Hey baby you're just my style!

Well done sweetie, I love it, I am still smiling. *G*

[melagan]

Thanks sweetie. I had such fun with this.

Oh this was so sweet and so Rodney! LOL

[melagan]

Poor Rodney, overthinking things again. Lucky he's got John to keep him on track. :)

OMG! I can see this happening! I appreciate Rodney as a character and everything that makes him, him is in this fic. I was grinning from the opening line, chuckling as Rodney got more and more flustered with his overthinking. I could hear John's voice over the radio as if it was in my ear. Perfect dialogue and talented building of anticipation and heat.

My favourite bit that culminated all the above...

"Rodney. Just ask," John said, softly.

I'm certain you write these two like this all the time, but since I almost never read McShep, I'll just say WELL DONE, M'DEAR, WELL DONE INDEED! :D

[melagan]

Thank you!

I just write what the boys tell me to. *firm nod*

I'm certain you write these two like this all the time

She does, she really does! melagan always seems to capture the essence of these guys, I'm in awe of her talent :) (Or maybe the boys just love talking to her :D)

And I love you for reading stories outside your OTP ^_^ That's actually really inspiring to me, so thank you *hugs*

[wings128]

I'd go with a mix of the two ;D
It happens rarely, but I thought in this case, being a leap year *chuckles* I'd make an exception. *hugs*

I'm revoking your cancelling privileges. *bg* But I think it it's the fourth time Rodney is changing his mind, John is right to say something like that. *g*
I really like the fact that there are two "things" they are talking about. *g*

"Rodney. Just ask," John said, softly.
Oh yes, I can totally hear John saying that!

Very nice story!

[melagan]

Aw, I'm wicked glad you enjoyed it.

"I've been practicing. This will be the best proposal in the history of, crap, I need pants on if I'm going to get down on one knee. Where the hell are my pants?"

"Rodney. Just ask," John said, softly.
I probably would end up quoting back every single paragraph, but I love the frantic Rodneyness juxtaposted against John's fond acceptance of all of Rodney's idiosyncracies.

Thank you for making my morning so fuzzy!
