Why This Must Be Read:The Summary says "After John Sheppard settles in his new apartment, the last thing he expected - or wanted - was a roommate. When Rodney appears claiming the place is his, he assumes there's been a misunderstanding... until Rodney disappears just as mysteriously as he had appeared."
I absolutely adore AU stories based around some of my favourite Chick Flicks and this one is the SGA version of the Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo movie Just Like Heaven.
Ronon looked at John a moment longer as John popped the beer open and didn’t avoid Ronon’s eyes. Ronon took off his SFPD badge and his gun and left them over the kitchen table. “You’re lucky I’m not on duty,” said Ronon as he went to the fridge and grabbed a beer, popping it open. “I still think you need to change all this.”
John nodded. “Yeah, I’m not going to do it tonight, at my first night in this place, so…”
Ronon nodded. “Movie,” he said as they moved to the couch. Ronon grabbed the remote control from John’s hands, ignoring the half-hearted ‘hey!’ from him. They watched the end of Empire Strikes Back and then started flipping through channels
Crap, crap, women’s channel, crap, news, cooking show, crap, - oh, movie.
John’s answer was almost immediate. “No,” he said.
Ronon sighed. “Are you ever going to start watching war movies again? I still watch Third Watch reruns, you know?”
John grinned; Ronon’s addiction to that show was one of the oddest things ever. “I know, it’s just… my mind starts overanalyzing what I did wrong, how -”
“You did nothing wrong,” said Ronon, voice stern yet somehow tired. “You tried to save Mitch. There was nothing wrong in that.”
John waved his beer at the TV. “Just - find something else.”

John stretched his neck. He looked at his watch - 2:03 am.
John was bored now that Ronon had left. The man wasn’t the chattiest person there ever existed, but he had a way to entertain John, bring him a bit out of his stupor. He felt a bit more drained now that Ronon was gone.
He should crash but he wasn’t sleepy. He was bored of the TV. He didn’t feel like logging to the internet. He poked around the apartment again, but the owner had evidently moved off any evidence of his existence - a few receipts left behind, a book or two.
John went back to the fridge, grabbed a Bud and popped it open on his way to the couch again. He drank and settled back on the couch, mindlessly watching the TV.
A voice rang behind him. “What are you doing here?”
