A typo, obviously...

In my previous whine post, I accidently said I wanted people to write snippets to amuse me. Clearly, I meant to say I wrote a snippet to amuse myself. A Sheppard/McKay snippet, actually.


"Define 'inexperienced'".

"Well," John said, "as in 'not having much experience in a particular area of--of expertise'.

"Exactly how much is 'not much'?"

"Could we not discuss this right now?" John didn't want to talk about it; he didn't want to talk about anything right now. Trying to make his point, he pulled his shirt off and pushed Rodney down on the bed.

"Hold it, hold it," Rodney said, with his characteristic let-me-get-this-straight tone, even as he rubbed his hands across John's chest. "By 'not much', do you mean 'I once ogled a guy's ass in the showers' or 'I haven't made it through all the positions in the Gay Kama Sutra yet'?"

John blinked. "There's a Gay Kama Sutra?"

"Asked and answered, thank you." Rodney lay back, pulling John down over his body. "Have you *ever* had sex with a man before?"

"You mean other than myself?"

For a long moment Rodney stared up at him. He began to smile. "So in other words," Rodney said slowly, "I'm your first. Because you're so crazy about me that you--"

"Hey, hey--let's not get carried away here. I just--"

"You find me irresistible," Rodney told him, grinning broadly.

"Now did I say that?"

"You didn't have to. I inferred it. You've sucumbed to the infamous McKay charm."

"Infamous, huh?" It was, at least, an appropriate description. He relented. "Maybe a little."

Admitting it wasn't so bad after all. Because even though it made Rodney ridiculously pleased with himself, he was even more pleased with John. Which in ended, resulted in John feeling very pleased indeed.

It's just the nuances between "okay", "good" and "great" that vary.

True enough.

He's flirty, but it's not a smarmy, manipulative sort of thing. It *is* kind of innocent. It's not a stretch for me to see him as doing it unintentionally. He's just being nice.

I definitely don't think he's being manipulative, etc. I'm not as sure if it's unintentional. I could read him easily as either a) unintentionally trying to smooth the road by being nice, which comes across as flirty; or b) intentionally flirty to smooth the road but hiding his real self away behind it. I think it depends on what exactly happened in his past that made him disobey orders, hide his math skills, etc. Maybe it's nothing really interesting and so he's not hiding any emotional damage behind a facade of flirting, in which case scenario a is likely. On the other hand, if we learn there's actually some nasty stuff in his past and he doesn't want to deal with it emotionally, then I think scenario b, flirting as the first line of defense, seems likely.

But very complex, and yes, I definitely think insecure. He's so damn interesting.

Oh yeah. And snarky as anything - I love complex and insecure and interesting, but if he were as boring as burnt toast it wouldn't do a thing for me.

I'm definitely waiting for the day Rodney calls him "John".

I will melt with glee when/if that happens. Of course, on SG-1, Jack still calls Sam Carter most of the time, suggesting that TPTB in Stargate aren't necessarily big on name changes, even for pairings they are apparently trying to promote.

I think they get a big kick out of each other. And out of poking at each other.

Oh yeah. :) Even when Weir is nominally in charge of a meeting, it turns into a Sheppard/McKay Snarkfest because they focus on each other and start bouncing jibes off each other pretty quickly. Which I love. I think the writers like it too, because almost every ep begins after the credits with them snarking on each other.

I rewatched it, and still couldn't figure out if Weir came to see the real McKay or not.

It's confusing - which is pretty much my description of the ep, not because the plot was hard to follow, but because they tried to write too many character hallucinations and "fool" us, but in the process it became hopelessly muddled, I thought.

Ok, here's why I think that was actually Weir's hallucination, despite it opening with McKay. We know McKay actually got it on with his neighbor lady in his hallucination, but in this scene it was pretty clear that he had been masturbating. All of Weir's hallucinations had her in that pink t-shirt, which is what she was wearing when McKay opened the door. McKay's hallucination had her dressed quite differently.

It's not exactly an evidential home run or anything, but that's why I think it was her hallucination. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though, because I love the idea of McKay wearing that t-shirt for real. :)
