Rodney's pale beneath the dimmed infirmary lights, grey with fatigue, the skin beneath his eyes shadowed with pain. John watches as he sleeps, Rodney's profile overlaid by a faint, jagged replay of the ambush they'd survived, livid with all the color John's memory can supple in sharp, bitter contrast to the sterility of hospital white. There's a bruise on Rodney's wrist, another on his jaw, and beneath the standard-issue, pale green scrubs John knows there are three ragged scars, souvenir of a surgeon's hands gone fishing for bullets, nurses deftly sewing up flesh ( ... )

Ohhhhh I love the little touches John does allow himself - rests a wrist on the bed and lets the very tips of his fingers touch Rodney's hand and gently rubs the sore spots on his hands, the tendons tight on the inside of his arms - and then, oh Rodney, knowing right where he belongs, going where he's needed and telling John what he needs to hear, asdfasdflksdj oh boys. *squashes them together*

!!!!!!! Much love.

I'm so in awe of people that can paint such a lovely picture in so few words! Nice job, I loved it!

"God you're stupid. I don't blame you."

I can't put into words what is just so right about this line, exactly as it comes in the fic. It's just perfectly there.

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G hyperfocused January 20 2007, 07:23:56 UTC

Absolutely lovely, and that ending was pure poetry.

(Enjoyed the latest Finn-fic, too, btw)

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G toft_froggy January 20 2007, 17:32:11 UTC

*whines* ohh, John, so isolated and angry and guilty all the time. This is what I love about this pairing, that Rodney's able to just smash all that out of the way and give him what he needs. Lovely.

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G raiining January 20 2007, 18:26:16 UTC

wow - all the replies are on this thread! ahhhh, so good.

Rodney looks surprised - genuinely so, and John reckons that means he's a jackass or two higher up the chain of command than he'd imagined; two-star general fuck-up at least

Hehehe. Loved this line. The story itself was really good, but this line made it for me :)

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G whatdanidigs January 20 2007, 19:10:59 UTC

Awwwww, poor John. Loved this, it hit all of my emo!John loves.

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G melagan January 20 2007, 23:00:39 UTC

Oh my, they are both such woobies, only John does it to himself *pets and gives them comfort icon

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G pollitt January 20 2007, 23:21:50 UTC

Oh John and your Atlas-size sense of responsibility, and Spartan repression. And Rodney accepting the apologies and assistance and then figuring it out and just sliding home and up against John.

Beautiful.

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G aurora_84 January 21 2007, 02:04:10 UTC

This has just the right amount of angsting. Boys. ♥

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G frantic_allonsy January 21 2007, 03:03:12 UTC

OOoh, I love the image of John retreating into his bed (blanketfort!) all sullen and unhappy and guilty. And Rodney being the emotionally-sensible one- hee! How sad must John be if Rodney is the one who knows what the hell's going on?

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G sp23 January 21 2007, 04:08:59 UTC

Lovely, perfect ending. John and his guilt and an amazingly insightful Rodney. Did I say lovely yet?

Re: SGA, McKay/Sheppard, G sageness January 21 2007, 20:17:27 UTC

beautiful. :)
