Why This Must Be Read: Blackchaps has the dubious honour of igniting my passion for this ship in Sacrifices Made which has some serious UST between McKay and Caldwell while remaining a McShep fic. It probably helps that I've had a crush on Mitch Pileggi since I was 12. So, when I saw that they had an actual, honest to goodness slash fic for the pairing I was immediately enthralled. And it's so good. I mean, it's a post-TrinityTM fic, how could it not be?

I always liked the way Caldwell stood up for McKay during the Arcturus thing and I've always hated the way everyone else treated him after it so fics, where one character stands up to the rest or is actually there for Rodney, are like catnip to me. This is an especially good one with Rodney getting some distance from Atlantis and building his confidence back up while getting naked and sweaty on the Daedalus with Caldwell.

And, John pulls his head out of his ass eventually so it's happy endings all around!


The week passed in a blur of sex and MRE’s, or that was how it felt to Rodney. He had no recollection if he accomplished any more upgrades. All he did was work, eat, and roll around on Caldwell’s bed, trying to orgasm and succeeding magnificently.

When Earth came into sight, Rodney wanted to protest, but Caldwell brushed Rodney’s hand in passing, and Rodney forgot everything but hopping into bed again. It was disgraceful, and he enjoyed every minute of it.

“Are we staying on board or going Earthside?” Rodney asked when his brain started working again.

Caldwell stopped flicking his tongue over Rodney’s nipple and kissed him. “Both, and I like the sound of ‘we.’”

“You are possessive.” Rodney wiggled around enough to bite Caldwell on his perfect ass for the first time. Caldwell practically flailed off the bed and then came at him with a gleam in his eye. Rodney grinned toothily, determined to give as good as he got, but he didn’t mind failing at this one thing.
