Why This Must Be Read: For the winter holiday season, how about a lovely story about friendship and gift-giving? This was one of the first batch of stories that I read in this fandom and is still one of my favorites. In early second season, when the Daedalus supply runs are still a relatively new thing, the SG-1 team members decide to send care packages to their Atlantis counterparts. It's a funny, gentle, sweet story with nice development of the Sheppard/McKay friendship, as well as good SG-1 bits in the beginning.
From where he was sitting, John couldn’t see what McKay was doing with the package exactly. It looked a lot like opening a package, but then not. There was turning and twisting and rattling and … was that fondling? The name of the sender had been Carter, and yes, he knew that Rodney had a thing for the SG-1 scientist, but this? McKay was fondling the package, looking for all the world like a kid on Christmas morning. And he hadn’t even opened it yet.
John sidled closer to get a better look. All the care packages from Earth had been deployed from the Daedalus, leaving him as the only one without one. He didn’t expect anything, didn’t want anything, he told himself, but that didn’t stop a wistful smile from flitting over his features as he watched McKay. There was something about receiving a package. Especially when it was unexpected. And John knew that McKay hadn’t expected anything.
“So, Rodney …” John began as he slouched in the chair opposite McKay. “Are you going to make this your holy grail or are you going to open it?”
“Please, Colonel.” Ever since his promotion, Rodney had been tripping over the new rank. Deliberately. Maybe the fun had finally worn off. "This package marks the proof of a theory. It must be handled with the proper amount of admiration and respect.”
“Respect it later, when you know what’s in it.” John gestured toward the brown box. “For all you know, she could have packed a rattlesnake.”
McKay rolled his eyes. “I checked. No movement.”
“It could be a dead rattlesnake.”
“Even that would make a sound, and could you maybe stop ruining the mood here?"
