You can't leave it there!

[beadattitude]

Oh. Yes. I. Can.

[wolfshark]

Awwww...

Seriously - it's really good. You can just feel how frantic John is.

[beadattitude]

Seriously. I thought about it.

1) I got John and Rodney emotionally to where I wanted them to go. It actually (as of yesterday) was going to end with John saying, "Yes." I was all "please can it end here?" and my betas were,"well, honey, if you want it to...."

2) This was so intense that I could write maybe three-four paragraphs at a time and then have to go shake it off until I could think straight again. I do not know how you write the intense stuff you do. Whoo.

Poor John was so frantic, bless his heart. And he's trying so hard now, now that Rodney pinned him to the wall and made him talk.

And thank you! ::blushes::

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY OF MY BUTTONS THIS PUSHED. HOW DID YOU FIND THEM ALL? AND LOOK: YOU MADE ME RESORT TO CAPSLOCK. I DON'T DO CAPSLOCK, BEAD!

But lower case just didn't seem big enough to express everything. Jesus. This made me breathless. You so own me with this.

::wraps you up so tight and hugs you:: EEEEE!!! And also,::snort::

Lacey, it was pushing so many of MY buttons that I had to lie around every few paragraphs with a metaphorical cold compress on mah haid.

::offers you one::

[hestia_lacey]

*applies compress*

Gyuh.

*gestures broadly at fic*

Just... GYUH.

[beadattitude]

::giggles de-lightedly from under own compress::

[meaghann]

nice job, I love the feel of uneasiness that's present all the way through, till they really speak out loud about what's between them.

[beadattitude]

Thank you! I couldn't figure out why Rodney was being so pushy about John giving him reasons until....suddenly I did.

[lillian13]

Oh, boys.

Such beautiful desperation on both of their parts.

[beadattitude]

::blushes and smiles:: Thank you!

(I always feel bad for your poor icon. Bless it's broken little...er...heart?)

[lillian13]

But it's so...exuberant!

[beadattitude]

I know! And yet in an all-dressed-up-and-not-coming-anywhere sort of a way.

Bless it's heart.

This is just - WOW. You left me breathless and definitely not wanting more.

That was like emotional porn for me and whooo boy, I almost feel the need to go smoke a cigarette now.

All of this is just very much the Rodney and John that live in my own personal canon so um. This is basically my convoluted way of saying I loved this to absolute bits.

[beadattitude]

::puts head on your shoulder:: Thank you. And, oh rly? ::goes to poke through your LJ::

[kashmir1]

You are QUITE welcome! <3

And yes although lately - my LJ has been erm, sort of lacking in anything very fannish. =/
