John Sheppard was surprised to find, however, that he did care what people thought of him; he actually had something to lose. Ohhh.... how heartbreaking that it took John this long to figure this out..... ::snuggles him::

Thanks :-) And sorry for the late reply

Poor John, and Rodney with his oh-so-awkward comfort, but he's trying, you know?

[ariadne83]

I know! I tried to make him more understanding but it just doesn't work

[emeraldsword]

ouch. Good work. Poor John (and I do feel very sorry for his wife too).

[ariadne83]

Thank you. It seemed like a John thing to do - ignore a problem if he can't change it directly

Re: ouch

[ariadne83]

*beams* Thank you. I can't seem to get away from the ouch lately

What a sad commentary for a hero to relay. Yet, this is how hero's are made, trying their best to 'make up' for their imperfections again and again. What the world sees is the effort, the over the top, the larger than life, and never the pain behind it.

This was masterful, thank you for sharing. It was pure John Sheppard.

Wow, thank you for the great feedback :)
