Warnings: SG-1 themed AU; original characters; whump
Disclaimer: Not mine. Never mine. ::poke poke::
Author's Notes: All hail L, queen of betas, long may she reign. This longassed thing is the result of National Novel Writing Month, unemployment, and my recip's request for plot. CA, this is probably more plot that you actually wanted, but I hope it meets your expectations. The title is from First Corinthians 13, a chapter better known for its ruminations on faith, hope and love.
Summary: When SG-4 is ambushed offworld, an injured Major John Sheppard must put his trust in a Tok'ra agent named McKay to survive. But what secrets is McKay keeping about his mission, the planet, and his own motives for helping John?

*hops up and down squeeing* Wow! I absolutely loved it, this is probably my best Christmas present this year! :D

Rodney as a Tok'ra host ... that was such a brilliant idea. I don't even know how to convey how much I adore your brain for coming up with that one. It was quite the ride and I loved the interactions between Rodney and John and the dream sequences between John and Kharoush were adoreable.

"Of course not," McKay said. "Most people can't get over the 'ick' reaction long enough to consider the benefits. But given the choice between Tanys or a life spent in a wheelchair, drinking through a tube and watching people like Malcolm Tunney and Peter Kavenaugh insult physics, while I couldn't even raise a hand to send them a particularly savage e-mail...well, what kind of a choice is that?" - This was so Rodney it made me laugh out loud and go "awww" all at the same time.

And this one I loved because it's exactly what I think about Jack sometimes:

Rodney's mouth feel open before O'Neill was entirely finished with this speech. While John's brain spun blankly, Kharoush said softly, I have decided I like this one.

I think he might be insane, John said.

But what glorious madness.

*hugs her santa* thank you sooooo much!

::bows:: I had so much fun writing this, and I was so worried about whether you'd like it! I'm not the only one who's written Tok'ra!Rodney, I know, but this plot bunny wouldn't leave me alone...
