Great fic. Really liked it.

That was awesome! With the right amount of angst and with the ending...perfect!

Lovely. This is a very good exploration of John and Rodney and leadership. Thanks for sharing.

Rodney's words usually were blunt-force weapons, smashing opponents into the dust, but his voice now was a scalpel, a blade sharp enough that you didn't realize you were bleeding.

I absolutely love that line, and the way you use your words. You're a very poetic writer and I loved this!

This was brilliantly written. I was at the edge of my seat at one point. Great story.

Nice story

Oh my goodness! The anger just lept off the page. The fear in John was so...I'm speechless. This was good. Very, very good. Thanks.

*heart* Very nice indeed.

Very cool story! This was so needed! Yes, John pulls this sort of thing all the time, doesn't he? I love that Rodney confronted him on it. Oh, and the whole locking himself in the front of the jumper and leaving Mckay to deal with the others on his own. LOL. Great little story

Excellent. I think you managed to capture both characters perfectly. It was entirely believable throughout.

Thank you. I really enjoyed reading it.

Really, really great story!! I wondered how their relationship would be after the whole "Vent the atmosphere" thing. Good closure to the episode. I so wish we could see more conversations like this on the episodes. I was nearly in tears at the end. Loved and please keep writing more!!

*applauds* Excellent!! Loved this. You did such a fabulous job showing Rodney's anger and John's response to it... and all the valid reasons behind it all.

Love this: "Did you not hear me just now?" Rodney asked him irritably. "We're not cool. I'm not going to sit here and do the kidding thing with you."

It's a very rare acknowledgement of the way their friendship goes, and it's stark for its honesty... shows just how truly pissed off Rodney is.

Also loved this: "For the jumper," John said, because it was easier than Thank you for saving my life and your own or I'm sorry or I wish I could promise that I won't give you another order like that again.
"You abandoned me," Rodney said. "To Bill Lee, and two musical Marines, and Kavanagh. You owe me so big your grandchildren are still going to be paying me back."

Nice double meaning there with "You abandoned me", and good job with John's specific thank you thought but left unsaid.

Great story. Really nice job!

Powerful. This was the exact closure that I was looking for after that episode. John and Rodney have so much history now and you put it into words perfectly with this story. thanks for sharing.

Aw cute!
Totally loved the heart to heart, well as emotionally soul bearing as those two get...
Nice tag, I'm glad someone addressed this issue, and you did a wonderful job doing so!
Kudos,

Excellent! A thoughtful and realistic take on John and Rodney.
