Brief summary:

A fabulous, smutty bit McKay/Weir hurt/comfort. While back on earth after the Siege, Rodney gets some difficult news, made all the more upsetting for the fact that it's six months old, and the only number he can think to call is Elizabeth. It starts with a death, but this is very much a story about life and renewal and the need for connection. wisdomeagle's prose is simple yet evocative, sketching out Rodney's pain and his relationship with Elizabeth in just a few tight sentences that nevertheless convey a world of emotion.

Brief summary:

A lovely McKay/Weir first time story, set just post-The Storm/The Eye. Rodney behaves differently with Elizabeth than with anyone else we see him interact with. He still argues and pushes boundaries, but there's an undercurrent of respect and almost reverence in the way he behaves towards her that is quite unusual for him. But Elizabeth is different around Rodney too, even when she's chastizing him, there's a rich undercurrent of respect and care. khohen1 captures both sides of their relationship beautifully to create a perfect aftermath for the events of The Storm/The Eye.
