Sliding Scale is a Stargate Atlantis story by trinityofone.

The author describes it as a "McKay/Sheppard, McKay/Sheppard/OFC (sorta kinda)" story.

The author says this story "evolved out of a conversation about [the the comparative gayness of John and Rodney on isiscolo’s journal.]"

Reactions and Reviews

Why this must be read: A long (42,000 words) juicy tale of the team's (John, Rodney, and Teyla's) attempt to find Ford and bring him back. It's also a tale of being stranded on a planet together, full of lovely little details and interactions, and the way the author brings the three of them together into an intimate relationship is very well done and plausible. And hot. Way hot. *g* The use of multiple POVs is very effective here, and the characterizations are on target. I especially enjoyed Teyla in this; she is portrayed as smart, tough, and earthy. When this fic first came out I hesitated to read it, being a complete Sheppard/McKay girl, but I'm glad I did, because it's a beautiful story and has become one of my favorites. [1]

In this fic, John doesn't really like to share. Unfortunately, since nobody bothered to inform Rodney of this, mad hijinks can and will ensue when Rodney gets the brilliant idea of having a threesome. This fic could be included solely for the hilarious way in which John manages to pout throughout half of the story.[2]
