You waited until the very end to give me my favorite two lines in the story:

"I'm just taking a moment to mourn the end of the romance."

Rodney looked up at him with such pure delight that John felt his stomach flip.

*hearts*

The original story was very romantic at its heart, and I tried to capture that. I'm so glad you liked it--thank you!!

Man, I loved the original fic, and I was so sad there wasn't more in that -verse, and now there IS, and it's FANTASTIC. Hurrah! Thank you so much, I enjoyed this very very much. :-)

I was sad that there wasn't more in that 'verse too, when thte original came out. So I was so happy to be able to write more. :D Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!

I found the ideas raised in the original fic very interesting. I love how you've switched the vampire/human roles. That worked very well. Being a loner fits John so well, and Rodney was great. And YAY! for the ending with Rodney coming to John!!! Loved it.

Thank you! John as a vampire really pushes all my buttons. This was fun to do, and I'm glad you liked it!

"I wasn't ever that good. I lack soul."

"You're not the only one," John said. Haha, even as a creature of the night, John is a total dork. :D

John is a total dork.

Heh, I know! Thank you! *grins*

I love the original of this one, and the remix takes a great approach... I really enjoy how many echoes of the original remain, providing contrast for the many differences you've introduced with the change of character roles.

So many details, and they felt perfectly right for this John and this Rodney: Rodney's pleased hum, John as a reluctant Confederate soldier, Rodney writing quote-unquote out in his letter. Great story.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tack I took here. It was fun to make just one huge change and see what happened. :)
