and there's a podfic read by general_jinjur
Why This Must Be Read: A well-known classic, but apparently never reccd here before. Told from Rodney's POV, in which he elects to use alien tech for a temporary sex change as only women can access the stored artifacts of a matriarchal culture. John is moderately thrown by this, especially when Rodney commandeers him to test drive Rodney's new body sexually. Which goes less ideally than it might due to John being secretly way up there on the Kinsey scale. Rodney's perspective is funny, self-involved and perceptive all at once as he figures out what the hell is up with John, and of course, once he does and they're back home with Rodney male again, it's incendiary. Brilliantly written, and very hot.
"The point is, the effects last as long as I get irradiated in their Klein-theta machine every twenty-four hours. I get into the chamber, plus my fingers are smaller and my sense of smell is more acute. Plus: bonus! Breasts!"
"Is this seriously not freaking you out at all?"
"Oh, please. This is an unprecedented opportunity for knowledge! Many men claim to know how a woman feels, but until now no one has ever known from experience. I'm going to win every argument ever!"
He turned sideways to look at his profile in the mirror. "Do you think I should get a push-up bra?"
Sheppard made a gurgling noise.
"Or maybe I should give the other women a chance. They're still pretty perky even without help."
Sheppard stood up, jaw tight. "I'll just," he said, gesturing at the door.
