Author’s summary: McKay has an unfortunate encounter with one of the local denizens on a new world.
Why This Must Be Read: This is a short, adorable story from Arduinna inspired by one of Frank Hayes’ filksongs.
It’s a bit angsty and all about Rodney getting hurt and John comforting him. Of course, they deal with the ill-fated event in their own unique, endearing and heartwarming way.
So, go ahead, and enjoy this little treat.
"Easy," Sheppard murmured soothingly from behind him, his hands stroking down Rodney's arms and then back up, proof he was there. "I'm right here, remember? And you gotta relax for me now, let me do the work here."
"Right, yes, of course. Relaxing." He shut his eyes and pretended very hard to be asleep.
"Rodney?"
"Yes?"
"You're even tenser now."
"This is as relaxed as I get. Take it or leave it." He shivered convulsively.
"Dammit," Sheppard muttered. He backed away for a second, letting go of Rodney completely as he made rustling noises, then shifted even closer, easing himself between Rodney and the tree, arms coming up to wrap around Rodney's chest. He felt like a furnace at Rodney's back, and the heat did what the suggestion couldn't. "That's it," Sheppard said, "that's great, just keep letting those muscles go -- just make sure you don't let go of your thigh, okay?"
"Tell you the truth, I'm not sure I could let go if I wanted to," Rodney admitted.
