Fic: How Not to Fly

[toomuchplor]

Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: NC-17
Length: 56 731 words

Summary:

And then the door chimed, and Woolsey came in looking mournful and anxious, and everything got derailed.

Death and life, hope and hopelessness, aren't just for the Pegasus galaxy.  Eventually, inevitably, it's going to happen on Earth.  John and Rodney, loss and family and what it means to be home.

Warning: Death of a minor canon character in a way integral to the plot; deals with bereavement and loss suffered by a major character.  No major characters die in this story, however.

EEE THIS WAS FANTASTIC. You made me read it at work, but whatever--I loved it. Peej and Nora felt right on, and it felt right, too, that John would be so terrible at it at first, and that Ronon and Teyla would be so supportive and Rodney would be just exactly as he is. YAY!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy when I hear that PJ and Nora worked because they have become my dear little original characters and I am probably too fond of them by now.
