FIC: Junk Cheap (SGA) Sheppard/McKay (R), by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Summary: If you were thinking you'd love to read an AU where Rodney is a college professor and John owns a junk shop, this is the story for you.
Pairing: Sheppard/McKay
Rating: R
Spoilers: There's a small one for "Sunday" in here, but since this story is an AU, if you don't know what the spoiler is, you might not even realize it's a spoiler.
I saw this on the Newsletter last night, and figured I'd give it a go, as my default setting is to read *everything* (well, all right, everything that's McKay/Sheppard - I don't bother with the *het* or anything :P ). It was quite late, the rest of the newsletter's contents hadn't been anything to write home about (indeed, it was mostly the sort of stuff where I read one line, go "oh lord no", and hit the back button), but I figured hey, why not. Then I read the summary, which made me laugh.
This turned out to be the first time of many.
The basic premise is that Sam Carter, University Professor, gets hit by a car one day and has to take a few months off from teaching. Rodney is brought in to take over her classes for a semester, and the University fix him up with an apartment for the duration of his stay. A crummy, crumbling place in a building full of "senior citizens" who want him to carry their shopping up flights of stairs, etc. John is his downstairs neighbour, and the only other person in the building under 65.
Awesomeness ensues.
It's not plot-driven, but there is a little bit of underlying plot, and the characterisation and dialogue were absolutely spot on, imo. I went to bed last night (far later than intended) with a huge grin on my face after I finished it.
And in case my recommendation isn't enough to convince you, it so far has five pages worth of comments.
So, go, try it. You might just like it.
