REC
This is set early in the series when they're still exploring the city and trying to figure out what's what. The banter between Sheppard and McKay is so like them, and there's a line in here that my best friend's husband still quotes 12 years later even though he's never read the fic--he just heard us quote it and it stuck with him. The fic itself is just ridiculous fun (I'm sensing a theme with my recs here).
TEASER
A few minutes and a few more suckerfish later, Sheppard shook his head in amazed disappointment. "I really would have thought there'd be more fish."
"Maybe we just haven't seen them yet, Aquaman."
"We've been down here for hours, McKay."
"Look, when we get back to Earth, I promise to take you to Sea World. Until then, I can't help you with your fish problem. We're very big and probably very noisy to fish ears--"
"Do fish have ears?"
"Your faith in my boundless knowledge is ... actually a lot more annoying than I would have expected. Anyway, probably the fish are hiding from us."
"Huh." Sheppard's voice grew thoughtful. "Maybe they're hiding from that."
Rodney looked up, registered BIG and LOOM and TEETH and immediately grabbed for the arms of his chair, but by then it was already far too late.
