Oh, oh, oh! That was so great! First of all, thank you - I was so annoyed at Ronon during "Epiphany" that I had pretty much forgotten how much I actually like, and now you have reminded me in the best possible way, so, thanks.
I really liked the understated way you show their relationship developing, and how they get closer without Rodney ever noticing a thing. That total obliviousness seemed very in character for Rodney.
And the whole argument about the correct way to measure Atlantis time just cracked me up, even though Rodney is clearly wrongwrongwrong - thirty hour days, I want them! Where can I sign up?
And this paragraph:
Ronon frowned and rubbed the heel of his hand over his kneecap. “I don’t really get you,” he said. “I mean...I know I’m kind of rusty at this, but I don’t.... I thought maybe you wanted time alone, or that maybe you didn’t want people to.... I haven’t told anybody. In case you’re worried. I mean, I think Teyla knows, but I didn’t tell her anything.”
is so very awesome - Ronon seems so vulnerable and insecure here, while still being a tough warrior who doesn't talk about his feelings, which is a great mix, and very much like I see him in canon.
