I just read it all over again, and wow, Jen, so beautiful. The sweetness of Rodney going off world and thinking so much of John, and looking after him. Boots and cloth and room temperature and snagging up the blankets before he gets cold. ::clutches whole fic to bosom::
And John warm and sleepy and happy, stretching and getting why Rodney brought him the cloth and his lazy warm stretch at the end, drawling that they're already married, probably (absolutely).
There's a whole story of John here, underneath Rodney's that's just as vivid and dear, full of how much joy he has in their relationship, running through the story like threads of silver. The other stuff, too, fighting illness and the hardscrabble life they have, but his joy in Rodney is palpable and shining.
