Why This Must Be Read: This is the young Rodney McKay prostitute fic you've been looking for.

It all came down to Rodney McKay. As usual. John sighed to himself; he was placing his life and health in the hands of the same genius as always. All he could hope was that Rodney, even a Rodney who was probably only 16 years old, would be able to solve this problem. No matter how old, he was still probably the smartest guy on the planet.

Thanks for reccing this--was fun to reread it on AO3! (For my money it reads as thoroughly gen, not McShep, but I know you just copied iibnf's tagging....)

[melagan]

It's always a tricky thing to mess with an author's tags...

Tricky because it really does need the mature tag but could be read as friendship.

I just added pre-slash to the pairing tag. Hopefully, that will help.

Oh, yikes. I didn't mean my comment as a criticism in any way, y'know--just an observation.... /o\

[melagan]

*smishes you* No worries. The same thing crossed my mind when I reread it.

Hi - thank you so much for the rec! I got a couple of nice feedbacks from that.

BTW, I'm not Bernice - I don't know who you linked to - she might be a bit surprised :D I'm iibnf.livejournal.com, though...

[melagan]

Thanks, hon. All straightened out now. I was going through my kindle, rereading some of my favorite stories and this one isted the author as Bernice. I thought it must be an old LJ story...well, that's where the confusion came from.

People don't keep the same pseud when moving from platform to platform and I'm so glad you gave me a head's up so I could fix it.

For all we know, Bernice could be having a very happy morning and wondering where all the attention came from.

[iibnf]

She just might! Hopefully she's slash friendly :D (I can't see she's ever posted anything, anyway...)

I think I've been IIBNF since the early 1980s? I'm so old...

[melagan]

Very pleased to meet you IIBNF! I'm glad your story is getting some hits and comments. It's a great story and I was delighted to rec it.
