This is....wow, 18 days after you posted, but I only just joined the comm and was able to read it now, so please forgive me for the belatedness :)

I sorta wanted to cry throughout most of the fic; Rodney's aching knowledge of what John was doing and, moreover, John's seeming desperation in his relationship with Rodney, it was all so clear and so effective and tore at my heart. That made the ending even sweeter. It left me smiling instead of crying, showed that maybe, in baby steps, John is starting to realize how important he is to people. Beautiful.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it; I kind of wanted the angst to be a muted, but there: John doesn't feel sorry for himself at all, which is wy I personally feel so terrible for him. *g* (Anyway--welcome, welcome to sga_flashfic!)
