Rec: Option C by Jilly James

Title: Option C

Author: Jilly James

Canon: Stargate Atlantis

Pairing: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 10,030

Summary: Following an energy source, Rodney drifts into a sacred temple he was warned not to enter. There are only three ways out of the situation. Option A – leave Rodney behind. Option B – shoot a bunch of people and hope they all get out alive. Or Option C – get married. At least, that’s what they think Option C is.

Recommendation: I’m not always okay with ‘forced bonding’ except that John and Rodney want each other so much and they’re just too oblivious to notice so I feel like it’s more of a communication tool than anything. That and they have the nice handy 'native’ guide to talk them through the finer points. Elizabeth was rather frightening in this one I must say. I almost would have liked just a little more explanation of where the non-Ancient tech had come from, but that would probably detracted from the McShep, so I can’t complain too hard. {Update: Kagekanecavi has very kindly helped me update my link to this story as it had been pulled from AO3 since I’d set it up in my queue. Thank you very much. :)}
