Eep!

liked it very much yay Rodney angst! hurt/comfort hugging yay! Whee! Fun.

[terrie01]

Actually, I haven't the slightest idea what happens next. They're all too traumatized to tell me. :)

[rosewildeirish]

...where's Teyla?

[terrie01]

I assume she's with Ford. God, now I have two things to think about when I decide if I'm gonna do a sequel.

[kaytee4ever]

Oh no! God, such lovely painful angst. Damn.

I hope we get to find out more.

*sad* poor Rodney.

[terrie01]

I'm not yet sure if there will be a sequel. No plans yet, but I wouldn't rule it out. I'm glad you liked it.

[kaytee4ever]

ah. *remains hopeful*

[rosewildeirish]

*pokes* Has to be! Teyla's unaccounted for, omg.

[probodie]

Not slash?? Uh huh, riiight ;-) Whatever, this was fab...is there more to come?????

[terrie01]

I swear, I never intended it as slash. My hand to God. Honestly, Rodney's so vulnerable in this that anything even slightly sexual would be too much like child molestation. I like to think that they *could* be in a relationship (I love Beckett/McKay/Sheppard), but that it doesn't matter, really. That this goes beyond that to raw, human need. But that could be my grandious illusions about what I wrote. ;)

[probodie]

It's still fab, and being a slasher, I'm afraid I see it in most things i read lol

[terrie01]

Here's the oddest part. I had planned to write happy shower slash smut, not... whatever it is I wrote. As a long time slasher myself, there 's usually slash happening in the background, at least. But this... I don't know. It just said "Doesn't matter, so let people see it how they will."

[agentotter]

Aw, poor Rodney.

Teyla is conspicuously absent. *is suspicious*

Sequel? Look, Rodney's offering you his cat in exchange for a sequel.

[terrie01]

If I promise Teyla's not dead, will people be happy?

[casspeach]

If you promise a sequel, I'll be happy. Truth be told, I'm happy already, this was a lovely sad fic!

[terrie01]

Thank you! And I'm starting to get ideas. Rodney says he doesn't want to be left so broken -- it'll ruin his image as a sarcastic bastard. :)

Poor Rodney. Whatever happened must have been extremely traumatic for him to revert to such an unresponsive state. And then Shep being all concerned about him. Awww.

[terrie01]

I'm just so touched by the response this story is getting. Really, I'm blown away.
