Why This Must Be Read: Tentacle fic this month, just for a change, so all my recs are going to be pretty high-rated. No idea why, but there's just not a lot of genfic in this category *grin* . This one is excellent, as it's a great exploration of the difference between fantasy and reality, as John and Rodney take the first steps toward a relationship. With the help of some tentacles, of course. Highly recommended.

When John opens his door, he's not too surprised to find Rodney standing there, holding his arms behind his back the way he does when he's feeling defensive.

"Listen, I want to try again," Rodney says, his face set determinedly. "I gave myself an enema."

John smiles over Rodney's shoulder at the group of zoologists passing by. They smile back nervously and walk faster.

John resists the urge to press the heel of his hand into his eye socket. Instead he says, "Okay, you'd better come in."
