Oh, that's interesting! John as a victim. Very interesting fic! Thanks for sharing.

I really like Rodney's reaction to this - I'm glad for John that he has him.

This sentence was really beautiful:
Then suddenly, John watched her fade away and the rose smell slid into the smell of dry markers, metal, and the ocean.

Thank you. I thought Rodney would either go punch something or blow something up. :)

Thanks. I'd been avoiding describing how Rodney smelled just so I could have that sentence. :D

Ok, that was powerful. I really like the way you handled the issue. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for commenting. I'm glad you liked how I handled it. It was easy to write John's team, but hard to write John. Thank you for reading.

I liked this story a lot: I love how your John is a victim but also a survivor.

Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you liked it. I always try to write the victim as a survivor because that is hope to me.

Wow, this was amazing! You really captured the emotions well. And I like how you had Rodney handle it.

Thank you! My first thought was to have Rodney freakout right then, but after thinking about it for a while I decided that it was IC for him to retreat, regroup, then corner John, and that'd work better overall.

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for reading.
