Why This Must Be Read: This is an excellent story where teenage John and Rodney meet by accident in a museum, in Canada. It's about friendship developing across a few hours, and as with all pre-canon fics it's a little bitter-sweet as there's just this one meeting, but I like to think it precedes canon. Great characterisation and dialogue - a fun read, and the ending is stellar!
"Come with me," said Private School finally. He strode down the corridor and stopped at the far end, spreading his arms wide and reciting in a brisk tour-guide sing-song, "The bridge between the front lobby and the museum itself was designed as a transition-space from the mundane world to the amazing realm of hands-on science. Take a deep breath," he instructed. "Are you feeling the transition to the amazing realm of hands-on science?"
"Oh, I'm feelin' something," John eye-rolled.
He was really starting to enjoy that annoyed little huff.
