okay you - just so you know - are killing me! this will probably be incoherent babbling because really, I think between the double dose yesterday and the double dose today my brain is just about overflowing (in the best possible way)
First, you damn near broke my heart with the third Rodney and John. I could just imagine Rodney all broken and quietly defiant to protect John and John locked away and helpless to do anything to save his Rodney. (seriously, I've been crying so much at work I think they're getting ready to send me to therapy) The one really bright spot was that Ford had somehow survive. I also really liked our Rodney seeing another instance of a version of he and John together. And Dr. Sheppard! For a minute there I thought you were going to let he and the General die...
He knew just how much Rodney hated it when people were injured or killed – he'd seen the scientist deal with that enough times to know how much it devastated him whenever it happened – but Rodney's eyes were now oddly vulnerable, in a naked way that John wasn't sure he'd ever seen before. *huge wibble*
"Yeah," John sighed ruefully. "That over there is the love of my life," and they both burst out laughing. I loved this moment. I could just see Lizzie trying to take it all in.
Rodney shrivelled up inside at the thought of anyone on Atlantis knowing he was head over heels in love with Colonel Sheppard. He was sure they'd laugh at him, take him less seriously, maybe even be disgusted by such a relationship - and he didn't think he could bear that. you hit the nail on the head with this. it's totally how I see Rodney. he's so damn afraid of failing or being rejected...it just makes me think that he must have suffered a lot of humiliation as a child.
Rodney Sheppard was lying there, pale-faced, attached to a dozen different monitors, and beside him, huddled awkwardly on the small bed, was the General, his arms clasped gently around the other Rodney's still, frail form. damn you, I teared up again when I read that. I'm really glad that you explained the life-bonding issue and process as well.
and can I say that I love Matchmaker!Carson nearly as much as Toppy!Carson
Then he looked down on Rodney and their eyes met. "Don't fight me," John warned him, and Rodney's eyes widened as he realised at last what John intended to do. I've made it through nearly an entire box of tissue with this series. Just so you know.
