A Deeply Profound Post-Hive Fic

[thegrrrl2002]

No, really, this is serious stuff. And you all can blame mmmchelle for it, because it was all her idea. ::smooches chelle::




Inadequacies
A Post-Hive Ficlet


"Oh, oh god yes," Rodney gasped, legs splayed over John's lap. Twisting his hips, he shoved down sharply onto John's cock. "Please John--oh, this is so good, really, really good."

John hooked an arm under Rodney's knee and lifted, positioning Rodney so that he could thrust hard and fast. He did something breathtaking with his hand, tightening it as he stroked up over the head of Rodney's cock.

Rodney yelped and grabbed at the sheets, his own hands seeking purchase as his shoulders curled up off the bed. Fuck, it was good, so good, too damn good to last. A rush of pleasure, body straining and shaking and thank *god*, he was coming, room spinning as the warmth spattered against his stomach. He let out a long, loud moan before falling back, body completely and utterly spent. Closing his eyes, he floated dizzily, only distantly aware of John groaning and clutching his legs as he came.

Afterward, John held still, body trembling against Rodney's thighs. "Whoa," he finally murmured.

Rodney snorted, opening his eyes and grounded himself with John's bemused expression. "Whoa is right." Reaching an arm around John's damp shoulder, Rodney pulled him down into a kiss.

John pressed his forehead to Rodney's cheek, shuddering as his cock slid out. "So, it was good?"

"Huh?" Rodney frowned with what little strength he had left. "That was our second round of oh-my-god-you're-not-dead sex. Of course it was good."

John nodded, looking unconvinced. With a sigh, he eased down onto the bed and kissed Rodney's shoulder.

"Which, by the way, we have far too much of," Rodney added, tightening his grip around John's shoulder. "Can you please not do that anymore?"

"But it's so much fun." John nuzzled his way up to Rodney's neck. "And by the way, Carson finally told me how much enzyme you had injected yourself with. Could you please not do that again?"

"Gladly. Just don't make me have to keep trying to rescue you. I did not enjoy nearly dying of enzyme withdrawal." Rodney said. "I don't think I've fully recovered yet."

"Does that mean round three is out?" John licked his ear.

"Mmmm." Rodney stretched his stiff legs, then ran his hand down John's deliciously long, lean back. "Maybe after a nap?"

John raised his head and smiled. "Okay."

"And since I'm still feeling a bit weak from the almost-dying thing," Rodney added, "Do you think you could possibly go and get me a towel?"

"Sure." John nodded and slid off the bed. Then he hesitated, turning back to Rodney. "Was it really good?"

Rodney frowned. "What?"

"The sex. Me being inside of you."

"What is with you?" Rodney asked in disbelief. Very weird--John was the last person he'd ever expect to come up with feelings of inadequacy. Rodney pointed to the come dripping off his stomach. "Where do you think this came from?"

"Right. Good point." John disappeared into the bathroom.

Rodney leaned back onto the pillow, closing his eyes. He wondered what the Wraith had done to John, to bring out this strange, unJohn-like behavior.

A long moment later he opened his eyes to find John, towel in hand, standing in front of the mirror on his closet door. He was brushing a hand over his head, gazing thoughtfully at his perpetually-unkempt hair.

"If you don't get back here with that towel," Rodney called out, "you're napping in the wet spot."

John looked at him through the reflection in the mirror. "What do you think of Ronon's hair?"

Rodney blinked, confused. Clearly, John had been more traumatized than he had admitted to during his time on the Wraith ship. "Ronon's hair is very nice," he said in his most gentle tone. "Now come back to bed, John."

John took one last look in the mirror, then returned to the bed, handing Rodney the towel. "Think I should grow my hair longer?"

Rodney paused in the wiping of his stomach. "Don't you have some regulations against that?"

"Yeah." John flopped down on his back. "But Ronon--" he stopped, rubbing his head again.

"What about Ronon?"

"He hides *knives* in his hair."

"Really?" One last swipe, and Rodney tossed the towel on the floor. He settled back in, curling up around John's warm body. "I didn't know that. "

"Me, neither."

"Cool." Rodney thought about it. Very impressive, actually.

"It is, isn't it?" John said mournfully. "His hair is totally cool."

Suddenly Rodney got it. "John," he said, propping himself up to look into John's hooded eyes. "Your hair is very cool, too. Rakish, remember?"

"I can't hide weapons in it."

"Let's see." Rodney examined the dark, chaotic mess, running his fingers through it, pushing thick strands one way, then the other. "No, not really. Not much room in there."

"I was thinking maybe a little C4?"

"Only if you use it as a styling product." When John's eyes widened hopefully, Rodney added, "and I would not recommend doing that."

John's face fell. "I suppose you're right."

Rodney patted his chest, then laid back down, head resting on John's shoulder. "Of course I'm right."

They lay quietly, John reaching for Rodney's hand, his fingers skimming lightly over Rodney's knuckles. "He had knives everywhere," John finally said.

"John, seriously? I don't think dreads would be a good look for you."

"Hair's too straight for it," John agreed, obviously having had given it some thought.

"Listen, despite the lack of weaponry-concealing hair, you're very hot," Rodney said, trying not to smile. "In an extremely manly kind of way."

John rolled toward him, lifting Rodney's chin for a kiss, but Rodney stopped him with a finger to his lips. "Not only that, but you're the one sleeping with the most brilliant man on the base."

"Zelenka?" John frowned. "Rodney, I'm not sleeping with Zelenka."

"What?" With a growl, Rodney rolled on top, pushing a laughing John into the mattress and kissing him--well, okay more like biting than kissing, but John only hung onto to Rodney and laughed harder.

I haven't even watched the ep yet, but this makes me *extremely* happy. And the hotness goes to eleven. *g* And hey, I'm not just virtually grinning--I'm really grinning. And kind of hoping no one passes by my cubicle, but still: big dorky grin. *g* Yes!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you! I made you grin. Dorkily! I'll bet you look as cute as John.

And this episode is seriously fabulous. JF has it all going on, cute and funny and goofy and then hot hot hot hot. With a side of hot.

Okay, so I'm still a little giddy over it.

[namastenancy.livejournal.com]

Utterly delicious and very funny. I'm going over to chelle's journal and tell her what a good bad person she is to lead you into temptation and pOrny thoughts!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Shame on her! She's SUCH a bad influence on me. *g*

Glad you liked!

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

C4 as a styling product??? LOL...just what i needed today, hot and fun!!! thank you!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

He may already be using it, you never know. *g*

And you're welcome! Glad you enjoyed.

[lillyjk.livejournal.com]

*g*

ah, that just hit the spot.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Hee! I needed to be a little silly.

[mmmchelle.livejournal.com]

Reading it for the third time I had almost as much fun as I did reading it for the first.

BTW, sweetie, you lost an 's' from the word kiss in the third paragraph from the end.

The phrase "weaponry concealing hair" makes me giggle every time I read it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

Ahahaha, are you denying responsibility for that lost "s"? I've thanked you for instigating this anyway. Shooo good.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Hee. That was terrific.

*officially renounces seriousness*

*eagerly signs up for humor and sex and knives-in-the-hair*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Hee! Great icon! And you can't even see the knives from here.

I think there's room for seriousness AND knives-in-the-hair in fics. ::nods::

There is just so much to love about this show.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

OMG I LOVE YOU.
Both.
All three. Four. Whatever.

Even if you left an s out of kiss.

This is so cute and right and I'm glad about this sort of tag, thankies.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Hee! I so love the dorky side of John. And I'm glad you liked it.

He's such a little boy in your icon, it's so damn cute!

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

Heh. Also haven't seen the episode yet, but...two things:

"Listen, the despite the lack of weaponry-concealing hair, you're very hot,"

Think there's an extra "the".

"Not only that, but you're the one sleeping with the most brilliant man on the base."

"Zelenka?" John frowned. "Rodney, I'm not sleeping with Zelenka."

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Even John knows. ;)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I can't believe those error slipped in there!

And believe me, this will make much more sense (especially emotionally) when you see the ep. *g*

[klo-the-hobbit.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmmmyeeeeesssssssssss *purrs happily*
See, the infirmary scene at the end was totally superfluous, they should have filmed this instead! Or..... you know, not. Because I'm pretty sure you have to pay extra for the channels that show this stuff.
*klo*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Hee! I agree, I would have much rather have seen something along these lines. I'd pay extra for it, really, I would.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

"John, seriously? I don't think dreads would be a good look for you."

"Hair's too straight for it," John agreed, obviously having had given it some thought.

heeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

But he so wants them.*g*

[coreopsis.livejournal.com]

awww, they are so cute. Ronon does have cool hair, but it only really works for him....and the Wraith, oddly enough. hmmmm, now I wonder what the Wraith hide in their hair. *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, good point! I hadn't thought about that. Maybe they hide snacks in there. Little bugs or something.

Both the Wraith and Ronon both have the cool coats.

I think John and Rodney need big long cool-looking coats. In leather.

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

I should be doing work, but who cares when I can read this!!

Playful!McShep is one of my favorite shades of McShep! Love that.

And please, please, thank you for this:

"Gladly. Just don't make me have to keep trying to rescue you. I did not enjoy nearly dying of enzyme withdrawal." Rodney said. "I don't think I've fully recovered yet."

"Does that mean round three is out?" John licked his ear.


If wanted to see some comforting..but hey, them just going for it even better!!!

I still can't get over Ronon hides knives in that hair!*smile*

John with dreAds..nope, but Rodney playing with John's hair..OH HELL YES!!

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

Eventually I will be able to spell..damn people interrupting me when I'm doing something important, like leaving feedback for a story that was just so good..and so needed right now!!

It should be.."I wanted.." and "dreads"

Can I just say again, you two are the TRUE DYNAMIC DUO!!!!

[20thcenturyvole.livejournal.com]

Dirty boys! Dirty dirty dirty! *glomps*

I know this is redundant, but man, you give good porn.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

LOL, thank you! You're so nice. *g*

I love it when they're dirty, too.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

This is totally adorable. John's hair envy is just so darn *cute*. He's going to have to figure out new ways of stashing wepons, isn't he?

And Rodney! Hee! Such a great -- and hot -- story.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Hee! Cute little Christmas elf you've got there!

I'm sure John is going to be pondering the weapon question for a long time. Although, seriously, he has Ronon, isn't that weapon enough?

[spikedluv]

Oh, god, poor John, lol, jealous over Ronon's weapons-hiding hair. Hee. And also, hot. Loved the laughter at the end, 'cause sex (even the post-coital kind) should be fun. Thanks!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it! I just know John wants to have the coolest hair of them all. *g*

And they need to have silly sex, as much as possible.

[cheights.livejournal.com]

LOL, this was the perfect thing to read before heading out to battle traffic. John was so jealous of all those hidden knives. *g* Thanks for making me grin.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked. And John really was jealous, I could tell. ::nods:: He wants to have the coolest hair of them all.

[shendara.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, that was exactly what I needed after the end of the episode. Some nice John/Rodney, sex and lots of humor and love. Thank you. :)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! I needed that too, to think of them being fun and silly together. Especially after seeing Rodney's big woobie eyes--damn, those closeups of 'oh my god Sheppard's dead' just do me in.

Someone hug that man, damn it!

[reginabellatrix.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" Rodney frowned with what little strength he had left. "That was our second round of oh-my-god-you're-not-dead sex. Of course it was good."

::giggle:: That's what was missing from the episode: the oh-my-god-you're-not-dead sex. They should be ashamed of themselves, leaving something that important out. Of course, they couldn't have done it as well (or as sweetly) as you, so maybe it's for the best.

Thanks so much for sharing.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Thank you! They definitely needed to be having some rollickin' sex after this ep. Don't the writers know that? Sheesh.

*g*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is just too adorable.
Poor John! (g)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

He so wants to have the coolest hair of them all. *g*

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

LOL! John and his dread envy is almost as funny as the clown line. :D

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

LOL, dread envy! It's so true though. I could see in his eyes. *g*

[sp23.livejournal.com]

A Deeply Profound Post-Hive Fic

Hee! And so it was.

"I was thinking maybe a little C4?"

Yeah, see, right there is where I totally lost it. You give good funny. :D

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! I try. *g*

Glad you enjoyed this!

[sage]

OMG this was WONDERFUL! And so entirely what I needed this afternoon. *beams*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

LOL, thank you! I think I needed to write it. It cheered me up considerably on a dull, boring day. *g*

[nilla.livejournal.com]

That was profoundly hawt and funny at the same time :) Now I have an image of John with dreadlocks. Not very flattering, mind you. We'll let the professionals (Ronon) run around with weapons hiding hair. Thanks for the wonderful fic.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, I'm glad you liked!

I think John could pull off the dread thing. ::thinks::

Well, maybe not. But he'd look dorkily cute trying.

[margueritem.livejournal.com]

Hee! So much love! *giggles*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Yay! *g*

I couldn't help the silliness. Again, all chelle's fault.

[dvswraatins.livejournal.com]

I was very moved by this profound piece //nods profoundly// very moved ;-)

Especially by John's hope that one day he may hide weapons in hair (doesn't he know the hair *is* a weapon?)

//squeezes you with glee//:-)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

::squeezes you up::

It was profound, wasn't it? See, you write this thoughtful, touching episode tag about recognition for Rodney's sacrifices, and you touch on moments from earlier eps, it's all moving and right and lovely and I write silly stuff about John's hair.

::is a dork::

And you are so right, John's hair is a weapon. Along with those lips. And the slouch.
