Fic search

[rita-blue.livejournal.com]

Hello, I'm looking for a genderbender fic, in which the team visits a planet, where gender equality is realized through experience; in other words, everyone has to go through a mandatory procedure of being 'the other' for some time, and switching is encouraged. As a friendship declaration to the planet's inhabitants, Sheppard gets caught up into changing gender, and the rest of the team follows (save Rodney, who's unable to undergo the procedure).

Later on, with that changed situation, there's a lot of deep portrayal of the characters. Sheppard is just 'holding on' stoically, and enters a relationship with Rodney; Rodney is trying to be nice, which spectacularly fails with Sheppard due to 'don't treat me like a girl' offense. Ronon quite enjoys the change, being able to defy the expectations (we learn some interesting details of about Ronon's past, which is quite moving). Teyla considers the change an abomination, and her kinsmen are of the same opinion and refuse to deal with her; it makes her even more unhappy, and easily offended, even aggressive.

I also remember it's a therapy fic - there's Heightmeyer's pov, and it's very insightful.

Sounds familiar to anyone? :)
