Happy birthday, Out Of Bounds.

Two years ago today I wrote: "You know you've been watching too much of the Olympics when...

I now want to read an SGA AU where John's a skater and Rodney's either ajudge or his coach. *facepalm* My humiliation knows no bounds."

It was a ficlet, I swear.

I don't know whether to be embarrassed that it's taken me two years to get this far, or proud that I've stuck with it (re: obsessed over it) for 100,000 words and an ocean of reserach. Either way, there must be a nice, long update. (Hopefully another tomorrow, too.)

And there must be cake.


Title: Out Of Bounds
Author: Icarus
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: John eyed the new pile as if it were an escaped rodent.
A/N: Thank you to my intrepid (and overworked) betas, dossier and rabidfan. Thank you to libitina and roaringmice for inside intel and spywork at Skate America. Special thanks to sarka for all the help with Czech history and language. Some of you may recognize a section I incorporated into this part. *shrugs* What can I say? The scene before it worked after all.

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. John struggled to recover from his injury, having temporarily moved to Rodney's. Unfortunately, recovery took longer than planned. Hitting the end of his savings and not able to work yet, John accepted Rodney's offer to stay longer and gave up his apartment.
