First snow of the season/PIMP: Recovery by lit_gal
It's looking like a winter wonderland outside my window; it started snowing about two hours ago. They're predicting lovely 60-degree weather for the trick-or-treaters on Monday. Gotta love New England weather. ::snort::

And today, it was so nice, we went to Cambridge and walked around Harvard Square in short-sleeved shirts! That's New England for you...

Heh. Would I watch three eps in one night if I wasn't enjoying it? As Sheppard, Joe Finigan is charming, adorable, and dead sexy by turns, and David Hewlett is brilliant as McKay -- perfect comic timing! I'm not getting the "they're so doing it" vibes that I get with Jim/Blair, but I bet it wouldn't be too difficult for a good fanfic writer to convince me.
The hard part is avoiding the SGA fanfic until I catch up with canon (I've seen a bunch of spoiler warnings for the "Siege" arc, so I'm going to hold off on reading fic until I've watched those eps). But it's soooo tempting!

And as for not seeing the slash - what about Hide and Seek? By the third episode, McKay - very protective of his health and wellbeing McKay, who is obviously not a man who trusts easily - is letting John Sheppard shoot him, push him off a balcony and lord only knows what else, to test the personal shield? They got very close and pally rather quickly, methinks. And the look on John's face when he realised what Rodney was doing, walking into the energy creature? He was the first one down those stairs after it dispersed, very hands on, making sure Rodney was okay.
And in The Storm/The Eye - Kolya told John that Weir was dead, which means John was running all over Atlantis being a hero to save Rodney!
Aaaaaaaaand I'll stop now. But I have more! :D I blame kyrieane entirely. She totally corrupted me. *g*

OMG, I loved that! That's the scene that made me jump on the SGA bandwagon. I nearly fell off my couch LMAO when John looked at Weir with that smug smile and said "I shot 'im." But I saw that as "boys will be boys" buddy behavior, not slash. Honest!

OK, you've got me there (I had somehow forgotten about that scene); that definitely had slash vibes (I'd call it pre-slash, but obviously, your mileage varied). I bet there's more than a few fics that use that scene as the moment John realizes he has feelings for Rodney but doesn't know whether Rodney feels the same way... ;)

That got me wracking my brain because I can't think of more than maybe one or two that use that as the starting point for the relationship.
Wait until you see Rodney's reaction to Chaya. Blatant jealousy. *g*

Really? Is there a consensus about which moment in canon is the starting point?

OMG, I was rolling my eyes and snickering throughout that entire episode. Can we say UST? We sure can!
And how about John's reaction to Allina's flirtation with Rodney in "The Brotherhood"?
Gotta make myself an SGA icon...

Not really. Some fics have it starting pre-Atlantis, as we have no definite idea of how long it actually took to get the expedition ready to roll once they found the eighth symbol.
Others have them suddenly realising that all the snark and bitching and lack of respect for personal space was actually flirting and/or foreplay (that's pretty much accepted fandom-wide) and then they jump into the 'sex! at last!' scene.
There's also a wonderful 'Aliens Made Them Do It' cliche which has aliens forcing them to have sex as some sort of ritual/test/obligation etc, and once they get with the programme they wonder why they haven't been doing this all along. *g*

Yes! And the way John was right there at Rodney's elbow when he was trying to talk to her out in the fields? Such an obvious cock-blocking attempt. :D
Icon! Yes! definitely! :D
