Summary: The unique thing about Event Horizon, and something Rodney was quite proud of, was that the store itself was a physical representation of the mind of its owner. The filing system that had so amused Sheppard served a greater purpose. The problem was that Rodney hadn't yet figured out just what that purpose was. He only knew that he liked things a certain way. If one took a moment to piece the filing system together, they would realize that it told the story of one man, perched behind his counter, trying to fend off the world.

Review: I discovered this fic long after the fandom had gotten quiet. There had been no announcement posts on livejournal so I basically stumbled on this fic, and was astonished it wasn't being rec'd anywhere. I love every moment of this fic. John and Rodney's first meeting is so entertaining, as is every subsequent meeting between the two. I really like the original characters the author uses. They feel like real, fleshed out people and are so interesting on their own. I really love the detail and thought the author put into Rodney's little bookshop, too - especially the organization. John and Rodney's relationship progresses nicely.

This is a well written, entertaining fic that never fails to make me happy. It's a quick read, too - even if 25000 seems like quite a bit (I know some people prefer shorter fics) it'll go by fast.
