[purna]

Hey, thanks! Glad you liked it. And, wow, you'll make me blush. :)

[amothea]

I loved this story.

[purna]

Thanks!

This was brilliant!

"Whatever your passion might be, for Rodney it is a problem that bends to his will, the chance to learn, to stretch his intellect. The neural room -- to be utterly immersed in that moment when everything makes sense, when the puzzle almost solves itself..." Zelenka trailed off, staring dreamily into space. - That line is going to stay with me, it's haunting and beautiful. I love Zelenka in this.

It was a serious turn on, the feeling of being in synch with Rodney again, and he licked his lips. - *grins*

A great plot, a great ending and it was hot too, what more could anyone want?

[purna]

Heh, I adore Zelenka, so I'm glad you liked him here.

I'm so happy this worked for you!

It was interesting writing John and Rodney (and Zelenka, for that matter) here, because it really is a shift in gears to go from one to the other.

And John strikes me as someone who's smart, but not someone who could get lost in in his own head, as I see Rodney easily doing.

Anyway, thanks!

wow. yes. the neural room would be like heaven for Rodney, and it would be like hell to lose it. excellent concept, wonderful execution.

[purna]

Hey, thanks! I'm glad the concept worked for you.
