Why This Must Be Read: This series will be well known, and this fic’s a favourite of mine. An AU where John’s a cop and he’s Rodney’s hot neighbor. John is divorced, and has intermittent access to his son, so it’s also kidfic - very well handled and realistic. The writing’s engaging and fresh - it carries you along so beware, the story can be hard to put down. There’s plenty of plot, and stagate elements are gradually introduced. And of course the developing friendship between John and Rodney. The second work in the series was abandoned after 4 chapters, but it’s still a good read - and this one’s complete at 20 chapters. Very engaging, and I highly recommend it.
Rodney’d stalked him, just a little bit. It took him a little while to puzzle out the odd hours, but finally he saw Hot Neighbor leaving the house in a cop uniform and figured it out. He wore the uniform fairly often, often enough that Rodney’s sort-of guilty fantasy that it was a stripper costume vanished. He also dressed in a random assortment of clothes in his downtime, with tightish jeans and really nerdy t-shirts appearing with mouth-watering frequency (including a gorgeous HAN SHOT FIRST specimen). His hair never changed, though— it stood up crazily in random directions with astonishing consistency, varying slightly in intensity and degree but never significantly in form.
He mostly didn’t notice Rodney watching him out of the front window as he went by. Rodney had sort of expected that now that he didn’t live in the middle of ass-nowhere he’d probably revert to heterosexuality, freed from the constraints of situational and somewhat-desperate homosexuality brought on by no social life apart from overwhelmingly male lab partners. But there was no doubt he was completely smitten with Hot Neighbor. And maybe, in normal civilian life, away from such constraints, well… maybe, Rodney was realizing, maybe he was actually genuinely non-desperation-dependently gay, as it happened. OK, bi; he still nearly got whiplash at least once a day when a pretty girl went by. Or a… reasonable girl. Or just a really busty girl. Or a girl with a particularly cute haircut. Okay he really really wasn’t used to girls anymore.
Shit, he never really had been.
And yet. And yet! Hot Neighbor eclipsed them all. The lips, the throat, the narrow waist and slim hips, the lanky grace, the sarcastic eyebrow… the nerdy t-shirts. (Another one appeared the second week: REPUBLICANS FOR VOLDEMORT, done up like a real campaign sign in stars and stripes. Rodney bit his lip and actually whimpered out loud.)
