Si Muovo is a John/Rodney SGA AU co-written by Kass and Sihaya Black, set in Kodiak, Alaska, in which Rodney is a Jesuit priest and John is a bush pilot.[1]
Summary:Episode tag for "Quarantine," S4 x 13. "You mean aside from spending all day thinking I was dying of some dread disease, and the city trying to kill us and very nearly alerting the Wraith to our location, and my getting trapped in a botany lab without a single computer during what was arguably the biggest crisis we've faced this week?"
Although priest fetish is a known kink,[2] the story's aim is not to play to that kink, but to explore the intersection of religion and science through the person of a Jesuit Rodney McKay.
Though the story was critiqued [3] for flaws in its portrayal of Jesuit practice, it was generally well-received within the fandom.
Reactions and Reviews
I was quite surprised when I first read that Rodney was a priest. But I soon suspended my disbelief, for it worked quite well. This is still the Rodney we know, but a bit mellowed, a bit more restrained. The plot was well paced, not too wacky, but possible in the Stargate universe. Being raised catholic it's always a bit difficult for me to believe in most characterizations of religious characters, but here the authors manage to depict faith, and religiousness, and church in a very believable manner. Yes, there are a few things that aren't quite right, but the core of it shines through very clearly. Very respectful, but not over the top, I can believe in it, in those characters and their faith. And this is, at least for me, that make this story special.[4]
