This is completely effing awesome. It's got so much realism to it, and Rodney's struggle (and transformation) are painful to watch, but the fact that he's got John to be with him and take care of him and understand him -- at least to the best of John's abilities -- means so much. You can really tell how committed John is to Rodney here, and I love that.

I want to see them grow up and have things get better, darn it. *squints and pretends the Team Angst banner isn't there* :D

Probably won't though. Considering where they are, and what they're doing, and the time period.

This was very well written, and painful to read - as it was meant to be. Well done.

Oh, wow, I'm speechless; this is incredible.

Wow, this is just amazing. It's gritty and realistic, and they're so young. I really enjoyed this!

I've just read this for the third time today. It gets better every time.

This is brilliant. It so sad, but also very sweet.
