John/Rodney

[emeraldsword.livejournal.com]

OK, this has been bugging me for several days now, and I've tried Googling various keywords, hunting through recs lists and also previous searches on the community. The fact that I can practically recite this story makes my inability to find it even more infuriating!

John and Rodney are sharing a sleeping bag offworld for some reason - I think they're in a cave and I think it's because of the cold. It's Rodney's POV and he can't stop wriggling because he's turned on. Sheppard gives him a hand job to make him stay still, but won't let Rodney reciprocate. Later (and I think this is the same story...) the two take a jumper offworld through an orbital gate, and it breaks (breaking ancient technology is one of the themes, and yes I did check all the stories on the Crossroads fic index). Rodney tries to fix it and I think John makes a pass at him but either Rodney doesn't get it or refuses to to reciprocate because John gets huffy, the jumper starts working again and they go home. Later, Rodney realises that the thing the malfunctions have in common is John, and asks John "Did you just try to park with me?" Then there's sex.

Can anybody help? I'm fairly sure that both bits are the same story, but if they're not, well, either one would be nice! thanks in advance!
