Why This Must Be Read: Atlantis is crack. Why should the AU fanfics be any different?

This was the first Atlantis fanfic I ever read. (Yes, fear for my sanity!) I hadn't seen the show, and I had only seen Rodney's appearance in 48 Hours on SG-1. Still, this fic laid me out laughing. Now that I've drunk the Kool-Aid? Even better! John is an ambulance driver and Rodney is a (tacky, tacky, horny) ER doc. Completely AU, and yet completely in character.

Excerpt:
"Okay then, go out with me," McKay said. "My first name is Rodney, don't call me 'doctor' in bed, I'm not tacky like that."

John scratched his head. John stomped his feet. John tucked his hands into his pockets, rolled his eyes towards the ceiling, rolled them down again to eyeball McKay and whistled involuntarily when he exhaled.

"WHY?" John asked.

"BECAUSE!" Rodney smiled and rattled on. "I'm an ER doctor. You're an ER ambulance driver. I'm smart. You're smart and fit. I work night shifts. You work night shifts. We both have hospital staff health plans and comfortable salaries. It's a match made in convenience."

"Romance is dead," John sighed.

"I know, woe, hey I bet there's medical grade lube in the back of your vehicle," Rodney led John to the parking bay. "I'm off my shift now, so lets go."
