Mckay and Sheppard snark. It's what they do. Adding 'Aliens made us get married for trade purposes' (which, er, is actually quite feasible and encouraged, because it induces immense amounts of snark and team members taking the piss out the pair) and on top of that, aphrodisiacs, is all well and good. As is denial after sex and freaking out. Twice. And Mckay pointing out that Sheppard's been flirting with him for months. All of this is well and good and should be encouraged.
HOWEVER. At the end of the fic, there was suddenly 'sex means I love you' and sobbing and 'oh my god you complete me' and WEEPING. Weeping. For god's sake, did you suddenly transplant their personalities for the last four paragraphs? How you go from snark, denial, and not one single solitary thought about angst or attraction to 'you complete me' is fucking beyond me.

Holy Commiserations, Batman!

Grab a coffee, some ultra-strength Night Nurse, my Heathers icon and cooooome join the daily bitch-roast HELL.
No, you won't 'get used to it'. None of the rational, the sane, the ones who've actually watched the prog for more than 3 minutes, do.

Prob is most of the supremely lovey-dovey shitfic comes from a cabal of dimwits who're in the process of jumping ship from SG-1. They have a system of 'u r wrong' fangirls who'll come out of the woodwork if you pop up with a polite 'er... NO! step away from the keyboard, dipshit and go watch some episodes'. So telling 'em most of the time ain't going to work.
Though, from a personal mental-health POV, chewing 'em various new ones is quite theapeutic.
