Why This Must Be Read: This month I'm doing AUs where either John or Rodney is a different sex, or is transgender. This short fic is also a complete AU set at university. John has an unfortunate hook up with a trans guy which he doesn't handle well, and his friends persuade him to go to a class about gay guys having sex with trans men. Which is taught by (grad student, blond) Rodney. It's not a long story, just a vignette of the start of their relationship but it's nicely done, even if John is incredibly ignorant and initially inclined to put his foot in his mouth. But the more trans rep out there, the better.
John is just taking the first drink of his coffee when Evan snorts ruefully beside him and pushes aside a bright pink flier, tapping the advertisement beneath it and deadpanning, "Well, I think we just found John's weekend plans."
For a beat John just stares at the flier, forgetting to swallow his coffee, which is scalding the fuck out of his tongue. The flier is just plain white paper, black print, nothing fancy or attention grabbing. It doesn't need to be. The text is enough to grab all kinds of attention on its own.
Teyla says, "Breathe, John," and he swallows his coffee, coughing a little bit on it. He can feel his ears burning, can easily picture how red they must be, and fights down the blush with limited success. On John's other side, Evan is trying to disguise the fact that he's snickering into his hand.
John looks at the flier again, almost against his will. He's distantly surprised that the bookstore even allowed it to be put up, because âCunts for Fags' isn't really anywhere close to the kind of language he'd always thought of as appropriate for a family store. Then again, maybe the managers just hadn't noticed, or something. John reaches out, and pulls the pink flier back over it.
Evan nudges John in the shoulder, sipping at his coffee and grinning when he says, "Come on, that's just the kind of thing you need. Remember Larry?"
