SGA Fic Rec - "Scimitar of Saladin" by Commodore Norrington (Rodney McKay childhood fic)
I just read "Scimitar of Saladin" by Commodore Norrington and it's simply the best Rodney childhood story I've read for quite some time. Vague spoilers for Season 3 episode "McKay and Mrs. Miller" but a very interesting and moving look into the beginning of his education, not quite as you might expect.
