There's never been a fandom and couple that I've fallen for harder or faster than SGA and McKay/Sheppard. They are what's finally pulled me completely our of lurkerdom and I think it's time I acknowledge that. Below is a partial list of reasons I love McKay/Sheppard.

have the family before the relationship. Because at least three times
the fiction has anticipated the show. Because sometimes the

but they can't. Because sometimes the aliens
make them not do it. Bedause sometimes they make the
aliens do it. Because even
without their memories they're still somehow themsleves.
