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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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

Nothing over-angsty or ridiculous, John's parents weren't abusive, he wasn't raped, he wasn't in too severe a denial. It just never happened to him. And that actually feels believable, that it would simply not occu in real life. Not to mention how, looking at Sheppard in general durin the show, your rendition makes perfect sense.
As for Rodney, personally, I'm a big fan of the idea that, while still being his loud, obnoxious, egotistical and paranoic self, Rodney still handles John differently. That there's something between them, a certain level of comfort and a connection. Rodney's approach was excellent and heartfelt, and, like I said, I very much felt like the both of them were real live people.
Thanks so much for writing this, I loved every bit of it! You're a damn great writer!
