Why This Must Be Read: This is a fusion with Howl's Moving Castle, but the author cleverly twists events and mixes in Stargate Atlantis details. Rodney McKay doubles as the Wizard Mer, who lives in the moving city of Atlantis with only the City for company. After a wraith attacks John's base, John ends up on Atlantis and agrees to give his heart to the City for safe-keeping. But more and more wraith are waking up and it's a race to find a way to defeat them, when nobody really knows how Ancient technology works. I love the plot of this and I'm a huge fan of the way the author writes John and Rodney's relationship. They grow and become friends, and once the romance starts it's sweet and hot. There's drama and angst and humor, all well-written. Such a joy to read!
John’s awakening was rude in more ways than one.
“Hey, you,” a voice that seemed strangely familiar barked at him. Something butted against his ribs. “What the hell do you think you’re doing in here?”
John cracked his left eye open and sure enough, that was the face of Rodney McKay, glaring down at him as though he was a personal insult. Not quite sure how to deal with that information, he let his eye slip shut again.
“Rodney,” the city scolded. “He was sleeping.”
“Exactly! He was sleeping right there! On the floor! Why is there a strange man sleeping on the - hey, hey, hey, you’re that guy! From that town even the whalers thought was too depressing. Major... something. Sheppard?”
“Would you stop shouting if I told you yes?” John mumbled.
“No! No, I won’t, that doesn’t change the fact that - hey, you knew that he was here?” McKay turned to the glass painting where the city’s eyes were currently watching him solemnly.
“Of course. I let him in,” the city said. “It was an emergency. He was in trouble.”
“You can’t just lead any lowlife that happens to pass by to our doorstep because you feel sorry for them! Uh. Saving your presence, of course, Major.”
“None taken,” John said, somewhat on general principle.
