Thank you for filling some of those glaring gaps. That episode had been so obviously cut for time, in places it almost was "hacked to pieces"!

Really made me feel for poor old Rodney

Thanks for your story.

So sweet! I especially love the last bit here with Sheppard and Keller.

Terrific missing scene! It both answers questions left dangling in the episode (what happened to Carson) and raises some intriguing ones (why Michael didn't invade the Milky Way, which would make a fascinating AU story).

Thank you!

That was so amazing! Had me in tears. Love the rodney/sheppard friendship. Best "The Last Man" fanfic I've seen yet. 3

Great story. I like that you had John ask about what happened to Carson. It was sad to read that future Rodney died on Atlantis. I really liked that you had John encourage Jennifer to ask Rodney out again. I liked how Jennifer got all embarrassed after she went on about Rodney.

“if you think I’m that shallow that I only look skin deep, then you’re sorely mistaken. And if you can’t see the beauty in him, in who he is and how much he loves all of you and this City and how much more he has to give, then you…you….”

Absolutely loved this; very sweet. I particularly liked the end of the alternate Rodney's story - sad, yes, but it seemed very fitting for him. Although I'm still not convinced about them, he and Keller definitely do make a cute couple.

Read this story a long time ago, but at the time I did not have an account here. I'm returning om my steps now. ;)

I really liked/like reading this. ;)

i love it!

Aww love that story! Cute ending, when Keller says all the things about Rodney, and well:) that as the mising part of TLM :D loves it :D

Great story! I really like this one too! :)

A great addition to the episode. The friendship alive after so many years, with all the changes, written so well. It's always nice to come back and read this again.

First of all, I have to say I was giggling all the way through the scene with Keller. Sheppard is such the meddling little rascal, hehe.

Anyway! I've seen a few of the "missing scene" fics, but I think this one's my favorite. It's concise and to the point, but beautifully conveys the depth of emotion and tragedy in the stark loneliness of the abandoned Atlantis. Rodney's death not being discovered for two weeks illustrated that more than anything. I love how the ending not only drags the reader out of the feeling of empty despair of the alternate timeline, but gives an strong air of hope to it all.

Thanks for another great story. The scenes where holo-Rodney wondered about his timeline's fate or that alluded to his time alone on Atlantis were very poignant.
