Why This Must Be Read: If you enjoy darker and distressing fics you might like this. It's non-linear, and what's actually happening is revealed slowly. Anagrrl lets you figure it out in your own time, there's no rush despite the short length of the fic. I don't want to spoiler it because of the way it unveils, but I will say if you only like happy endings this is not going to satisfy you.


"Do you want to?" Sheppard asks, leaning slightly closer, like he's being pulled towards Rodney.

Rodney laughs. "Are you insane? Wait, no, clearly you are. Yes, yes, come on, let's get out of this hallway." He's already walking towards his room. He doesn't need to look back to know that Sheppard is following him.
