We trust until we're taught otherwise (amnesty 2008, post secret challenge)

I'm pretty sure I'm the only SGA fan who still remembers Katie Brown. Large image, sorry.

( better not knowing? )

Wah!

Man, I wonder if John did tell him.

half_elf_lost January 3 2009, 04:02:57 UTC

That's exactly what I wondered. I can see John witholding that and having some angst over keeping quiet.

I think if John was convinced that Atlantis needed Rodney he could go to great lengths to keep him there. (And he would feel very guilty about it.)

Aak!!! STORY! I demand it! well... okay I beg for it. Please. The baby is adorable.

Isn't he?

I actually did this because the story I was trying to write wouldn't collaborate. I'll have to get back to it.

I remember Katie well and thought her gentleness and calmness was a good counterpoint for Rodney's manic/hyper/frantic - ness. SGA writers...*sigh...we won't go there.

Your answer to the challenge: Wow. I don't hink you need a story to go with it. The picture and the caption tells it all. Well Done.

I liked Katie/Rodney, too.

less_star January 4 2009, 01:52:35 UTC

*sigh* I know!

Thank you so much for the kind feedback!

Oh, lovely secret!! The baby is adorable (and I don't normally go gooey over babies, I think I lost my maternal instinct a few years ago!). Rodney would freak!!

I liked Katie though I didn't think it would last, and I do like Jennifer and Rodney together (again, not sure it will last, though I think Jennifer stands a better chance than Katie did).

I actually had an idea where Katie didn't tell Rodney about their baby, and then she dies and Rodney is contacted by (whoever) about his child!! Oh, and somehow baby ends up on Atlantis with him (and Keller, who stands by him, as does his team of course!). It was too shippy for me to consider writing (I'd mess it up, trust me) but it could be intriguing!!

Thanks, glad to hear you liked it.

That sounds like a cool idea for a story.

tielan January 3 2009, 21:59:56 UTC

Not the only fan.

This is cool and angsty and terrifying and ARGH. I feel like it wants a story, but I don't feel it needs one. It's all there in the secret.

less_star January 4 2009, 02:00:06 UTC

Wow, thank you so much!

I didn't think Katie/Rodney had much long-term potential (he'll never love anyone as much as physics and Atlantis and John), but I never thought it was eye-scratchingly awful, either. I could really buy Rodney being in love with her.
