All the little details like that really add to up more than the sum of their parts. I like that you have at least three senses of Away expressed here, not just with the AU but also because Rodney's been away, and needs time away from Atlantis to recuperate.
Plus, mmmmm, their first-time sex scene is so real and good.

I'm really glad the details show, I wanted them to be there so the difference in era was obvious, but they had to be things John would notice and actually think about.
So glad you liked this considering the help you gave me; it wouldn't be here without you. :)

I really like the clever use of McKay's first name. Meredith would be a perfectly respectable name for a gentleman of that era.

Glad you liked it! And yes, I couldn't imagine why McKay in that era wouldn't use Meredith.

I had given some consideration to having Rodney's time in slavery be a lot worse, but in the end, I decided that he didn't need this huge burden of angst, just something that played on his insecurities.
So glad you liked it!
