Word Count: ~14,800 (I know!!)
Timeline: Set vaguely in the middle of S2 - definitely post-Runner, but with references to S1.
Summary: "You can’t have it both ways, Colonel. If you haven’t had any relationships, either you’re having the occasional one-night stand or you’re not having sex at all.”
Disclaimer: SGA doesn't belong to me. But you already knew that.
Author Notes:: [livejournal.com profile] torakowalski said she'd really like to see a realistic Virgin!John fic, and I got to thinking about it and couldn't stop. I tried my very best. This is for her.

On my webpage because it was too big for one post. Oops.

Lost in Waiting

Feedback makes me happy - multiple times. *G*

ETA: A huge thank you to everyone for reading and commenting. This is the most response I've ever had on a fic, and it's overwhelming in the best possible way. I usually respond to all comments, but I don't think I'll be able to this time, although I'll try to get to as many as possible. Thank you so much. ~Lacey

You are amazing. I always get excited when I see a new story from you because I know it will be a treasure to be pulled out and enjoyed time and again.

This story is no exception. You've captured John's intangible aloofness perfectly. I have no problems seeing the Rodney we see on the screen as somebody huggable. John is a totally different story - despite his unflagging affability, he's not really touchable. You've portrayed that perfectly here and given plausible reasons for it. Both of the guys are almost eerily in character.

Thank you for sharing with us.
