McShep Match 2009 Fic: Except For A Few Small Bruises
I wrote a story! A college AU! For the WINNING Team War in mcshep_match. Since my story clocks in at 15,000 words, I am reposting here. Enjoy!
Except For A Few Small Bruises
Written for mcshep_match Team War
Prompt: Swan Song
McKay/Sheppard, R, 15,000 words
He'd been living like this long enough to know what being scared felt like, and yet this wasn't like any of that. Rodney hadn't wanted to know so that he could hurt John or laugh at him or pigeon hole him as the bratty rich boy. He'd wanted to know John, and John knew that if he could keep from running, he might finally be free.
Notes: Many, many thanks to cold_poet, who never fails to come through, and seemed to actually enjoy how rough the draft was that I sent her. *g* Thanks also to strangecobwebs and riverlight for reading through and letting me know that you thought I’d hit the mark. And to busaikko, for kicking me in the right direction when I needed it.
