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.

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
