I love the idea that it's one of those unofficial Atlantis rules. I wonder if John and Rodney are aware of the rule?

I also suspect a good portion of them are like, "Really? *HIM*?" When it comes to Rodney, because he may be good looking, but he's an asshole. And then he saves their lives, everyone on the city, perhaps the entire planet, AND he gets all soft & worried when John gets hurt, and then it's like, "Ohhhh."

I've always really loved the idea that John (and Rodney) really win over the people who do a rotation on Atlantis. A good portion become "lifers" who never want to leave Atlantis. But whenever people DO rotate back to the SGC, you can always tell where they've come from.

(Some of my favorite fics touch on this.)

I love unofficial rules for things!

They're probably aware of the rule for each other, but never think it applies to them. John would be all, of course we need a rule about how Rodney is off limits, but still be confused anytime someone shows interest in him. Rodney would be all, make sure all newbies are informed that hitting on the Colonel is *not* allowed, but not realise that there's a rule for him as well.

And yes - I love all the 'what does Sheppard see in McKay' tropes, followed by, 'oh. THAT!'

Everyone loves John and Rodney. 100%. Doesn't matter how long they're on Atlantis for, they all get won over. This would be epic in fics!

There definitely needs to be more of this kind of thing in fics XD
