Oh, this is just fantastic! I love the progression of their relationship through the years of the mission. Including Rod and Cadman-in-Rodney are nice touches and using the doppelganger is great too. And the ending is just really sweet.

Oh, this is terrific. I love that you got all the different kinds of grand slams in there, that they're all games, and yet woven it beautifully into canon. This has a very luxurious feel to it, and a really nice John voice. Great story, thank you!

I loved this story. It had a nice build up and I liked the bit with Cadman. I haven't read too many stories that try to explain what she was doing when Rodney was asleep and I like the thought that she was with John. Also, "clean your clubs" is a great euphemism and should really be used more often, lol.

I LOVED that. Terrific all around! Well done. And the Rod scene...ouch. But OH! and yay!
