Why This Must Be Read: it's Earth Christmastime, but on Atlantis it's mid-summer and the Australians have organized a barbeque. This is one of Mandysbitch's sweeter stories in which the boys get tipsy and end up in bed. It's hot and steamy, a nice slice-of-life, and soft-centered. Lovely writing, and a feelgood ending.
"You know, Colonel," Rodney says. "If you’re ever on Earth and it’s Christmas and you have no one to spend it with – you should spend it with me."
"I should, huh?" John tries to imagine Christmas with Rodney. Ebenezer Scrooge comes to mind. "Why?"
Rodney stands up, shrugs. "Well, because we have so much in common, of course."
John grins. An endearing Ebenezer Scrooge, admittedly. "Okay," he says. "You and me. Christmas – some time in the future. It’s a date."
"It is?" Rodney looks oddly vulnerable, like he’s just been complimented without solicitation.
It obviously doesn’t happen enough. Which is a shame, John thinks, because Rodney is weirdly cute when his guard is down. "Yeah," John says.
Rodney studies John for a moment. "I’m not too drunk to kiss you, you know."
