Why This Must Be Read: This is a really unique AU where John is a cattle drover and Rodney is an agricultural scientist trying to figure out the origins of the Wraith outbreak that is drying up arable lands. There's lots of really clever nods to canon and it starts with some delicious Rodney whump but the reason I love it is how true the world building is and how in character everyone is.
Rodney’s totally unprepared for the sight of Sheppard, shirtless and sweaty and streaked with grease. His eyes ache from the glare, from the sun catching on the chrome of the bike, from the fierce light that seems to surround Sheppard.
Rodney clears his throat. “Let me guess,” he says. “It’s the exhaust.” Sheppard’s head swivels toward him quickly, and Rodney feels pinned by Sheppard’s gaze.
“McKay,” Sheppard says and the wariness in his voice makes McKay want to babble. “Long time no see.”
Rodney crouches down next to Sheppard and fingers the dismantled muffler. “You’re always having problems with these bikes. Look, you’re rusted right through, here and here. Fish oil would prevent that.”
“What are you doing here?” Sheppard says, sounding strained.
“I don’t know how your bikes rust so quickly anyway. It’s not like you have damp sea-breezes out here. Maybe you’re getting a lot of condensation in the mornings–where do you store the bikes? If you spent a bit more money you could have these parts made of stainless steel and then you wouldn’t have rust problems at all–“
