A Farm in Iowa is a Stargate Atlantis John/Rodney story by sheafrotherdon. It's the first part in the A Farm in Iowa 'Verse series.

Summary: John inherits a farm, Rodney ends up entirely out of his element, and there is much ado about baseball. Completely AU

The story was podficced by librarychick 94 in 2013[1] and it inspired the story He Kissed Me First by Losyark in 2007.[2]

Reactions and Reviews

John moves into his grandfather's farm after leaving the military. Rodney's car happens to break down near by. And so begins one of the richest and most beloved AU 'verses in the fandom. It turns into a kidfic, btw. All I can say is read it, read it, read it.[3]

The idea to have John leave the military after some time in Antarctica, but before meeting O'Neill, just to move to a farm in Iowa he inherited from his grandfather may seem a bit odd, but in this case it really works. Since it's a slash story Rodney's car breaks down near John's farm, and a friendship starts to develop. This story is a delightful slowly building romance, fun to read, and has a great atmosphere with lots of vivid little details. (The whole 'verse is also on AO3.) [4]
