Pairing: McShep
REC
This is an AU series in which Rodney is an astrophysicist and John is an FBI agent. They meet when someone plants a bomb in Rodney's car. I absolutely love the dialogue in this whole series, and John and Rodney's relationship is hilarious.
TEASER
"She works two jobs," Darren continued morosely. "Waits double shifts and cleans offices first thing in the morning, sleeps maybe four hours a night in our crappy bed." He was silent for a while before he said firmly, "I just wanted to get her something nice."
"She sounds like she deserves it," John told him, and when Darren looked up, John cleared his throat and said, "Thing is, Darren? This bank idea didn't work out so good."
"No," Darren agreed sadly.
"And also, this side plan of yours I'm guessing isn't going to work out either," John said tentatively. "See, I work for the FBI--" Darren's eyes rounded in surprise "--and we've got this policy about not paying ransom or dealing." John shrugged helplessly. "I'm kind of worth no money."
Which was of course when the almost-eerie silence was shattered by a foghorn voice amplified by a loudspeaker into which Rodney McKay shouted:
"John Sheppard, you utter moron! You're the only person in the world who could get caught in a hostage situation trying to deposit a check!"
John covered his face. "Oh God," he said.
Darren stared. "Is that your lady?" he finally asked, mortified.
"Lady is such a strong word for him," John answered.
