/very/ effective. Especially chapter two when Rodney was really begining to...well...die, I suppose. Actually made my heart clench slightly. Very effective.

Also, the explination of those coughs which you can't stop cause you need to cough, but which are just completely useless cause you don't have the energy anymore and your chest hurts so much... I know exactly what you meant atthat, and it was written well.

Thanks for posting

I loved it!!

Poor Rodney! He always gets the short end of the stick in your stories :O
Not only did he nearly die, but he lost his precious books...
Excellent story (as usual!)

No! Don't burn the rosseta stone! It's an imaginary book in an imaginary universe and still this hurts me.

I loved reading the story. Interesting point when Rodney couldn't speak.. LOL Excellent!
Lots of stars!

*applauds enthusiastically*

Incredible story. I absolutely loved it!

So far, so good. This story is really drawing me in.

Good Lord, I think I might hurt for that loss as much as Rodney does. But I really really like your conclusion, especially the learning (for future eventualities) and John's statement about "potential" that Rodney didn't "entirely" understand.

Because, yeah. Brain as big as a planet. I'll come to him.
God, what a faith ...

Great story. Thank you.

"You saw potential in those books. I see it someplace else."

*points* My heart did a little flutter right there. That has got to be one of the sweetest things anyone could say to Rodney and of course he didn't get it. =3

"you saw potential in those books. I see it someplace else."

I LOVE THIS. You found a lovely way to emphasize just how far Sheppard will go to save his friends, family, team. Lovely. Your descriptions are terrific and I adore how you write John and Rodney! Yay!

Great story! Keep up the good work:)

Rodney just doesn't learn does he? -laughs- Beautiful story. John is so wonderful! The future of atlantis didn't matter quite as much without Rodney in it -grins- Great job! Excellent writting too
-Zooky

A wonderful story :-)

I've been a fan since your M7 days. I'm sure glad you found Rodney.

Another brilliant story. Lovely interaction between shepard and McKay and of course, some awesome whump!

Thank you

Hopefully next story coming in a couple of days?!? :) lol

I like Sheppard's reasoning - “You saw potential in those books. I see it someplace else.” Very nice sentiment :)
