Brief summary:

In theory Rodney McKay's life looks very different then it does in practice. I love the format of this story; each contrast between fantasy and reality is tightly drawn and offers a pointed insight into McKay's character. [livejournal.com profile] isicolo's prose is razor-sharp, each word perfectly chosen for maximum effect. The result is a short but intense story that really gets inside the mind of Rodney McKay.

Title: The Last of the Winnebagoes

Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary:

Neither of them really wants to retire, but they’re turning into the Statler and Waldorf of Atlantis, bitching at everybody from a balcony.

That's just such a perfect image of the aged John and Rodney, still snarking at everyone and each other, even as they're shuffled increasingly to the sidelines, obsolete in a galaxy they've come to call home. [livejournal.com profile] trinityofone recreates the bittersweet feel of the Connie Willis short story from which she takes her title, but tempers it with a tenderness that's all her own, for a perfect understated gem of a story.
