SGA FIC: Out Of Bounds - John/Rodney - NC-17 (yes, I know it's been 50k words without sex)
Title: Out Of Bounds (the skating fic)
Author: Icarus
Rating: NC-17 (eventually, honest to god)
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: 'A death spiral is really a controlled crash -- oh, look at you light up.'
A/N: Thank you to perfica for playing OOB badminton with me, amothea for listening to me whine, teaphile for her birds eye view, and many tolerant readers during a week as frustrating (writing wise) as John's has been (skating wise). Note: I've learned that the Four Continents Championship did not exist yet in John and Rodney's time period, so I've invented a new competition, the America Cup. Nope, there's no such thing.
Previously in Out Of Bounds: Known more for his jumps than his artistry, figure skater John Sheppard hired ex-skating champion and 'artiste' Rodney McKay to be his coach. A teasing friendship (perhaps more?) developed between them, but John just learned that skating's gold medalist has pulled out of a competition: he might get that phone call inviting him to compete. Well, as long as the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th place skaters ahead of him remain injured/on honeymoon/retired. Bad news. While practicing his jumps behind Rodney's back, John spots the 5th place Christian Yong Suk ... not injured at all. John's not sulking, oh, no.
Two more parts:
'Ever notice how the figure skating community is completely incestuous?'
