Five Ways Keller lost McKay to Sheppardrachel500September 3 2011, 19:45:44 UTC
A/N: McKeller and implied McShep. AU.
And The Winner Is...
1.Before the Starting Gun
Jennifer’s about to invite Rodney for a drink but before she can, Colonel Sheppard enters - John, she corrects herself; he keeps telling her to call him John.
John apparently has the same plan for Rodney, inviting him for a beer, and although he invites her along, she can see his worry and concern for his friend etched on his face. She declines brightly and heads back to her own quarters. A bubble bath and a cool glass of wine will more than make up for her thwarted plans with Rodney.
2.The Back StraightJennifer wipes her eyes and turns off the computer monitor. She has to stop playing the video of Rodney telling her he loves her. Whatever Rodney feels for her, he was sick and she has to let it go, no matter how intrigued she has been by the Rodney evoked by the parasite. Jennifer shakes herself briskly and goes to check on her patient

i.
When Rodney and the rest of the team get back from a mission to PX3-446, Jennifer is waiting in the gateroom with the on-call medics.
Sheppard radioed in a medical assistance code with his IDC and Jennifer has needle and thread, gauze and antiseptic, at the ready. When they come through the gate, Teyla is hopping on one leg, supported on either side by Ronon and Sheppard. They settle her on the waiting stretcher and Jennifer cuts off Teyla's pant leg to have a proper look.
"I saved your life again," Sheppard says to Rodney, smugly teasing, propping his P-90 against his shoulder.
Rodney scoffs. "Please, I've saved your life with science five times as often as you've saved me with that hunk of metal," he says, but his eyes shine with contradictory gratitude, trust, affection.
It's not a competition, Jennifer tells herself, wrapping a bandage around Teyla's leg, but she can't get rid of that feeling of loss

Nice "list" - and I like the conclusion very much. Sheppard's lips quirk up and Jennifer feels suddenly redundant. Sheppard has been taking care of Rodney since before she ever met either of them

Oh, I adored this. All they ways a person can lose someone. I liked that you kept it Keller/McKay. I think that was a nice touch. And I loved, loved, loved number five. Because I think that you're exactly right. Jennifer could go back to Earth in a way Rodney never could. Well done.
