Fic idea

[popkin16]

I had this idea earlier today where Atlantis keeps cockblocking Rodney because John’s in love with him.

About to sleep with Katie? A malfunction in the fire detection system and the room is filled with fire suppressant foam. Trying to have a one night stand with a male marine? Large portions of Atlantis are losing power, and Rodney gets emergency calls. About to hook up with Keller? Abrupt, plunging temperatures that can only be the work of a glitch in the system.

Of course, when Rodney and John finally get together, everything goes smooth.

It's free to a good home ;)

It might be even funnier if Atlantis were cockblocking John...who is supposedly the king of Atlantis but noooooo....Atlantis knows what's best for John and John is in love with Rodney and Atlantis knows it. :D :D :D

*slams fist on table* I LIKE IT.

[runpunkrun]

Love it.

[popkin16]

It should exist!

I feel like it must...somewhere out there. I have an Atlantis/John/Rodney tag for exactly this reason, but I'm finding a lot more...mermaids and vampires in it than I'd expect. That's weird.

Wait, I think this is the fic I was thinking of:

Forty-Two (5955 words) by cathalin
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Jennifer Keller
Additional Tags: First Time
Summary: Maybe John has been paying more attention to Rodney than he's realized. Rodney does some thinking, and then tests a hypothesis.

I haven't read this fic in AGES. Definitely time to refresh my memory :D

Haha, great idea! And of course Atlantis can always make the malfunctions aid the cause, like trapping them in a room together then making it so hot that some clothes have to come off!

[escriveine]

Yes yes yes! Atlantis tries being "subtle", then runs out of patience with their obliviousness. =D

[popkin16]

Someone needs to write all this, STAT.

[popkin16]

Yessss, I LOVE IT.
