Rodney saving John's life,and neither of them talking about it. John freaking out under the stairs. Teyla calling for Rodney whilst she was being wheeled to the infirmary. Ronon soothing Rodney. John being banished offworld whilst they moved his things without his knowledge.

All these little moments make this story so wonderful.

Also you gave them together forever and that is HOT!!

Thank you.

Thank you for the lovely feedback.

This was really stunningly simple. I liked how we followed through John's eyes as each of them changed in ways he couldn't control. And that he changed too, but didn't really see it. And that they ended up together as a family at the end was perfect. The changes were startling but still somehow in character.

Thank you. I had the idea for the scenes and had to let the connections happen as I wrote, but they were there. Thing with John is he'd rather be tortured and shot than self reflect, and doubly so to admit to doing it and he'd totally fall into a four way marriage without seeing it coming.

Plot, characterisation, pace....all = spot on.*

Masterpiece.

More, please.

This is totally going in my memories. For some reason, the image of John watching Rodney and Sam in the swimming pool is very vivid in my mind, but my favorite part is John envying the rest of them for being comfortable together, still not getting that they just moved him in with them, that he's part of that comfortableness.
