Here via a rec list.

I missed your delightful story when it was first posted. I'm glad it got recced today.

I liked your reluctant action-hero!Rodney, but I was most entertained by the lengths he went to for donos bars. As someone who was never good at sports, it was fun to see Rodney outlasting his team, being cheered on, and winning at the end.

Thank you. :) And thanks for letting me know you found my story via rec. I always wonder how people find stories of mine that hadn't been posted so recently.

Donos bars... I know I would probably go to great lengths for them. *g*

I love these! They work so well, both individually and as a set. They have drama, humour and friendship blended together and I love how the first and fifth work like bookends to the set.

Nice example as well of how Rodney changed: he's still loud, complains constantly and could be the go that sunk Manhatten but that bravery he always had gets aired more often and he's component now with a gun.

Especially loved:

“He just had an epiphany.’
Ronon looked at him over his shoulder. “There’s usually more yelling.”
“Different kind of epiphany,”
