Fabulous

So it's my story and I'm WAAAY down the line... xD Stupid no internet at home.

Anyway, this was fabulous. I absolutely loved it. I love the implication that John and Rodney do things with Ronon and that's why he's the only person Rodney can trust with his pain...

I love so much about this. You did a fabulous job. I really really like it. :)

Yay that you liked it! I was so nervous about how this one would turn out and whether or not I leaving too much 'white-space' to be filled in by readers.

It's such a relief that you enjoyed it :D

Oh, man, wow. This is painful and sharp and beautiful. I love that Rodney went for vengeance; that Ronon and Teyla knew him well enough to know where he had gone; the way he goes to Ronon, and the way you show us that he and John and Ronon have done this before; the way John is the invisible partner all through the (incredibly hot and tender) sex -- and the ending, which left me sighing with relief.

I felt far too guilty to actually have John die (which had been the original plan). I'm so glad the sense of team came across, because that's one of the things I was aiming for :D

Brilliantly done! Dark and painful but oh so good. Great fic.

[moonlettuce]

Thank you! :D

[xparrot]

Ow and oh and ouch and wow. Love how Ronon knew what he needed, and it wasn't the first time...

[moonlettuce]

When it comes down to it, they're team and know exactly what each other need :D

[dragojustine]

I love how much is left unsaid and implied in this. It's amazingly powerful.

[beachlass]

Yes. Exactly. *nods*

[moonlettuce]

Glad you liked :D

[moonlettuce]

:D Thank you! I was worried I was leaving too much unsaid, but adding more just didn't read right, so yay that it worked :D
