Um, I just realized that I that the number of recs I posted in this category was not divisible by um, 5, so here's one more... Just a little OCPD.

Why This Must Be Read: This is the first McKay/Dex story I ever read and I have found that Hth captures the dynamics of the two characters, giving the idea of this pairing a level of believability that I wasn't expecting going into the story. I will read almost any McKay pairing once, he is my character of choice for Atlantis, but there are only a few pairings I actively seek out. The remainder tend to only be if I stumble across them. This author, this story put McKay/Dex on my actively sought list.

The premise of the story is simply really, Rodney and Ronon bond over the expected for them, food. Rodney kind of misses the significance of the bonding, but it will all work out in the end. A typical plot line brought to life in an extraordinary way. The story itself can be a stay alone or seen as a prequel/prologue to In the Hands of Yes.
