De Profundis

My journey into OT4 continues. Not as porny as "Works and Plays Well With Others," not as musical as "Headbanger's Ball." This actually...didn't go at all where I expected it to.
There was no set of circumstances where that particular configuration of fire, electricity, cultists, gravity, and sociopolitical upheval was going to give anyone a good feeling, but worse this time than normal, because by that point Rodney had gotten used to all three of them and also kind of more or less fallen in love.

Marvellous - An OT4 because the OT2 don’t know how to communicate. It does not feel as if they are agonizing about it though, because they know they still have something as good if not better than if they had been exclusively together.
I like the way you have written all the different interactions between the team. Ronon’s reasoning when proposition Rodney, Teyla’s “if we did not know this morning which of us loves whom and why, we will not work it out here and now”
Even though they do not communicate very well verbally, they still ‘get’ each other. This story was sweet because it was not about the sex, rather it was about their feelings for each other, singularly and collectively. "Delenn! She’d be your Delenn." was just a perfect description of John & Teyla, even though I am a McKay/Sheppard lover.
The ending was lovely, it portrayed Rodney with great maturity, willing to be on his own so the others could all be happy, yet knowing that he would have a place with them when he was ready.
As usual with everything you write this is a lovely lovely story, thank you for sharing the joy.
