Title: MVP (74k) Author: Speranza Pairing: Sheppard/McKay Postcard: here Summary: "All right, all right, nothing to see here," he heard Sheppard say. "You've seen one giant snake, you've seen 'em all."
Bloody damn hell woman you ROCK!!!! This was an AMAZING story. I haven't READ a John so completely on track with my own view of him before, it was really a little bit scary! And totally gripping adventure, HOT sex, *kinky* hot sex, tons of fantastic humour, and I LOVE the huge misunderstanding that gets them together, and that this is only incidental to (and a distraction from) the main plot, so that by the time it ends, they've gone from first-time to well established relationship. Phew!!
And there were so many 'best bits' that I couldn't possibly list them all here, so yeah, just all around excellent fic :) Beautifully written too, and easy to read, which is a good thing, as I was racing through it on an adrenaline surge *G*
Now that's two of your stories I've adored, so I'm going to DEVOUR everything else you've ever written! Kudos };=8)
Oh, one question though -- what does 'MVP' actually mean?
Belatedly replying, though no less grateful!! I'm glad this John accords with your own: he does seem to always be pushing in front in a not entirely healthy way: first man in, last man out.
(I'm laughing a little at the "devour everything you've ever written" line, cause , uh, I've been at this pretty solidly for nine years now. So um, take breaths or whatever. *G*)
MVP is a pretty common sports term: it's "most valuable player." Someone is usually tagged MVP of a particular game, or a particular season--it's the person who did the most to contribute to the win that match, or that season.
What a hero complex he has *G* I see John very much as the kind of guy who would do well in charge of a small team, but the burden of a full command (and all the paperwork!) has got to suck. Same for O'Neill, the life was sucked out of him in that SGC desk job, I thought. John was made for rushing around, doing things, going far and fast and high - and people are so bowled over by that approach that they forget to look below the surface and realise that there is so much more to him.
Heh, I actually only meant everything you've written in *SGA* 'cause I'm that great rarity, a monogamous fangirl (!) but I'm sure there's lots of that too and it will keep me happily occupied for years myself; I don't read very often, to be honest, and I like to take the cream of the crop so as not to waste time ;)
Ahhh, an Americanism, hadn't heard of that term before. Thanks! I'd wondered if it was military parlance. Makes sense for John to use that *G*
