SGA: Life in Little Canada (R), McKay/Sheppard.

[laytoncolt]

There are some people who enter a guy's life and screw it up forever. John Sheppard did this to Rodney McKay--not forever, but periodically.

I'm about to go on to part two, but I just wanted to tell you that this is marvelous. Totally, totally fabulous.

I'm in stitches. You've done a wonderful job of pulling together strands of the SGA universe and Stephanie Plum's universe. I'm in awe.

And the back and forth between John and Rodney is electric and totally brilliant.

And Daniel is called the Sphinx *g*

And Radek just rocks.

Right, off to part two now. Can't wait *g*

Thank you, hun! I always thought the Atlantis crew would fit in really well in the Plum world. ;-)

I've barely started the fic and I'm already trying hard not to laugh too loud cause I'm currently in my office at work. This has to be saved for after work reading so I can throroughly enjoy Rodney's spin on Stephanie Plum.

Love this.

Thank you! :-)

I just have to say how amused and horrified I am by your depiction of Little Canada. Mainly because how true it is. Though to be honest, the one person I know personally from there did not consider himself Canadian. lol But the flags and the "Minnesota nice" which is really all about being snoopy, and domineering mothers, and scandals over Twix bars...oh, yeah, you got that down. :-D

(Frankly, I'm surprised anyone else knows this place exists if not from the immediate area!)

Heh, thanks, hun! I don't know if you saw it, but I had a note apologizing to all of Little Canada for this story over on literal_sga. I stumbled on the website for the town and figured it would be the perfect Rodney equivalent of the Italian "Burg" in the book this was based on. I'm actually a little shocked to hear that I hit even anywhere near the mark of what it's actually like there. ;-)

Haha, I hadn't seen the note. Very funny. Well, the thing with MN is while we're incredibly diverse...we also manage to be completely the same. If you live there, you like cheese and sports, potlucks, Lutherans, and pretending to be Norweigan. Every one else moves the hell away as fast as they can. And while Little Canada itself has more crime than that, I can think of a few very tiny "villages" that are exactly the way you describe.

And yes, for the equivalent of an Italian burg, this works perfect. The only better place might be Eveleth (hockey hall of fame), but...it's not called Little Canada. LOL

*could ramble on about state for hours*

This is brilliant! Brilliant!! You've cast the SGA guys so well in this universe that I'm in stitches. Particularly this line:

"Hello, Mrs. Mills. Do you have a spare key for John's house? I'm supposed to water his plants while he's on the run from the police, but I lost my key."

Thank you! :-)

I've hardly stopped laughing since the beginning. I think I almost died, several times xD This is so, so brilliant.

Thank you! :-)
