Why This Must Be Read: John moves to Alaska on a whim and takes up a job as a night-time radio host. Cue one Rodney McKay, late night caller and fact-checker extraordinaire. 3am phonecalls lead to something more. This fic is just fantastic, John as a radio host is such a good idea and Rodney as a grumbling caller is even better. There's a little bit of personal angst as they find their feet with each other, but it ends on a high.

"I hope you're aware that your cute little 'did you know' segment on pulsars just now is such a gross simplification of astronomy that I don't even know where to begin," the caller says without preamble.

John is used to all kinds of people calling in. Some jump right in, just giving him a quick heads up on something, others seem to want to tell their life story before getting to the point. So this isn't completely unusual. What is unusual is that the guy seems pretty worked up about a little throwaway line John used to fill the pause between songs. "Yes," he simply says.

"Oh," the answer comes, slightly surprised. "Well, that's good because it is," the man continues.
