Posting Note: This is not a WIP. It's complete, and has been through 2 betas, but I'm still working on coding and the last tweaks from the 3rd beta. It will be updated daily until it's all posted (about a week?).
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard

Length: Oh. My. God.
Summary: John has a useful gift for compartmentalization: he discards the irrelevant and moves on. Then Rodney makes an ill-considered move on a mission, John steps up to take responsibility for making reparations to the locals, and things take a turn for the complicated as Rodney, an alien society, and an armada of ships make standard operating procedure completely impossible.
