Why This Must Be Read: It's a wonderfully done harlequin fic in the Regency style - Rodney makes an amazing Austen heroine, lol. The language and the writing is very true to the period and honestly I just love everything about this fic, I re-read it constantly.
John tried to hide his smile behind his hand but his eyes darted up to look at Rodney. “I take it you are not a fan of the season in Atlantis?” he asked
“Hardly,” responded Rodney.
“I think you’ll enjoy it more this year, Merry,” said Kavanaugh, not-so-subtly inching his chair closer to Rodney.
Rodney leaned away slightly. “I have no desire to watch the untitled masses fawn and fall all over the elite in the hopes of securing a good match. The fact that I was not born into a titled family is a matter of chance or hazard and certainly not anything to do with my personal being and certainly doesn’t impeded my very considerable brilliance. The fact that Sheppard here is a Marquis is not through any of his own doing, but simply because he happened to be born a Marquis. He deserves neither an award nor a better chance at a spouse than anyone else.”
