Summary: The letter from his great-uncle’s lawyer tells him that he’s inherited ownership of the store, and it’s probably in his best interests to sell it, unless he’s willing to put the time and effort into refurbishment. He’ll get a handsomely inflated price for his East Bay real estate, the letter assures him, in addition to what he’s already inheriting. He thinks about it for a few weeks – the supply runs are long and also boring; the "milk run" jokes got old around the time he hauled his third cargo of powdered dairy product, and he’s almost done -- it’s not like he has anywhere better to go.
He flips a coin, and starts packing two months later.

Apr. 15th, 2019 09:41 pmpopkin16People often post - either to tumblr in general or directly to me - looking for specific fics. I feel like those could be a good way to rec fic too, since they usually include a description.
So:

This is driving me crazy: I’m remembering a McShep fic that’s post-series (or season five?). McKay is dating Keller, and he can’t keep up with the amount of sex Keller wants to have. John gives advice on how Rodney can make anal more pleasurable for himself. And then they start dating, I think. Anyone recognize this? Help please!
