This was written as comment fic in a [livejournal.com profile] yin_again's journal and, as appearances from my muses have been scarcer than hens' teeth, I figured I'd better make that flash of inspiration count. So here it is. :D

Author: darkhavens
Title: How SG-1 Found Out About Rodney's Tattoo
Pairing: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Prompt: #040 - Drink - in my [livejournal.com profile] slash_100 Big Damn McShep Table
Rating: PG
Words: 253
Spoilers: Tiny passing mention of events in 3x04.
Feedback/Concrit: darkhavens @ slashverse.com
Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be. No harm, no foul, no money made.
Summary: Rodney spends some time at the SGC and shares a little more than he planned to.
Notes: In answer to the 'Five Things' meme, [livejournal.com profile] yin_again wrote several sets, including one entitled 'Five ways SG-1 folk figure out that John's claimed Rodney for himself (whether Rodney knows it or not)'. #3 was a tattoo. A bunny bit.



Although Rodney has developed a tolerance for Russian vodka (the stuff you can actually use as rocket fuel in a pinch), Radek's most potent and unnervingly bluish brew, and can down Athosian ale like it's water and drink his body weight in whisky without passing out or throwing up even once, he has a teeny tiny problem with rum - two shots and he's a very friendly drunk, and he completely loses what few filters he usually has in place between his over-active brain and his equally active mouth.

To be fair, he hadn't meant to flash the tattoo. He was actually trying to show off his arrow scar while telling the heroic tale of 'How we saved Ronon from the hunt - again', but his pants slipped a little bit lower than he meant them to and there it was in all its glory.

Someone noticed, of course. He did try to lie, but Sam was there (and there's a point there where he kinda freaked out because Samantha Carter was looking at his ass!) and she could read enough to be able to figure out that it said 'Property of John Sheppard' in tiny Ancient glyphs in a neat little ring around a colourful Naquadah molecule.

Rodney wakes up the next morning, half on top of John, with absolutely no memory of anything past the second round of 'thank God we're still alive' drinks in Sam's lab, but with an impending sense of doom that he knows better than to ignore.

Ha! That was my 'Five Things' that yin answered! *pets the bunny* Nice!

*feeds the bunny* Prequel?!? C'mon, how did John get that tattoo on Rodney's ass? Was it before or after they started sleeping together? Hrm?

Poor Rodney. He dosen't have enough filters in place to begin with -- he really shouldn't be doing anything to damage them further. ;-)

Of course it would be Sam who noticed. Poor Rodney...he really shouldn't drink the whisky. On the other hand, you have to ask what the hell John did so that Rodney wasn't bitching about the needle on his ass during the tattooing...or afterward.

LOL! You so need to tell the story of the getting of the tat. And John's reaction to it becoming public knowledge. *g*

*snerk* I'd love to know how he got the tattoo in the first place as well, but this stands on it's own so very well! Thank you for writing it!

If you give me the structure of the Naquadah, and allow me to botch the glyphs, or give me a sample, I'll draw the tatt for you. . .
What can I say, I like the story and your description of the alcohol was very sweet.

this fic is funny :D I agree with cleito a prequel about the tattoo would be nice. pretty please :D

Wow! Thanks. :D

Naquadah doesn't exist so finding a diagram of the structure? not gonna happen. So I decided to fake it. *g* (I'm not even going to tell you how many pages I had open of chemical compounds, molecule diagrams, periodic tables etc etc). This is the kind of thing I'm thinking of - nice and colourful, but not too complicated. ;)

As for the glyphs - there's a set here for public viewing and a downloadable font here (http://www.omniglot.com/writing/ancients.htm). (I used it in my header!)

BWA-HAHAHAAAA!!!

It was a wonderful idea for a list of five things! And Yin's answers were of course bunnificent. ;)

I think I might be able to come up with a prequel at some point. I want to know how John got Rodney to go through with it and what exactly it cost him. *g*

I'm pretty sure it was after they started sleeping together, though I wouldn't put it past John to promise something extra special, sexually speaking, to get rodney to agree. :P

Thanks! And there's a possible prequel brewing as I type. John can be very persuasive when he wants something. *g*

So true! And I'm sure he'll never touch rum again - until the next time. *g*

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm sure Rodney could recognise the feeling of impending doom in his sleep, but he usually has at least a clue why. *g*
