- adding this here because I wanted to write it but that hasn't happened yet and I'm not sure if it will.
Short version: John's dad, instead of dying almost dies. His family decides they must all get together for Christmas in response. Rodney offers to go with John. Everyone thinks they're dating (spoiler: they aren't, but then they are)
Longer version (feel free to ignore if the above is enough to spark your muse... these are just the extra notes I have...)
John gets a family summons... (his dad didn't die, just had a health scare, so now they're doing a big family Christmas reunion ) And it heavily implies that if he hasn't found someone to share his life with by now his father will arrange soemthing..
Rodney walks into John's room without knocking (as he does), and asks whats wrong.
What Rodney hears is that John needs moral support. He says he'll just go with John and help him fend off his family. They can't be as bad as the wraith.
What John hears is that Rodney will pretend to be his bf so his family lays off.
So they go, and John is slightly more touchy feely than usual (only slightly cos he already touches Rodney a lot)
Rodney thinks John is putting the moves on him. John thinks Rodney is pretending.
All John's relatives assume they're pretending before they even get a chance to say anything
When Rodney hears this, he's just like, whatever... And ignores it
John thinks Rodney is a particularly good pretend bf
But see... the thing is... Rodney's never thought of guys like that before- for some reason it never occurred to him that he could... And now that John's touching and kissing him... he realises he can have the whole romantic relationship thing with *John* another guy. Who isn't trying to change him.
Rodney is very enthusiastic in his reponses.
John pines over Rodney the perfect pretend bf.
Until soemthing happens and John gets put out of his misery by finding out Rodney wasn't pretending (maybe when Rodney actually marries him...)
Also for some reason the muse has decided that John needs to have a Great Aunt Edith... Who pinched his cheeks, asks totally inappropriate questions about his relationship with Rodney, and 'subtly' tries to get John and Patrick and Dave to make up .. those stubborn Sheppard men
Rodney, of course, adores her. She's as blunt as he is!
