I totally agree with Kitestringer about Keller. Chris is just naturally agressive, and although I can see him easily enjoying the bottom role, because he's just into sex, I can also see him needing to be in control. It just makes sense.
At the beginning, all the people writing McShep were writing McKay as the bottom, but once his character began to grow and become more complex, more and more writers wrote McKay topping. And I can see the arguments for McKay, but I don't necessarily prefer him in one position or the other. As a character, personally, I prefer John to McKay, but that doesn't influence me a whole lot.
I love Power Games, and think they're even more interesting when the expected dynamic is reversed. So I really like to see the one you would think of as the more dominant partner as the bottom, just because it's not what you would expect, so it's different and more exotic. For instance, I love to see Jack as a bottom to Daniel on SG-1. But there are exceptions to that rule. I prefer to see Chris Keller as a top. And on NCIS, I definitely see Gibbs topping DiNozzo, and Gibbs is most definitely the Alpha in that relationship.
Since Ronon showed up on SGA, I've become quite a fan of his. So at the moment, my SGA OTP is John/Ronon. But despite his size and skill as a fighter, I really like seeing Ronon as the bottom in that relationship. Actually, I really like the idea of Ronon being into Power Games, and taking a sub role, and having to almost force John into the Dom role, because I can see John as having a little trouble with that role to begin with. As a matter of fact, as soon as I get through with the forty-million fic I already have promised to write, that particular fic is on my list of what to write next! (Sigh...we're talking way down the line, here...)
