Why This Must Be Read:
Designer Rodney McKay loses a model shortly before the launch of his next collection, and guess who he sees working on a construction site right outside his windows?
Can you imagine Rodney McKay as a world renown fashion designer? Using all his frenetic energy and snark to command a troupe of catwalk models?
Can you imagine John Sheppard as a model…? Oh yes… so can I.
Put them together and you have this lighthearted story from Orithain and Rina
Excerpt:
"You could always pick an unknown," Laura Cadman, one of his models, chuckled from the next window, where she was watching the construction as well... or at least the construction workers. "Personally, I’d be willing to sit up and beg for some of those guys."

"Oh dear, Rodney’s thinking; we’re in trouble."

"According to whom?"
"You when you looked at last month’s cover!"
Elizabeth smothered a laugh.
Rodney sniffed and glanced back at the women. "That was because last month’s cover was a side of beef; Radek, back me up here!"
"He would have looked better hanging from a meat hook," Radek agreed. "Bulky beef isn’t my idea of appealing. Though that one’s not bad, for a man," he said, leaning closer to the window.
"Which one?" Elizabeth asked, leaning closer.
"The one with the hair," Rodney’s comment was a statement, not a question.
"The only one who doesn’t look like he’s on steroids," Katie Brown murmured.
"The one I watch while having lunch!" Laura laughed.
"He seems to be of a similar size to Aiden," Radek mused.
"Stay here," Rodney commanded as he turned and stomped out of the studio and down the stairs to the street.
