Rec Category: AU (Earth-based, not science fiction)

Why This Must Be Read: In these increasingly political times, this is a good fic to re-read. John, Rodney, Ronon and Teyla are from very different backgrounds, and they all meet in the radical left world of organised resistance, food co-ops, Wiccans, and marches where they learn to cope with tear gas and other adventures. It's an interesting and different AU, with everyone very much in character. A great read.
Rodney McKay is an annoying little man - an economics major - who comes into the food co-op where John works with an armful of copies of the Campus Progressive Review and somehow never leaves.
He joins the co-op for the discount - "Neoliberalism's inadequate recognition of the value of pure academia," he mutters as he fills out the applications - and proceeds to make member meetings hell from that point forward. Rodney hasn't just read up on consensus procedure, Rodney has read more than anyone else on consensus procedure, and no one can get five words out without Rodney raising his hand and calling "point of order!" into the center of the circle. John kind of hates him, and cringes when he talks. But one day the back freezer breaks while Rodney's in the store, and in the thirty minutes Rodney spends under the refrigeration unit, snapping his fingers and calling out for tools, John figures out that he's a pretty good guy to have around. They convert the back generator to biodiesel the next day, and then Rodney starts fixing everyone's bikes and puts a solar panel on the roof. By the time Rodney starts coming around for a beer with the staff after the store closes, he's kind of grown on everyone. Or maybe just on John. Either way, when Rodney shows up and starts to talk about labor economics while John is stocking shelves, John hums and nods along. He's a little disturbed to find that he agrees, especially since Rodney is too busy discussing the fate of the proletariat to help him haul the heavy boxes.
