The sex was amazing, I really do love it when John needs Rodney *that* much, it's so intense, and amazingly hot! I like that we got to see the very first time John got affected this way, we went through this in G&DS and once again I now see that scene slightly differently now that I've seen this. Back in G&DS it came across more as a frenzied need to re-claim Rodney back from the native who had marked/touched him, and I'm fairly sure that, that is still a large part of what it is, but in this scene I saw more. I get the feeling that John actually *needs* to re-claim Rodney, that there is some deep part of him that wells up from within and takes control of his senses and he can't refocus until he makes that connection with Rodney. I love this connection that they have, it makes me feel so safe knowing that nothing and nobody is going to come along and break these two apart, they're totally united as one and it's pretty awesome!

I love that Rodney didn't panic with John, he seemed to know exactly what to do, and he was so comforting and giving, and...Yes! Rodney finally said the 'L' word. :)

Can't get enough of possessive!John.

"Get your damn hands off him!" he snarled, grabbing hold of Carson and throwing him back against the wall.

This sent a shiver of delight down my spine, I absolutely love seeing this side of John... I know I shouldn't... I mean poor Carson an' all... but he wasn't hurt too bad... and... well, you know, (sing-song voice) po-ssess-ive John. ;)

Absolutely loved Rodney being all proud over his actions (and rightly so too, I much preferred your version to the show)... I loved how he told Carson how brave and noble he was and how he could have died and Carson's responses, and neither of them were aware of the pressure cooker moment building up just a few short feet from them re: John. I know I say this a lot but it was very well written, just the sort of thing I can see being played out on screen.

Loved the scene with Rodney and Miko, loved that he didn't know how to bow properly and gave it his best shot before bolting for the door, and I love that Miko is still besotted with Rodney in this universe, even if it is more on a cerebral level... I'm sure that Rodney's brain is very attractive. ;)

Love the Cosmo stuff, that was a crack-up. Just cannot picture Dr Rodney McKay reading Cosmo. :D

Loved Jealous!Rodney. Fair's fair I suppose, he's not going to want Hicks or anyone else sniffing around John anymore than John wants Bates or anyone else sniffing around Rodney. It was fun seeing Rodney going all Alpha-sub on Hicks. :D

This was a great chapter. Loved it so much!
