Oh GOD this was WONDERFUL! The first had so much going on behind the scenes, and I'm so glad you came back and filled in a bit. I love that Rodney punches John when he finds out the truth about the Stargate program. I love the napkin in Rodney's wallet. I wanted to smack Rodney upside the head for cheating on John and almost doing it again. I love Max and Bean. *hearts you*

This is just wonderful. No, not "just" wonderful, because it is many things beyond wonderful. It's beautiful and true, and there are moments that made me laugh, but I had a lump in my throat even as I was chuckling. I adored the first story, and this expands and illustrates and surrounds that one.

But he takes John's hand, and John pulls him down, and he may not be allowed in John's head but John's generous with his body. I don't even know how to say how much I love that line.

Either there is a six year old girl in the house, or they need to move back to Canada immediately because the burglars in Colorado are twisted. This was so funny.

I have to say, though, I kind of like Captain Underpants. :o)

Thank you for sharing this. It's truly lovely.

busaikko has read every single Captain Underpants book. Twice over, probably! It was meant to encourage the spawn to read, but mostly it encouraged them to run around naked with their underwear on their heads.... I think the science in the series would cause Rodney pain *nods nods*

Glad you enjoyed!

Every time I read one of your fics I get completely caught up in it and I end up walking around for the next few hours with my mind still stuck in whatever universe you've created - expecting to see Rodney and Max and John when I turn the corner.

All of which is a very long-winded way of saying this was very, very good, thank you.

Oh, I love this. It's so *real*. They're both flawed, imperfect human beings who mess up and make each other furious just as easily as they love. It makes me flail, just a little.

(plus, I adore stories where John is the civilian and Rodney the military man, so that's a bonus!)

Thank you! I'm glad that they seemed real: it's the sticking together when everything's not perfect that's the real relationship glue *g* (And it is way hard to write military!Rodney without turning him into Rod. Just sayin')

OMG, awesome - love this so much! I love their courtship & the letters/ care packages (esp the chocolate, or rather the lack thereof), and the discussing moving-in scene. So glad you expanded on the fic - a big thank you to the instigators, as well :P
