With the strange restrictions the inhabitants of Atlantis placed on expressing their body’s needs, Ronon had been careful how he related to the people he worked with.

I like the outsider's perspective on Earth ways.

I'm glad you liked it. Writing Ronon was at first a bit strange, because I mostly read McShep stories. I got the idea after watching a few season 1 episodes where the Athosians were viewed as a potential threat/weakness for Atlantis.

Have a nice christmas

I felt strangely saddened for Ronon's loss but equally appreciative of the length John would go to, to stake his claim on Rodney. At least Ronon recognized that Rodney loved John.

Hmm, yes. I actually wanted to end it on a somewhat lighter note, but got stuck with this ending. Every time I tried to re-write it, it simply felt wrong.
On the other hand, I decided that I had two other parts to write (so this story will actually fit in as the middle part) in which there will be someone for Ronon, too. And he seems to be the type to value the friendship of both Rodney and John enough that it might lessen the sadness over the loss of Rodney as a lover. Thanks for reading and commenting, and I really do plan on finding a beta reader soon.

I wish you a happy new year

This was really excellent. I loved the way you moved smoothley from what was going on in Ronon's mind to what John was thinking. The ending itself left me with the feeling that everything would work out the way John wanted it.

Thanks, it's always nice to know that readers percieve the story the way I intended it to be. I wasn't quite sure at first if I should leave John's part in there, but thought the ending would be a bit too sad without it. After all it was a christmas gift and I try not to depress people if I can help it and I simply love happy endings :-)

I will post a revised version of the story, including two more parts as soon as I've finished them, and I'm looking forward to any future comments on it.
have a nice day and enjoy the new episodes

Excellent fic. The glimpses of what Rodney and Ronon shared were hot and I liked Ronon's pov of said relationship and his perceptions of Earth's strange regulations, his friends' feelings for each other and his feelings of loss when first they had to leave Atlantis and then he realised what he'd let go with his negligence. I'm glad he wasn't so upset that he would risk losing his friendship with John and Rodney.

As for John, loved his alpha-male possessiveness. Very very hot, but the love shone through too. I could really see him doing something like that, knowing that Ronon would need to *see* it, that words alone wouldn't be enough to completely enure that there would be no attempt to move in on Rodney. Having said that though, although he was very calculating, I don't feel he was doing it to be cruel to Ronon, more to ensure harmony, to make sure Ronon stayed and they didn't lose their friend and to make sure they both knew the boundaries of that friendship. Nicely done.

Laura.

Thank you kindly. Yes, I think John could be very possessive should he ever be in a serious relationship with someone. And his actions were meant to let Ronon know without challenging him in an outright way that Rodney was his. I don't think either Ronon nor Sheppard are the kind of men who talk overly much about their feelings and therefore needed something to give the story closure without downplaying Ronon's feelings for Rodney. After what we saw of him in recent episodes I think it fits him very well, accepting what can't be changed. And he is the kind of man to value friendship and honor highly therefore he wouldn't want to lose Rodney and/or John as friends and vice versa.

Again, thanks for reviewing and have a nice evening

That was guh. I felt so badly for Ronon. The silent acknowledgment in the mess between Ronon & Sheppard seemed like Ronon really did get it so what Sheppard did in the supply room seemed a little cruel. Human, but -. I wonder how Rodney would feel about that.

Thank you for the read. It was kind of melancholy and I like melancholy.
