This is very fine. I love the slow, relaxed unfolding of the story, as well as how gentle it is--Rodney's recollection of the epidemic and John's illness is affecting, but no longer desperate. I love to see them settled into their lives this way, to see them have the chance for comfort in the middle of everything.
I also like how playful they are with each other, that John really does wear the jacket, and that there is still enough tension and heat between them that Rodney's gift can be both remarkably thoughtful and the intro to porn-o-rama. ::g::
As a remix, this is like a little treasure hunt. Figuring out where the links back to my story were and what you reversed and expanded on was just a pleasure. I really enjoyed this. Plus, since I have two stories, one of you is a pinch-hitter, and if it is you I am mega-impressed at the fast turnaround. Thanks so much!
