The Holiday by A_Storm_of_Roses | 16k, e, mcshep
John Sheppard, California Park Ranger, needs to get away. He loves his job, his small cabin in the woods, but sometimes the holiday season gets to be a little too much. Rodney McKay, Head of Research and Innovation, needs to unplug. His work is his life, and the beachside mansion he lives in is nothing more than a place to rest his head.
