-
Spawned in equal turns by an essay I'm tentatively co-writing on genderswap and discussions withfairestcatandcarolyn_claire, I decided to put my various responses and thoughts (mostly eith and againstheyiyaandthingswithwings) into coherent prose and wro

John moved from dreams to partial awareness when the bed dipped under a second body, and he uncurled himself sleepily into a gentler curve so Rodney could settle behind him, front to back, and wrap an arm around him and go to sleep.
-
John is dead; Teyla leaves Atlantis to deal with her guilt. "It wasn’t your fault," Rodney told her, but he helped her fold her largestblanket, the purple Actassi velvet. When he didn’t have anything left to do withhis hands, he stood helplessl

Rodney has the IQ tests, a database of them, saved to his laptop.
