Review:
On their first trip back to Earth, Rodney picks up a cushy consulting gig and John tails along for the free perks. Pity things don't go quite to plan.

I don't read much SGA fic these days, but I'm making my way through my old possible recs folder and came up with this fun first-time fic, full of action and humor and John in a speedo. It's a joint venture by Shalott (aka astolat) and Speranza, so you know it's well-written and the characters are vividly drawn. Mix in some some light-hearted relationship sorta-angst (seriously, I almost gave this a 'fluff' tag), John and Rodney being treated to lots of exotic and upscale goodies, and an action-packed climax and you have a light but very enjoyable and satisfying read.

AKA, the "my mathematician" one. :D I love this story so much! It hits so many of my kinks, like wealthy-but-not-caring-about-it!Rodney, mistaken-for-an-escort!John, the whole James Bond finale. So, so awesome!

And it also hits my current kinks: not-an-AU and featuring-people-who-are-actually-happy. Good times all around:)

That was very cute. Umm. And yeah, I found it enjoyable fluffy. :)

It doesn't *sound* like a fluffy fic when you describe it, but it really, really is:)
