Why This Must Be Read: This is easily the most intimate, the most beautiful, the most intriguing standalone stories that exists in the SGA fandom. It breaks your heart in places, makes your blood run cold in others. It is about a makeshift confessional area on Atlantis that the Expedition members use, though anonymously. And even if the SGA wants it removed, Atlantis herself has a say in keeping it there.
But mostly it's a love story between John and Rodney. Secrets shared, secrets held. Utterly beautiful. And though I've seen this requested on sgastoryfinders before, I don't see it recced here under either "slash" or "Sheppard/McKay".
Rodney realized he wasn’t alone precisely three seconds before he was grabbed-he was pressed firmly but carefully against the wall. “What the…”
“Shh.” Lips brushed against his ear lobe. “I’ve spent the last three days trying to figure out who wrote it-hoping it was you but just knowing it wasn’t.”
Rodney relaxed. “John.”
“Don’t take it back, Rodney. I couldn’t… no one has ever wanted to keep me. At least no one outside of weird alien chieftains intent on using me as breeding stock.”
“Who wouldn’t want you forever?”
