Oh man. This hurt my stomach (in a good way, of course). Just... geez. Poor John and poor Rodney.

[sheafrotherdon]

I know, poor boys. But now they're back together! And it's okay! ♥ thank you, sweets!

You're welcome. Honestly. Some day we'll all crack the code on how you manage to, without fail, reach into our chests and slap our hearts around.

Oh, John -- you're so beautiful and messed-up. Of course he would assume that the first time was some sort of fluke, and retreat, and try not to obligate Rodney, and... oh, John.

(Beautiful story.)

This creates the heart-grabbing physical ache that angsty fic is supposed to create.

[sheafrotherdon]

oh, thank you! ♥

I like this. John's innate stoicism at war with his deep emotion....

[sheafrotherdon]

thank you!
