FIC: Oasis, by rebecca
Title: Oasis
Author: rebecca
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: NC-17
Summary: "The job comes first," Rodney said softly. He'd been the one to say that, back in the beginning, back when they'd thought this was just sex. The job came first. It had to. There was no room for error, no room to screw up because they were distracted. The job, and the appearance, came before everything else.
Spoilers: Takes place after McKay and Mrs. Miller and kind of splits off from the series at that point.
Notes: Two people deserve more thanks than I can possibly give for this story. amireal and fairestcat, who held my hand while I pounded out the initial draft, who talked me through innumerable rewrites, who convinced me that people would actually want to read this. This story would not exist in the first place if it were not for amireal, and it wouldn't be nearly as good if it were not for fairestcat, who took on the gargantuan task of beta'ing this monster.
Warnings: I believe in happy endings.
(Note: This story was originally posted about a week ago, but somehow I didn't post the announcement to this community.)
