...and I'm done. I hope you enjoyed, or if not, thanks for not throwing things. I appreciate it. :)

Why this must be read:

J/Eers love The Return part I, I'm not sure why. But Elizabeth's partial meltdown in that episode is a lot of fun to explore in fic, as are the implications of our team, stranded on their home but still a team. As we'd expect them to be, anywhere. In this story, John's mission is Elizabeth, in a way that's sweet and pretty without being schmoopy and aggravating. Never leave a (wo)man behind, I believe is the motto. And John won't. It's a sequel to a story you should also read, but I don't think you'll be confused if you don't.

He talks with Rodney that afternoon. Listens idly as he sprouts on about incompetence and boredom and hedges his way around the loneliness he’s really feeling. John sympathizes, but then hides his flinch when Rodney mentions Elizabeth and her stellar track record with returning phone calls.

“I know what you mean,” is all he offers.
