This is awesome! Rodney is such a great friend. I bet that he would do anything to protect Sheppard.

Thank you and I think they would do anything for each other as well,any core memembers of the team :D

That was chilling to read. I thought that John had done something unforgivable to Rodney first, but the actual turn of events are even worse. Poor broken boys.

Great graphic too.

I thought that John had done something unforgivable to Rodney first,

Heh...yeah I wanted to have that mis-direction and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, ouch. But brilliant, too.

Sorry I wasn't around when you pinged me!

Thank you...the idea popped in my head when we got the theme. No problem at IM it was one of those crazy times.

Mmm, dark, but fascinating moral choices. What's worse, the murder of innocents that wasn't your choice, or the murder of the guilty that was? But oh, boys. They need each other now, worse than ever, and good that Rodney's finally going to him.

Wonderful art, too, very fitting to the story.

What's worse, the murder of innocents that wasn't your choice, or the murder of the guilty that was?

Poor guys, both unwilling victims of a loss of control which was my theme, but yes a terrible situation. But as you said Rodney is going to John now and they'll stumble through things.

Thank you.

Gorgeously done. The words hit like an emotional gutpunch, and the image captures it all beautifully. The colors are lovely, and the expressions on their faces perfect.

kristen999 September 21 2008, 00:03:14 UTC

Thank you--this was huge emotional hit to the psyche, but I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
