Beautiful and amazing! I loved the sleep deprived Rodney - so very real!

Thank you! I'm so glad you thought it worked.

It very much worked...it felt very real, very desperate - just as it should have.

This was angry and beautiful. I love Rodney's frantic exhaustion, and John trying to help him, and even Brad, who's a good sex worker who's there for the soul as well as the body.

I'm glad you liked! Caro gave me this story idea, and it was really fascinating to think about what it would be like for Rodney to come down from all that adrenaline and drugs and terror after the seige was over.

I really felt that Brad needed to be the wisest one fo the bunch. :)

Wow. I love the blend of reality and hallucination, how royally fucked Rodney is even if he doesn't get it all, and the ramifications of the finale. Very well done.

Thank you so much! i'm so glad you enjoyed. I've never been seriously sleep deprived myself. I turn into a pumpkin if I go one night without much rest. But I figured the ability to differentiate between the real and the imagined would be one of the first things to go.

Gah, alway, always bad to start off with hallucinations. Very, very bad. Poor John stand in got all the craziness. But so hot when John says: "If anyone's going to fuck you," Sheppard slurs angrily against Rodney's lips, "it's going to be me."

Hallucinations = get help now!!

I'm glad you liked that line of John's. I enjoy making him go all possessive. :)
