mary_russell11. She wanted John/younger Rodney and all the implications of their relationship...as long as it ended in hot sex.
Title: Sweetheart Deal
Pairing: John/young!Rodney
Rating: NC-17
Words: ~ 15,000
Warnings/Spoilers: This is younger Rodney and John at his age in Atlantis, so AU for that, but the story takes place in Atlantis after the beginning of S4 so I'd say some vague spoilers for the first part of S4
Legal: I own nothing
Thanks: I had a lot of wonderful help with this fic - many thanks to the lovely
perfica for her awesome help with science and technical questions, to
gaffsie for being my guinea pig, and lastly to
lavvyan for the beta, for shoring me up when I needed it, for her keen mind and for just generally being awesome. I couldn't have done this without her.
AN: Even though I had lots of help, I obsessively self-edited afterward so any and all remaining mistakes are down to me. Also, the title is a vague wave at Aimee Mann's song, The Moth; however, there is a blatant nod to the song in the fic and if you know it, I'm sure you'll be able to spot it. It's so cheesy to say a song inspired you, but that song did inspire the central theme of the fic, particularly the line, nothing fuels a good flirtation like need and anger and desperation.
Summary: For just a moment, John let himself remember how it felt to be young and cocky, full of himself and wanting something out of his reach.
