Stargate Atlantis -- "Helping Hand"

for sorcha_gaia, who as a block-breaker prompted me: SGA, verdure/verdant, wire, metacarpals

John didn’t think he took a real breath until they were back in Atlantis and Rodney was on his way to the infirmary. Maybe not even then.

I don't think there's going to be more of this. In my mind, the favor's never going to be returned, but my muse seems to be on a tragic bent right now.

Yes, if I were Rodney, I'd be silent, too. It would take a different character altogether to start asking the important, necessary questions. And John's feeling guilty, so he's not going to say anything... *flails*

I think it's great that you didn't go the obvious route where they Live Happily Ever After. It must be the Mensa thing: the brain is the most important sex organ, and these guys are so repressed amd overthinking everything. *sighs*

I'm sure if it were Daniel, he'd be talking a mile a minute already. :)

And I'd considered making it Happily Ever After, but then it just stopped and I said, "Ya know, I like it that way." And repressed is a good word for them.
