He took a breath and added, "This is Dr. Rodney McKay. I wouldn't want to be confused with the legions of other employees who hate you." / He snapped his phone closed, feeling marginally better. / Radek made a worried face. "I really do not think you should have done that." / Rodney snorted a laugh. "What's he going to do? Fire me?"

Rodney tells Santa what he wants for Christmas. Twenty years later, he finally gets it.

"A boyfriend. He doesn't have to be as smart as me, because who is really, but not some stupid oaf, either. I'd like him to be cute, of course. And he should appreciate what a good catch I am. That's the most important part."

John is Rodney's 20 year late Christmas present.

Summary: Rodney tells Santa what he wants for Christmas. Twenty years later, he finally gets it.

"So what would you like Santa to bring you, young man?" the old pervert inquired. Rodney darted a glance over at Brett, who was still guffawing with the morons. He lowered his voice and dared to ask Santa for what he really wanted, "A boyfriend. He doesn't have to be as smart as me, because who is really, but not some stupid oaf, either. I'd like him to be cute, of course. And he should appreciate what a good catch I am. That's the most important part." Santa gave him a speculative look. "I'll need some time." Rodney frowned. Was Santa supposed to negotiate? "How much time?" "One boyfriend," Santa promised. "Delivered on or before Christmas 2008."

Rodney asks Santa for a boyfriend for Christmas, and twenty years later he gets John. Very sweet, Christmas fic.

As the host of a popular TV show, The Hunter, Spencer could have anyone he wanted. He was famous. On his show, he traveled to archaeological sites around the world, finding treasure and, as he said, "making archaeology accessible to the public." He'd majored in archaeology in college; Brendon always connected it back to Spencer's obsession with dinosaurs and mummies as a kid.

But, looking at the way Spencer smiled at him, the way Spencer held his hand, it was hard not to think that it was. Continues Part Two.
