Why This Must Be Read:
I was so sure I'd rec'd this already but apparently not. So...this is a quiet little fic in which everyone wants a piece of Rodney's time, but no one comes to claim their earnings. It's short and sweet and you need to go read it right this second!


It’s therefore a complete shock when Patterson (or is it Peterson?) refuses the chocolate and says, with a cheeky smile, "I’d rather take it in time."

God, is she coming on to him? The idea is… not too horrifying. She’s pretty, seems reasonably bright – not everyone in the military is an absolute idiot, consider Sheppard, for example – she’s only, uh, well, actually she’s got to be at least 15 years younger than he is. Almost young enough to be his daughter and what the hell is he thinking? What the hell is she thinking?

Apparently not the same thing he’s thinking. "I heard you traded someone a IOU on your time in exchange for a haircut? Like that. I want an IOU for an hour."
