In a world where scientists are slaves, John and Rodney find themselves up against society, tradition, expectations, and each other. John is determined to change the system, and Rodney is by degrees, flummoxed, confused, furious, curious, courageous, and a trifle snotty.
Every relationship between a master and his body servant is different. Body servants take care of the house, assist their master's work, or even provide sexual services in some cases. But falling in love is unheard of for them, and through the years, John Sheppard and his master, Rodney McKay, struggle with the roles that the strict rules of Atlantia impose on them.
John Sheppard is an ambitious law student who takes Patent Law to make himself know to the professor in the hopes of scoring a position in the professors law firm. Rodney McKay is an attorney and an adjunct professor (J.D., PhD's Mechanical Engineering and Astrophysics) who teaches John's class. John smirks, Rodney berates students and they fall in love.
