What a great character piece! This was a delightful read! You didn't happen to write one from Rodney's POV that I missed did you? Straight to my favorites this one is going!

Thank you! I don't do remixes of my own stuff, I'm way too close to it to try. But I think Rodney would say some people are complete idiots to get captured mere inches from the gate, and make other people lose their minds from worry, especially when they saw the first picture the stupid guard had taken-somehow the moron had managed to flip the camera into black and white mode, making the subject look even more stark and lost-looking and just...just if someone would not be so careless with themselves, and at the same time be more careless when it came to some things, when it came to-for God's sake, he looked completely trapped behind those bars, the same look that was always on his face whenever Rodney tried to corner him into talking, and that was just so-

Rodney fingered the note and snorted. Maybe if someone was willing to try, Rodney could try not to.

Once the idiot was home, and safe.

Eeeee, I love this. For itself, and because it made me read Solitary again, which I adore so so so much. I love how Rodney comes through so vividly in John's thoughts, and here in his own as well.

Oh, aw. Thank you, sweets!
