These two are very, very nice. I think John got off extremely easy, but then, I tend to go Rodney's melodramatic route when I'm in situations of this nature, so I understand how painfully humiliating it is when you see just how small what you're asking for really is -- humiliating on both sides.

Wonderful. I love hurt!Rodney fic :)

Thank you so much - and yes, John got off easy, but I think Rodney has it in him to simply forgive when the situation calls for it. :)

John is such a nit. Honestly. But he did make the effort. Now it's Elizabeth's turn to apologize and/or say thank you. I guess there is some part of Rodney that lets John get away with crap, at least for a while until it just becomes too much. It's not healthy for either of them.

However, well done on your part for giving us two insightful stories. Now you can go fix the guys. Make them grow up. Only... they wouldn't be as much fun if they acted like responsible adults rather than twelve year old boys. *g*

Thank you!

I... can't really see that happening. But it would be a nice thing.

I totally agree. They're so cute when they're being stupid. *g*

Wow. This was fandamntastic. Really impressive. I loved the two POVs, and I loved well, everything. Rodney was right, and John was right too, in a way. And the ending was wonderful :D

[lavvyan]

Thank you very much! *beams*

This was both painful and sweet. Really great take on the problem, and wonderful to get both guy's thoughts. Good to see Rodney taking a stand for himself, and John just wondering where that came from. They are silly kids, but we love them (or at least the stories about them) for it.
