ah, this is very intriguing. and i love this: ""Fair enough," Rodney said, with a quick, wry smile that chased the worry off his face for a second, and before he ducked his head, the light in his eyes told John that he didn't believe the lie, either."

that's a beautiful description of such a familiar expression. *g*

[kageygirl]

Thanks! This was pretty much just a bit of weirdness that wouldn't go away, so I'm glad you liked it. *g*

Your imagery is so incredibly vivid!

Also, your icon is terribly appropriate. :)

[kageygirl]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

That icon (and this one, too) use the lyrics from a Stabbing Westward song, "Shame."

Excellent.

Thanks! Well, of course he wasn't going to give up on Rodney, but he has to give him a little grief, too. *g*

I guess we all felt the echoes of this agony.
"Next time you get taken, and there's a test to get you back? I'm just gonna let them keep you"
Yeah, right <3

::giggles:: Well, he has an image to maintain. *g*

image to maintain

[_inbetween_]

I kinda suffered with J - until you just now gave me the mental image of Worf doing that Klingon pain thing and have me grinning.

Oh, yeah. This is just wonderful. The lengths John will go to for Rodney....
*is happy*

[kageygirl]

Yay! Happy is good. *g* Thanks!
