I went "eee!" when I saw the title - you got the Counting Crows reference! I loved how you show what is happening with Rodney and John through the evolution of Rodney's dreams. It's a wonderful explanation for the scene at the beginning of "And I Cannot Feel The Sun". Rodney *is* such an anchor through all of this, and I enjoyed seeing the scene though his eyes, as intense and sad as it was! A lot of this AU (on the page and in my head) is centered around the theme of Rodney as caregiver and you've really captured the affection and desperation he feels for John here.
And then you made me laugh with this line:
As it was, if he couldn’t figure it out soon, he would be telling Keller, “Hey, remember that bit where John is going through Atlantis-withdrawal? He’s figured out how to get his fix by latching onto my brain every night.”
Yeah. Right. Not happening.
only to break my heart again with the last line:
Rodney would put up with anything to keep John alive and in the world, even if the world wasn’t the one John wanted.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I couldn't be more pleased!
