That was very powerful and it was really fascinating to see Rodney at his 'take charge' best, as is so rarely seen in fiction, as opposed to canon when eh sometimes shines: this is why I love Hot Zone and Sanctuary, I suppose.
I would love to see the long-term effects of this situation and how their friendship will reflect or get past this after a few years, once they are past the instinctive reactions; the last part of the story hints at the way they get over this terrible state of affairs. So I suppose it is better to let it end there rather than be tempted by a deus ex machina miracle fixit solution...

As a writer, I think so. It's better to just put up some arrows indicating the direction things will go in the future than nail it down with too much detail. And for those that want to, they can decide that there was a deus ex machina miracle eventually, if they like.
Thank you for commenting. *giggles* I do love to traumatize, I guess.
