Strangers On A Six Train by eye_queue Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Synposis: AU in which McKay is a professor who really doesn't like trains. Sheppard is a mysterious stranger who rescues him from death-by-claustrophobia and their friendship and more starts from there.
Rating: PG-13
Gushing: As with many Stargate: Atlantis fans, I find it impossible to pic one favourite fic - it's just undoable! The best I can normally do is my top 3, and this is one of those fics that undoubtedly makes it there! It's not an epic, but it does have a Harlequin-esque plot which keeps me reading, and it also has the great ability to give me the warm fuzzies - which to my mind you can never have enough of! I love how perfectly clueless McKay is in this fic, and how
eye_queue manages to successfully pitch Sheppard as a flirty and kinda shy, normal straight guy. There is no epic plot, but this fic really doesn't need one; it's about the mundane of life, and the sweetness of a relationship (granted with a smidgen of angst and misunderstandings along the way). Go read!
