Title: Speech Deprived (~5,300 words)
Author: xparrot
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: PG (13 for a few words)
Notes: Last minute and ridiculously indulgent. Yes, I've batted three for three for CPR in my last three fics. Oops? Thanks to gnine for the title and the latest bad-thing-to-do-to-Rodney, and naye for the usual marvelous cheerleading (I am so spoiled!)

Oh Team!!!

Wonderfully fun,and I love the end. Well done :) The first bit was excellent, too, with the strangling and the smashing and the awesomess of Team in Trouble. !!!

Thank you! I have much fun writing the team in action, I must say, especially when they're rescuing one of their own.

What a pleasure to read! Perfect ending *happy sigh*

Glad you enjoyed it!

Terrific! I love how ferocious John and Ronon were getting to Rodney and how everyone was trying to take care of him, and of course he didn't get it. Aw-Rodney.

xparrot July 7 2008, 05:55:47 UTC

Thanks! Rodney is so cute, not getting it... ^^

Aw! This was fantastic! Very sweet and in-character (which can be quite difficult to do!). And excellent showing-not-telling for how John feels about Rodney--it's very obvious that he really knows him well and cares about him a lot, from all of the little touches and behaviors you include.

BADGE FOR HAIRSTYLING, Y/Y?

This bit made me snort out loud. The answer is clearly very, very Y!

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! One of the fun things about writing John's POV is that he doesn't always know himself what he's feeling, so it's got to come out in other ways.

And heh - really Sheppard's styling expertise is all about keeping his crazy hair under some semblance of control! But it's terrible fun to tease him about it either way...

Awww. I'm a sucker for Rodney h/c from John's POV, and this pushed all my happiness buttons.

xparrot July 7 2008, 06:04:02 UTC

Hee, I am a sucker for just the same, so glad you enjoyed it!

(because I am shameless, I'll mention I've got a few other Rodney h/c fics; "Safekeeping" is longer and more indulgent than this, and also John's POV...)
