SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Okay, now that that's done with. *g* Can I just say how happy i am to see a McBeck from you?

This is wonderful. The way you've captured Carson's personality and the real and valid reasons why John feels he can't be with Rodney. The way Carson described his type.

In some theoretical gay romance novel, the kiss would have been perfect and the slow slide to lovemaking would have been without tentative questions about who would be in what position, awkward elbows, stubborn condom packages, and embarrassed laughter. They would have climaxed together amidst cries of eternal devition. Reality was better than that, because it was a real flesh and blood man who shared his bed that night.

Nice! This struck me alot because it's how i see Carson and Rodney together. They can be real with each other,warts and all, and still have a relationship in spite of, or because of it. Fantastic job. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[sgatlantislight]

Thanks! Yeah, I liked that paragraph, too.

But I couldn't avoid the angst of having poor unrequited John watching them enviously from the sidelines, even if it did make it safe for them to be friends again.

[dark_cygnet]

Aw, poor John. ::cuddles him:: Soon he'll realize it's different in the Pegasus galaxy (at least in my brain) and find happiness with Radek. There ya go!

[sgatlantislight]

Oh, sure. John/Radek... Would be an interesting pairing...

[porntestpilot]

*sigh* Twas good, but now I'm depressed. I need to go write some obnxious fluff. *ponders*

[sgatlantislight]

Sad for John, eh?

Mebbe you should go write pr0n instead of fluff... ;>

[porntestpilot]

Yes, I am sad for John. He should be all happy and porned out.

Or maybe I write John has broken ankle fic. Yes.

[sgatlantislight]

Should I ask? Nono. I'll not ask. I'll just watch for it.

*sighs happily* Poor Shep. But aawww... loved this. McBeck was my first pairing in this fandom, and it's still one of my favourite. Thanks for sharing.

[sgatlantislight]

Thanks! It is a good pairing. I probably like it was well as McShep. It's just that Broken kinda got me on a McShep roll.

[noctuabunda]

It's just that Broken kinda got me on a McShep roll.
...which, in your case, is incredibly fortunate. Because Broken is good. Very very good.

[sgatlantislight]

Thanks. Just so long as it stops eating my brain... ;>

[akimi_hime]

AW! *squee* Their love is so canon. I like the ending, too.

[sgatlantislight]

Thanks! I kinda liked the idea of it being Carson and Rodney getting together that finally fixed things with John.

oh man, again you with the hot and the angst...and YAY for Rodney and Carson, but poor poor John. I don't guess there's a chance of this evolving into a threesome? *pokes*

[sgatlantislight]

Surely you're not thinking I should develop yet *another* series?... ;>

[lillyjk]

*pokes again*

Carson/Rodney/John are my OT3, and poor poor John certainly needs to be included in things *wibbles*

[sgatlantislight]

*Snickers* Ah, well. I'll think about it.

Obviously, what we need to do is have a challenge-- starting with this fic, write the next chapter, pairing John up with, well, whoever you want as long as you keep Rodney and Carson together.
