Why this must be read:
Kageygirl took one of the most common homonym errors in fanfiction - confusion of loose and lose - and wrote an entire fic around it, and for that alone this story should be recommended. It's smart, it's touching, it's funny and most of all it's true to the characters. This is a believable John and Rodney, moving towards a believable and oddly tender relationship, even though none of their trademark snark is missing.
And I do so love their snark.
Rodney opened his mouth, then snapped it shut and looked away. "So you're just going to leave me here, for the sake of interplanetary relations?" He folded his arms and took a deep breath. "This is completely ridiculous—I'm far too valuable to be just a… a pawn, thrown to the wolves for the sake of diplomacy."
There was a touch of desperation in his voice, as if, despite what he'd said, some part of Rodney really believed that they'd just abandon him. John coughed into his hand, and Rodney looked back at him, narrowing his eyes.
"Wait, hold on a minute." Rodney walked over to stare at John up close. "You're remarkably composed about this turn of events, Major. You could show just a little bit of regret about my impending loss."
Busted. Rodney was just getting more pissed and worked up and suspicious by the second, and John couldn't take it any more. "They won't negotiate with me." He grinned at Rodney. "They will, however, negotiate with Teyla. Since they know her better and all."
Rodney shook his head, completely disgusted, and John was pretty damn proud of that. Getting Rodney irritated with him was a good way to keep him distracted from his incarceration—not to mention staving off his claustrophobia.
