Author's Summary:

“Oh, stop sulking. I’ll talk to you when I’m done, but I’m at a critical stage here, and your neanderthal-esque emotional turmoil is a diversion I can’t afford. Go get beaten up by some marines or something while you wait for me.”



Why This Must Be Read:

To be honest, this is a John/Rodney fic and Jack O'Neill is barely in it, but he's there just enough that I can rec it in this category. ::grin::

It's a fun first-time sentinal fic where Sentinel John finally meets Guide Rodney in the SGC, not in Antartica. But you don't really care because it's Rodney at his snarkiest. And supportive!O'Neill is nicely done.






When the elevator doors screech closed, John leans against the back wall and watches the display tick down as it descends past each floor. He spent the weekend being buttered up by an endless wave of global elites, his parent’s latest attempt to pair him up with a guide of their choosing, someone with the right connections and breeding. It took all his energy to keep the incessantly probing minds of the voracious guides out of his head and it’s all he can do now to keep himself upright (with a little help from the wall). He’d hoped that after nearly forty years everyone would let him be – after all, he’s survived this long on his own, it’s a pretty sure bet that he’ll manage the rest of his life without a guide – but he forgot to factor in the covetous ambition of his family. It doesn’t matter that he’d left home and joined the Air Force as soon as he was old enough, eschewing his inheritances and his assumed position on the board of Sheppard industries in favour of throwing himself into the sky with arms wide open. He’s still a Sheppard and no matter where he goes in life that means something to almost everyone he meets and ignites a hunger in even the least ambitious of guides.
