Ships that I Ship: Day 136: McKay/Zelenka

[coprime]

Canon: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Rodney McKay/Radek Zelenka
Canon Level: Colleagues

The thing that makes Radek and Rodney so fun together is that Radek is one of the few people who can actually understand Rodney on a technical level. And he's not afraid to stand up to Rodney. McKay's brilliant, but I feel like someone challenging him in the areas of his expertise for reasons of scientific discovery can only lead to good things. And I think Radek would also enjoy the challenge of working with Rodney and after they solve whatever problem they were working on, they can relax and commiserate together.

You know, I was just about to comment to say how much I liked Rodney/Radek -- I like how they work off each other, how they challenge each other to do better and share so much in common -- and then I saw my own fic listed there. :D!

Haha, yes! It's a really cute story because I can totally see one or both of them getting distracted during sex due to science.
