Deeper Understanding by E. Batagur (NC-17)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: McKay/Beckett

Pairing: Rodney McKay/Carson Beckett (also features McKay/Sheppard, although this is very much a McKay/Beckett story)
Warning: Slash, possibly not the most generous portrayal of Sheppard
Author on LJ: soulsistahslash
Author's Website: SoulSistahSlash.com
Link: Deeper Understanding

Why This Must Be Read: E. Batagur is a talented writer with several McKay/Beckett stories (some of which are still in WIP status, otherwise I would have recced more) and I urge you to check out all of them. Deeper Understanding is an amnesia fic, where Rodney wakes up after an accident with memories of two different lovers and a jumble of confusing emotions. The writing is smooth and the ending gives me the warm fuzzies like nothing else. E. Batagur also has a knack for textual sensuality (that’s a term, right?) and the sex scenes manage to be both tasteful and incredibly hot.

I read this fic a few days ago and I agree with your rec. Definitely worth reading.

*nods* I'm usually a bit wary of fics where there is a potential for a love-triangle (the bad kind, i.e. not a threesome) but this worked very well.
