Summary: John implements a plan that just might be the trick to saving Rodney from an unwanted Ascension.

Author's Notes: An alternate interpretation of Sheppard & McKay's second meditation session from 3x14's Tao of Rodney (with a few lines lifted from the ep). Title from Jack Johnson's great, unrelated tune News.

It's crazy, but another year of Romancing McShep has come and gone. I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who participated. The Box of Chocolate entries,* the great collection of posts to the AO3 community, and to you, the readers.

Every year, I think this show went off the air in 2009. Is anyone still interested in Romancing McShep? Every year, you say -- YES. McShep belongs to us now, and we're going to romance the hell of it.

You can find the 2025 AO3 collection Here

The collection never really closes. If more stories should happen to slip in...*whistles innocently*

*The folks who made the chocolates possible:

Summary: Rodney's not happy that he's been assigned Cadman for the Secret Santa exchange. John's not happy that Rodney won't let him sleep.
...
John blinked several times, running his hand through his disheveled hair. Rodney’s late night visits had become all too common recently, as though John’s quarters were somehow both of theirs, and distance or propriety didn’t at all matter. Which was strange because John was fairly sure—or at least somewhat sure—that they weren’t in that kind of a relationship.
