In fact, Rodney remembers everyone and everything except John Sheppard, and John can't figure out what could be so terrible about their friendship that Rodney apparently wants to forget him entirely. Worse, Rodney seems
happy not remembering Sheppard - at least initially. However, time spent together (including being trapped on a jumper alone!) leads to some interesting revelations about what might be at the root of the problem. Add to that the possibility of being able to restore Rodney's memories at the expense of any new ones he's created, and you've got a wonderfully complex story about trust and taking chances.
( Rodney's gaze, which had been wandering around the room, came back to meet John's, and his smile diminished. 'I'm sorry,' he said. 'Do I know you?' )Read the story / Feedback the author:
