Summary: Sam thinks up a more fitting punishment for McKay after '48 Hours.'
Link: Irony
Why This Must Be Read: This is set in the universe we see in SGA's "McKay and Mrs Miller". We see through Sam's eyes how Rodney became Rod and it's both heartbreaking and heartwarming as Sam is torn between thinking that it's good for Rodney and that it's awful for Rodney. It was a very emotional story for me to read and I hope you all enjoy it as well.
Sam wonders if anyone knows, if anyone notices, that McKay doesn't smile the way he used to. Yes, he no longer fixes everyone with a cocky-arrogant-asshole smirk, but neither does his face light up in the joy of discovery; the wide blue discs of his eyes don't reflect awe and wonder when the wormhole whooshes into being, equally blue, before them. No, McKay's smile is friendly and polite and very, very distant-even forced, like he's using a surplus of muscles to make it happen, like his smile takes all the effort of a frown.
She wonders if anyone knows, if McKay even consciously knows, that he's stopped flirting with her. That this thing that she is finally willing to recognize was there between them, is gone.
