Thank you. It was interesting to play it out, and to think about the who/why/what/how of the 20 years between splashing down in SF bay and this story. I won't write the rest of it. I don't think I could, but I'm flattered you'd want to read it.

Thank you. That is very high praise.

I've invested too much in civilizing you.

That is what always bothers me about Jennifer Keller; maybe after 20 years Rodney can get along better with people around him but she had to change him... doesn't mean it's necessarily for the better.

Although I do want to whap John upside the head for abandoning Rodney and taking Rodney's choices away from him. By just disappearing, John doesn't let Rodney decide who he really want to be with. Good for Rodney for not giving up and making his own decision.

And Pegasus is hard.... we all like to pretend they come back and live happily ever after but after all they've been through, an illness of this type shouldn't be surprising.

Nicely done..... even if you did make me sniffle a bit for Rodney was almost too late...

At the risk of TMI, one of my least-proud moments was when I realized I was very like McKay. My partner of 20 years has been a moderating influence to my asshole tendencies. He didn't change me, but being around him helped smooth out my more rough edges. Now I'm slightly more like to have actually meant to be an asshole, rather than unthinkingly been a jerk.

And yes, dope slaps all 'round.

I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for a terrific comment.
