Oh my god, I don't even know where to start! I love this so much -- you didn't just give me one story where they met prior to Atlantis, you gave me five of them! And I love every word in every one

Well done! Unique take on the 5 things, because usually when J&R meet earlier in life then it's even more of a sign that they are Meant To Be. I like this very much.

I thought those earlier universes (esp. 3) were going to break my heart until five came along and made everything better. Great job.

That was inventive and just plain wonderful--except for universe 3 where Rodney never hears from John again, which broke my heart. John has to be dead, in order for someone with Rodney's clearance not to be able to find him, and the idea that there's not even any hope is horribly sad. But it's testament to how well this is written that it upset me so much. So, great job. But, D:

Great job on all of these. Surprisingly, I think my favorite one is the one where Rodney finds his music. I have always thought that Rodney could probably have been just as happy being a musician as he is a scientist. I'm glad he got that chance in at least one universe. And maybe one day, when John is on leave, he'll make his way to one of Rodney's concerts and get himself backstage...
