Why this must be read:
"Wait, wait a second," John said, sounding totally baffled. "Are you trying to dump me?"
Rodney stopped, annoyed. "Well, I'm sorry if it's a new experience for you!"
John sputtered, "That's not -- we aren't -- I didn't even -- " He still sounded outraged more than anything.
"And it's not that I don't want to!" Rodney said. "It's just -- Look, chances are this was not our last near-death experience, and it's bad enough trying to get past the inevitable panic attacks and hysteria when it's just my near-death experience I'm freaking out over, without having to worry about someone I -- someone I -- really care about."
John's mouth was standing open, and he shut it, then he opened it again and shut it again, and finally said, faintly, " -- really care about?"
Rodney rolled his eyes. "No, I'll just let anyone who comes by my room have me for the price of a bottle of vodka," he said. Then he had an attack of honesty and added, "Well, I mean, probably I would, if they were hot. But that's not the point. The point is, I just can't. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but I've hit the ceiling on stress as it is, and I'm going to, um, go get something to eat now," backing towards the door, because he didn't really trust himself not to cave if John pushed much harder.
"Really care about?" John repeated, still sounding dazed.
Rodney fled.
astolat is definitely a multitalented lady and i'm pretty sure that she's been recommended all to heck and back here on crackvan. she's got a good number of Stargate: Atlantis fics and this happens to be my favorite, though I recommend all of them. this story rolls along relentlessly, just like Rodney does, so that you feel everything John feels: bewildered, turned-on, and rushed.
Also, the sex is hottttt.
