As you know, I have been waiting for the punishment since Rodney told John he hadn't excercised, and you didn't disappoint. It was great! Rodney crying was moving; you never think of him crying and I loved how you wrote it. I also liked that you made John not want to give the punishment, but it's something that he had to do.

I'm really glad that you're getting into McKay's head as he realizes his feelings for John. You already wrote what John was feeling as he transitioned from friend to something more and I'm glad that we can see how Rodney is coping with the change. Anyway, love it and can't wait til the next part!
