Altered State


“This isn’t, this can’t, this can’t be happening!” Rodney wails, his hands flailing in the air.

“Well, McKay, I think you’ll see that it has, in fact, happened,” John replies calmly. He figures he has a choice, stay calm or freak out, and since Rodney has the freak out covered, he’d better stay calm.

“What did I do to deserve this? What? What could I have possibly…” Rodney starts in on what John is sure will be a 10 minute rant, so he cuts him off at the pass.

“You did say that Grand High Priestess Liala had an awesome rack and an ass you’d like to…”

Rodney waves his hands around even more frantically. “All right, all right. I’m a pig. Okay? But she wasn’t even in the room! How was I supposed to know she could hear me? That doesn’t give her the right to, to…” Rodney gestures down at his body.

“Turn you into a girl?” John supplies when it looks like Rodney won’t be able to say the words. Rodney looks at him, his eyes wide with panic. “At least you’re kind of cute,” John says, trying to make the best of it.

“I…what?” Rodney snaps out. “Really?” And he touches his face. “Cute? Huh.”

Rodney is more than cute. He’s stunning. His eyelashes have gotten longer, his skin paler, his lips fuller, and his hair has gotten thicker. And somehow, during the switch, all of the excess padding on Rodney’s male body shifted to all the right places and is now accentuating the curves of his breasts and hips. Curves that John tears his eyes away from before Rodney catches him. Ronon, however, does catch him, and smirks at him. John can feel himself blushing. He’s saved from further embarrassment when Teyla arrives. After Rodney’s faux pas, the priestesses refused to speak to any of the men in their party and retreated into their compound.

“The Grand One suggests that you consider it a learning experience rather than a punishment, Dr. McKay. She also says that in six cycles you may return and she will reverse the procedure.” Teyla is the picture of serenity; except for the slight quirk at one corner of her mouth, which belies her amusement.

“Six cycles? What is that? Six hours? Days?” Rodney asks hopefully.

“Six cycles of the moon,” Teyla responds.

“Months! I have to stay like this for six months?” Rodney exclaims. His eyes get wider and wider as he fumbles for words, his skin first flushing, and then going very pale.

“Rodney, calm down, you’re going to give yourself an aneurism,” John says, reaching out to put a hand on Rodney’s arm, just as Rodney’s eyes roll back into his head and he pitches forward into John’s arms.

For all that it has shifted around in very pleasant ways; Rodney has lost none of his bulk and still outweighs John by a fair bit, and John stumbles when the dead weight lands on him. He looks over at Ronon, his arms full of Rodney, hyperaware of the fact that there is nothing more between his chest and Rodney’s breasts than two layers of thin t-shirt, and he yelps, “A little help here!”

Still grinning, like this is the best joke in the world, Ronon stalks over and scoops Rodney out of John’s arms, cradling him against his chest. John straightens up and says, “All right, let’s go. Let’s get him back before he wakes up.”
