That is cool! I love the premise, though the ramifications for poor John are terrible. At least he's able to get used to his team, and maybe someday he'll know enough about them that he'll actually feel comfortable touching them. I'm really glad that Rodney is the one person who's touch is actually comforting. Not only does it make lots of sense given how (as you said), Rodney is so completely wysiwyg, but it warms my McSheppy OTP heart. ::g::

Thank you very much for telling me about this fic! I feel awful for John, but really enjoyed the ideas behind it.
