Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Post-Hive this story is patented Giddy Geek, there’s snark and fabulous characterization and I love Rodney a lot in this.
“Over the next twenty-five years, we could have sex 3900 times,” Rodney said, ignoring him, “if we averaged about four times a week, which I certainly could. In that same twenty five years, you’d come close to dying 45 times while I watched helplessly, if you continued averaging about 1.8 times a year, which you almost certainly will–and look how generous I’m being. I’m not even taking into account the number of times you could almost die while I fight to save you. I’m sorry, but in terms of risk assessment, those are just unacceptable numbers, Colonel.”
