Rodney's pulse, too fragile, too temporary, and he thinks, I'll have to do something about that

This just about killed me. ♥
Lovely!

This was so beautiful. I want it to continue, but really its perfect just is.

Loved this, the slightly alien John and the calculating WMD building Rodney add a little dark spice to it.

Also, thanks for linking to the Archive. I've been having great fun poking around. I got back into fandom just as the talk about the OTW was really rolling. I've been anticipating the Archive so eagerly, it's like Christmas morning.

Great story.

Absolutely wonderful progression, not only John's growth, but Rodney's acceptance.
