Why This Must Be Read: When Ronon had first joined Sheppard's team, he couldn't understand why they let McKay off Atlantis. If he was as valuable as he said he was, he should be protected as any prized resource; if he wasn't, then he should shut up. Now Ronon knew that McKay was even more valuable than he boasted, but he also understood why they let him go.

If I were to write the basic foundations for Rodney/Ronon, this would be one of them (along with bonding over food, which god knows you have to love, but can't be everything.) The thing is that we don't really know much about Ronon, and that can be limiting. Or in this case, it can make all the difference, because without any canon to go by, fic authors like this one are free to create backgrounds that somehow just work for the character that allow him to bond over something that isn't weaponry or food, in this case music.

This story is gorgeous and sweet and fun and more importantly, Ronon offers to shoot a piano. Doesn't get better than this.
