This SGA novel is AWESOME. I swear, it's one long McShep fic! I assume it's going to lack porn at the end, but hey, I'm one happy camper. The page I'm on is killing me with the slash. An excerpt that gives me joy:

"Then Kavanagh had taken up more important question-asking time by apologizing for Rodney and Sheppard's behavior. Rodney had snorted derisively, but before he could comment on Kavanagh's behavior, Kolesnikova [female engineer on a mission with them] frowned at him and said in a whisper, "You and the Major talk to each other as if you are badly-raised eight year olds. Not everyone finds that attractive."

Rodney allowed himself a restrained sneer. "The fact that our professional communications function on a level that Kavanagh doesn't comprehend is not my problem." Focusing his annoyance on Kavanagh made it easier to pretend he wasn't worried.

Rodney had always hated relying on other people, who were inevitably fallible and wrong and usually stupid, but once they had arrived in Atlantis it had startled him how quickly he had come to rely on Sheppard. It had occasionally been difficult to reconcile the fact that the surfer/pretty boy type who qualified for MENSA but couldn't be bothered to join was the same person who had stalked and killed Genii in the city's corridors like they were cockroaches, could snap a man's neck, and was crazy enough to attack a super-Wraith with a belt knife. But Rodney was over that now."

Um. Just try to tell me that couldn't be directly from a McShep fic! *flailyhands* PERFECTION. I love the author's Rodney-voice (which is impressive!) and seriously, John and Rodney are the only characters getting any real development or focus. IT'S AWESOME.

*clappyhands of joy*

Haha! Reliquary, right? YES. Awesome :)

YES! How in love are they? Sheesh. It's got so many little elements that I think of purely fanfic things - like random small touches that don't generally happen on the show, or long searching looks, or comments like "I thought you understood that about us." Like there's an us to understand!! It gives me joy :D

Your icon is possibly the cutest thing on planet earth.

John and Rodney are the only characters getting any real development or focus.

See, my problem is that *points up* is a Very Bad Thing to me. I like me some McShep, but not at the expense of everyone else.

Well, it's just a function of the story - John and Rodney's part in it is the most important, so the entire thing is from one of their perspectives, and everyone else falls victim to the bad guy, leaving them to be the heroes. There really isn't any room or reason for other people to be focused on. *shrugs* It totally works for me.

OMG this is JUST like a McShep fic! Sheppard being the smart surfer type, and McKay loving him for it.
