Title: Sink or Swim
Author: clotpolelis
Recipient: gottalovev
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: M
Summary: And it had been such a normal mission, too. Just your everyday trade-with-the-primitive-people mission, like a thousand they've done before without incident in this stupid galaxy.
Author's note: I tried to throw in as many of your tropes as I could; I hope you

ahhhhhhh!!! *grins wide*

thank you so much Santa! I loved the fic, and with the amount of tropes I like that you weaved in (seamlessly!), I went "yay!" at every new development :)

I loved the humor, most of all, may it be in the banter, Rodney's though process or there at the end where there is some sexy teasing... What I definitely enjoyed is that John and Rodney manage to mostly save themselves (because they are good like that!), but still that the cavalry was ready to intervene if they wouldn't have.

The mix of pining, first kiss/time, huddling for warmth and feeling sharing rolled up in a fun Pegasus adventure sure made this tailored to my taste! So thank you again Santa for the good times, I really appreciate that you took the time to write me a story with my boys being in love and maybe a little stupid at fist, but giving into the inevitable. I really enjoyed it :)

Happy holidays!

Really, really, really liked this collection of tropes :-D

Ahaha, poor John and Rodney, even the simple missions seem to take a turn for them XD And for breeding purposes, of course. I wonder if part of the negotiations was giving the people the gene therapy to see if it takes? At least they got out of this one relatively unscathed - you could argue they end in better shape than they began, since they now have each other. I love that the device revealed they have the same feelings for each other, and gave them this sense of rightness. Mm, I love the idea of John jacking Rodney off while he talks calmly on his radio to his boss. Hnnng.

I had so much fun reading this, I really enjoyed it ♥

A bunch of cleverly interlocking tropes, very engaging, and nicely hot. An excellent read!

What a nightmare for John - a feelings device! LOL! Loved the tropes and how the boys revealed their feelings towards each other. This was so much fun!
