Most of the time, when the 'getting them to have sex' part of the plot is based on a misunderstanding, you can see it coming without even trying. But here it really took me by surprise. Well done. :D And BTW, the whole story is brilliant.
Thanks! I don't think, hm, it was that much of a misunderstanding--or certainly not the conventional misunderstanding. *g* (Partly because the traditional version comes from insecurity, and John here isn't insecure--if anything, he's overconfident. *G* But he mistakes concern for attraction--and who doesn't? ;) And of course it's not a misunderstanding at all; Rodney's TOTALLY attracted. *g*)
Anyway-glad you enjoyed it; I had a lot of fun with this one.
