Rodney's cat attacks Ronon's hair! John and Ronon make out at the carnival! Teenage girls hit on Ronon at the mall! John can't get his boyfriends to fucking leave the Golden Corral!
Oh, please, with cherries on top?
Can I just say how much I loved Alpha Centauri? I finished it in 2 days (allright, yes, I mainlined it) and it was wonderful. Rodney/Ronon didn't used to be my thing, but you made me like it. With the Confucian vs Western independence, and PTSD, and how of them all Rodney could be considered the most emotionally stable. Oh, m'boys.
There were parts of it that I loved because of how they relate to my own life. (I can't remember if this is from AlphaCen specifically, because really I finished it and went on to your other stories) There was a part where Rodney's talking about the redhead skater he used to know, and how she's like John because he hadn't wanted anythin from them other than to make the world better by existing in it. And I thought, yes, that's it exactly, and maybe those would be the words that would get through to my girlfriend with.
Also, in case you ever wondered? The sex scenes are smokin'. Purely for the reason of all the dialogue, in my opinion; that part reads true to me (it's possible I'm just talkative in bed, but this is Rodney, right?). When it's a written medium like fic, purely descriptive terms of sex get old, fast. Your scenes don't, because the dialogue is always new.
I'm going to friend your journal, if that's OK. So that if you ever write more snippets or that sequel, I will be notified to commence fangirling immediately. :)
