You know what movie is totally about Rodney McKay? Possibly my favorite 80's movie of all time (although it's a dark horse in that competition - many people have never even seen it!)
Real Genius Rodney is totally Mitch! He's smarter than his parents and he feels out of place! He gets recruited onto a secret military project at his high school science fair by Dr. Hathaway! (Played with evil genius by William Atherton). He goes to college when he is 15, and tries to conceal his LONELINESS and AWKWARDNESS by taking notes in classes that other people skip, and by tucking his shirt in too tightly.
He is obviously in LOVE with his scorchingly hot older, brilliant, roommate Chris Knight (played by Val Kilmer), who teases him by walking around in nothing but low slung boxer shorts and MAD eyeliner (Val gives Stargate!Kurt Russell a run for his money in the eyeliner department in this one.)
Mitch/Rodney is hopelessly dorky, but strangely alluring. Sherry Nugil, mysterious older woman played by Sexual Psycho Patti D'Arbanville, comes to Mitch's dorm room in the middle of the night to SEDUCE him with her wily older-woman ways, in pursuit of her life goal of sleeping with the most intelligent men in the world.
(Our very own Rodney would tilt his chin WAY up if he encountered Sherry Nugil again as an adult. Of course, women should be pursuing him because of his brilliance, and he's sure that they would if everything he's done in the past 10 years hadn't been classified, and if Samantha Carter was not running prospective mates off at the pass when they try to pursue him into the Stargate program.)
Meanwhile, back in 1985,
Kent = Kavanaugh
Ick = Zelenka (cunningly disguised as Asian in the film, but remarkably similar in personality to Radek)
Jordon = Miko (stuttering and shy, yet just as fucking smart as the boys who get more screen time)
And Chris Knight totally gave Rodney a blowjob one night. It wasn't while they were in school together, because Rodney was 15 and all - but in like March of the year he graduated, Chris showed up and said "happy birthday" - even though Rodney been 18 for at least a month, and then pulled out a bottle of Tequila, and said that that he'd brought it because now Rodney was legal.
Rodney had laughed his (stupid) laugh (that Chris always seemed to like), and said it wasn't legal for him to drink for 3 more years, and then Chris said the tequila wasn't for Rodney, and cracked the bottle open and took a swig and then KISSED him, with his mouth tasting strange and hot, and after a little while Rodney was drunk from Tequila that came straight from Chris's mouth.
And then Chris pulled Rodney's pants open, and Rodney's never forgotten how it felt to have a hand as big as his own but not his on his cock, and how the stubble on Chris's face scratched his thigh. To this day he can't drink Tequila without getting a boner like he's still 18 years old.
In other news - the actor who played Mitch grew up to be kind of lean and tough looking. Which is quite weird, because he was SUCH a baby-face in that movie.
Obviously, I did not write the end of the Ronon & Kell that is part of the fics in the post below, and that I talked so tough about finishing right quick. But it's coming, baby. It's even breathing hard.
