OMGFlail!

I'm so, so glad you worked Teyla in. And Ronon & John talking about Ascension, though frankly I couldn't quite figure out what Ronon meant by:

“This is just bones. It’s the other part that lasts forever. I love you from that part of me. But I can’t stay.”

What's just bones? What other part?

Anyway, you know you have to write the Rodney/Ronon scene now, right? With the flashback to their first time?

Go team you!

PS I don't know if it's your intention, but part of me hurts for Rodney every time John thinks about "who he's hot for" and doesn't include him. And the way John didn't even really fall for Rodney until he knew Ronon liked him too.

I guess as I'm thinking about it I'm starting to see why John keeping Rodney & Ronon apart is so unkind: because I can see Rodney getting a kind of unvarnished physical appreciation and acceptance from Ronon that he doesn't get from John. Love is great, but sometimes it's nice to be lusted after, too.
