John gets Rodney, and he's one of the few people that does. (Zelenka would be the other one, I think.) There's just something about the two of them together, and how they give each other shit and are willing to take it, that makes me think that even when things aren't exactly perfect between then, that they will still be able to work it out. I like it when they have flaws.

And I'm really happy that you liked the story. Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it.
