Oh, god, Cate. *flaps hands* I may be crying. I need more tea.

[sheafrotherdon]

Tea fixes everything, wee yammy! ♥ ♥

asdflkj this is SO painful, John's misery with its color and sharp edges, but it's also completely gorgeous-and I think I'm just about as relieved as John when Rodney finally remembers, when Rodney's hands are on him, framing his face, and his lips are slanting crooked kisses to his jaw, his mouth, and fuck, he remembers, he remembers, every nerve in his body roused to wakefulness by this touch. "A year," Rodney says, fingers trailing down John's throat, hand pressing hard against his chest, above his heart, ohhh my heart! ♥

[sheafrotherdon]

*smishes youuu* ♥ ♥ ♥

*flail*

Later, Rodney will be all "No wonder you were cranky, no sex for a year!" and John will smack him with a pillow and demand a blow job for his suffering.

But for now. OH JOHN.

♥ ♥ I can't decide if the sex that first time after would be slow, slow sloooow, or desperate and fast because they're just so overwhelmed. BOTH ARE GOOD!

thank you, ducks ♥
