This is great--horribly wrenching, but great. Rodney's grief at the beginning about killed me.

This Is The Comment That Never Ends.... Apparently. hoktauri August 29 2011, 02:50:22 UTC

I really had to read this twice before commenting, because it made me want to take my time with it.

The first thing I want to salute is the style. Every sentence held weight and had purpose. Your writing is so lovely and evocative, and you handled the more tender moments between John and Rodney with breathtaking skill.

Second, the TEAM! Teyla coming to sit with Rodney and bringing tea, Ronon snuggling beside Rodney and talking about Satedan poetry, and then the fact that they had been planning on Rodney figuring it out and going out for a "rescue"/reversal. Wow. The team just really came together on this one, and I also loved how they had Important Things To Do when the Forte Contentia (Infinite Improbability Drive!) was going into overload, how Rodney needed them throughout the entire story. ^__ ( ... )

Gut-wrenchingly good, because the details you use to convey John's tangible presence (and absence) are so vivid, the repetition of loss and rediscovery is is intense without being overdone, and the ways in which Rodney and John come together--verbally, physically and within the plot line(s)--are well-considered and in-character. Having John imply rather than state at the end that he would choose Rodney over the 'good of the many' was an effective choice.
