Wow, that was awesome! Heartwrenching but also sweet, thanks!

zabbers July 3 2006, 21:41:40 UTC

Thanks! Hehe, I love to pull the heart strings.

That really hurt. You leave a little bit of hope for Rodney, but not much. Thanks for sharing.

zabbers July 3 2006, 21:42:16 UTC

Juuust enough. ;-).

This house, on the wrong beach, overlooking the wrong ocean, made him seem like just another guy spending his vacation somewhere warm and sunny.

Oh, I like that line v. much.

Poor boys. Please tell me Rodney comes out of it!

zabbers July 3 2006, 21:44:21 UTC

It's funny...I have this whole story in my mind and this is just a part of it, so, well, I can't exactly say Rodney gets out of it, but I can't really leave them broken, now can I?

Oh that is so sweet and so sad. Poor John, it must be hell thinking he might have left some of Rodney behind in the Dart, and Rodney, what an end for someone whose mind was so cherished.

They are still together though - He’s stuck in this, this limbo, and I’m stuck there with him. -

Thank you for this.

I know! It's Rodney's most important part! At least, it is to him. John, now, he equally values his blue eyes, his crooked mouth, his arms, his beautiful ass... Sadly, without the mind, it's just not the same. It didn't even occur to me at first that that was what I was doing, taking away the one thing that he sees as the best aspect of him.

waaaah! *is actually crying* <- which is probably a compliment to how well this is written.

oh god, make it better, please? :(

zabbers July 3 2006, 21:53:13 UTC

Aww, oh no, I made you cry! (By the way, your fic 'Pounce'? Was one of the first ones I ever read, and I really loved it. So hot.) It may get better. They're still breathing, after all.

lavvyan July 4 2006, 05:58:21 UTC

can i trade you something for a sequel? can be a short one? *offers hopefully*

zabbers July 7 2006, 07:25:14 UTC

I'll try but fic just kinda...happens to me, with little ability to control it on my part, so it may languish in my WIP drawer like the dino fic and myriad others...
