God, I LOVE this! Fell about laughing, really enjoyed it! So many great lines -

- commanding officers didn't whine. Instead they expressed displeasure. That was it. He and his cramping hands were displeased

- "The angle's entirely wrong," Rodney said, but his eyes looked somewhere between terrified and hopeful.
"Gravity's a wonderful thing," John said.

- "...Plus I was going at the same time. Not like I'd be haunted for the rest of my life."
"Point." Rodney frowned in thought.

- "...A cloned version of my own body," Rodney said. He added graciously, "You could have one too. I'm sure they'd find a use for you."

And their voices were perfect - John so laid back and cheerfully snarky, and Rodney still a bit twitchy and bug-eyed even after the "tried and true maneuvers".

And just the whole chilling out and talking nonsense on the pier thing (so them) with the soft-center death pact embedded in their banter. Gorgeous.

Thank-you thank-you thank-you! ♥

Merry Christmas, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Cute and sweet, but not too sugary. And with a shower scene thrown in! Very nice. ;)

Like a tangerine in your stocking.

*attempts to apply that analogy to the shower* *fails*

This was really funny. (*incredibly subtle hint:*) I can't wait to hear the wedding vows used by this version of John and Rodney... ;)

Oh, ha. Hmm. Maybe....
