Why This Must Be Read: For the pairing alone :-) Well, no; for the pairing and the fact that as Casspeach says in the author notes Whilst rewatching the ep for the purposes of research I realised they actually have no screentime together whatsoever and she still makes it work.

This fic is based on the premise that when McKay is exiled to Russia after 48 Hours, Major Davis goes with him to tie up some loose ends from the DHD bargain. The fic covers the first few days of their time in a Russian hotel and there's a wonderful fumbling, frustrated feeling to the relationship that's formed between two tired, isolated men seeing a little of each other's secrets, but not enough to make it easy.

It's written from Paul's POV and we get to see not so much what lies beneath Rodney's abrasive exterior but the reasons for it. Rodney comes over as slightly weird (which, let's face it, he is) but not off-puttingly so. In fact, it's quite funny at times.

It is a WIP, last updated 7/11/05, but unless you have a severe allergic reaction to WIPs, this one's safe; it ends in a good enough place to be satisfying (although I'd love to see more).



"Out," he said finally, with a decisive nod of his head, "we should go out."

Paul agreed, trying not to sound as disappointed as he felt and probably failing.

"If you want the day to yourself you only have to say so," he said, "I won't be offended."

"You won't?"

"Well, um, I guess I would be... a bit," Paul conceded, unaccustomed to being called on his reflex courteous inaccuracy.

This was new territory for him, or rather, it had been so long since he'd negotiated more than an anonymous mutual orgasm that he'd lost the knack.

"I need to do the tourist thing," Rodney continued, oblivious to the torment in Paul's head, "because if I go back home without having at least glimpsed Red Square everyone is going to think I'm even weirder than I am, and I'd rather have company."

"Fair enough," Paul replied, wondering whether Rodney's bluntness would cease to be amusing to him before his time ran out and he had to go home.
