SGA FIC: Out Of Bounds - John/Rodney - NC-17 (I *swear*)

Get caught up here: Out Of Bounds.

Title: Out Of Bounds
Author: Icarus
Rating: NC-17 (I swear)
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: 'Ever notice how the figure skating community is completely incestuous?'
A/N: Thank you to perfica for playing OOB badminton with me, amothea for listening to me whine, teaphile for her birds eye view, and many tolerant readers during a week as frustrating (writing wise) as John's has been (skating wise). Note: I've learned that the Four Continents Championship did not exist yet John and Rodney's time period, so I've invented a new competition, the America Cup. No, there's no such thing.

Previously in Out Of Bounds: Known more for his jumps than his artistry, figure skater John Sheppard hired ex-skating champion and 'artiste' Rodney McKay to be his coach. A teasing friendship (perhaps more?) developed between them, but John just learned that skating's gold medalist has pulled out of a competition: he might get that phone call inviting him to compete. Well, as long as the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th place skaters ahead of him remain injured/on honeymoon/retired. Bad news. While practicing his jumps behind Rodney's back, John spots the 5th place Christian Yong Suk ... not injured at all.

Whoops. Sorry about the Streisand link. It's fixed now. So, what do you think? Which retaliatory Hendrix song was John playing when Rodney arrived?

ETA: Almost forgot perfica's suggestion -- This is a death spiral. (And here's the cartoon version.)
