Why This Must Be Read:

I love this story constructed by four authors with accompanying art constructed by four artists. John and Rodney sharing a prison cell gives John too much time to think, and he ends up revealing more than he's ever managed before. It all works out to the good, of course.


Excerpt:

"I wasn't going to ask you to be on my team."

The words hover between them, and not for the first time in his life John wishes for a cloaking device after the fact. He settles for damage control.

"I mean, I did anyway, right? Sometimes people learn from their mistakes," he offers, wincing.

"You'd think so, wouldn't you?" Rodney says, finally looking over with an expression so full of accusatory sarcasm that John doesn't know whether to drum up some indignance of his own or suggest that Rodney drink the last of the water as a peace offering. What he doesn't expect is for Rodney to burst out laughing.

"You should see your face!" Rodney gasps out between actual, honest-to-God giggles. "I swear, Sheppard, it's like you're permanently set to 'crash and burn.'"
