Title: "Sign On The Dotted Line"
Author:

helenkacan / Helena K.
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, past Jennifer Keller/Rodney McKay
Rating: T (contains a couple of swear words)
Genre: Friends to Lovers
Word Count: 3,714 words
Summary: When a man decides to change his status, he expects there will be some repercussions in his life. But Rodney had never expected this roller-coaster of a ride, simply because he signed his name.

Takes place in a perennial S6 (of our hearts and minds) with Atlantis back in Pegasus and a more relaxed, though still efficient, Richard Woolsey as its civilian head.
Disclaimer: Not mine, even though I close my eyes and clap my hands really, REALLY well.
Notes: Prompt 112 from Romancing McShep 2016, posting day 8. John Sheppard needs a next of kin for his paperwork and Rodney McKay is it. Never mind that Rodney is engaged to someone else.

Science geekery: I was really tempted to get into how the pupbots worked ... but then pinched myself because this story is about human beings (who just happen to have discovered one of the best kept secrets on Atlantis)!
