ooooh. with... and the... and even the section titles are great, and there's so much going on between the scenes, and behind them as well, and, christ, I was angry at Sheppard, and... eee.
*bounces* Thank you! I'm so glad it worked for you!

Oh man, I'm glad that came across. It was tough--*I* knew everyone thought he was dead, and that John was all heartbroken and grieving in the background, and it was *really hard* to write Rodney learning to hate them.
This is a lovely story, and Rodney's pain and fear was very real here. I really liked the part where he was dissecting every interaction he had with people he trusted, trying to make sense of why they left him because it seems like such a logical thing to do in such a situation.
And I loved your portrayal of Sheppard here as well,in the hands of a writer who isn't careful in how every character is portrayed, Sheppard could of come off as unlikeable, but I felt just as much for him in the end.
Also, I'm a huge fan of your OC characters, I just reread Down to You, and I could see why Rodney trusted Jonah and he came off as very sympathetic as well.
And especially glad that Sheppard and Jonah both came out to be sympathetic characters. I was worried about that--Rodney's POV didn't exactly lend itself to showing how Sheppard and the rest had grieved when they thought Rodney was dead. And Jonah would have been far too easy to villianize.
*dances*
