Why This Must Be Read:

Because Rodney discovers unexpected facets of John Sheppard when he accepts John's invitation to his father's funeral. First it's muffled, then it's sharp, then it becomes scorching. There are slightly kinky things done while John is wearing his dress uniform. But it's about much more than hotness:

"You don't seem—" Rodney stopped. He'd just started talking, as usual, and only once he'd realised what he was about to say did he question whether it was wise.

But John swivelled his head to look at him, all military and rigid outer shell.

"I just mean—I'm surprised more people aren't, you know. Talking. To you. Being his son, and all."

John smiled slightly and leaned in. "But I was his disgraced son. They're mostly talking about me, not to me."
