Why This Must Be Read: Basicly because its Pretty Woman, McShep style. With Rodney as the brilliant astrophysicist and John as an ex-Air Force Major turned hooker.
When I first started to read this story, I figured it was going to be kind of OOC, with John in Julia Roberts's role, and Rodney in Richard Gere's role. It it that, but it's so much more. Instead of your typical Pretty Woman AU, where the characters more or less acts like Julia and Richard did in the movie, you have John and Rodney, even Elisabeth, Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson and Kavanaugh, just like the are in the show. This fic is filled with snark, fluff, angst, romance, imagined unreturned feelings, and the love the Sheppard/McKay pairing manage to fill completely. This fic had me crying, laughing and grinning like a loon all at once. It's perfection in 9 chapters.

>Jeannie's eyes narrowed and she turned to John. “Who is this guy and what did you do with my brother?”

John shrugged, but he was still grinning. “I married him.”

Hiya! I'm tagging for you and I just wanted to stop and say "THANK YOU!" for alphabetizing the categories. Makes tagging sooo much easier. I'm sure that isn't why you're doing it but it makes it a bit nicer for me. Thank you! *squishes*

Hey hon:) No problem, I will continue doing so then. I'm actually doing it because it's easier for people, than if the categories are all jumbled! And besides, looks so much shinier thin way don't it? ;)

It's a Thor convention! Yanno, that's kind of eerie because I tend to alphabetize lists just because it makes them neater. :) When I did rec, I tended to list them in weighted importance from most applicable to least, but in cases of equal importance I alphabetize.

*hugs*

THOR! :) I do too! Always when I make a list, I ramble down the points, and then write it alphabetized and neat, hehe.

*hugs* I'm sorry I haven't been by your journal lately. Just been so busy!

*squishes* Oh, hon, this is a busy time of year for everyone. There's nothing wrong with taking care of business. LJ will still be there when life quiets down.

Wow! I was wondering how people found my fic! I hadn't promoted it anywhere yet, lol. :) Thanks so much for the rec. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

One minor thing if you want to edit the post there's an "S" at the end of my name :) Thanks again! It always leaves me warm and fuzzy to get recced anywhere!
