For me the story is quite sad

Man, I'm going to give up trying to write happy endings! Clearly I suck at it. *g* In all seriousness, I absolutely think there's an element of jealousy in John's reaction -- part of the problem being that I'm not sure he knows what he wants and needs, while they have that certainty. But to me that's a huge and important part of becoming the person you're supposed to be: those doubts and questions and dissatisfactions. I think John's a hell of a lot further down the road toward wherever he's going by the end of the story than he was at the beginning; the issues all of this raised for him aren't necessarily fun and comfortable (because I get bored writing stories about people who are having too much fun *g*), but I don't think of it as a sad thing that he needs to deal with those issues. I guess to me, that's how people grow, and I think he does in this story.

I have to set aside some time to re-read carefully (oh, the pain!) to see if the story tells me why Ronon is with Rodney.

500,000 fangirls on lj assure me that Rodney is a great catch! *g*

I'm glad you got so much to think about over the story. Hopefully you keep enjoying it on your subsequent trips through!
