Why This Must Be Read:This is one of the few stories that talks of canon McKeller that doesn't make me wince and want to run screaming from the room. It's short, it's very sweet and it's how I imagined Rodney felt.
It’s not that he doesn’t love Jennifer. He does. She’s smart and funny and cute and trying to make him be his best.
He really, truly loves her. He wants her to be happy. He knows that those two conditions are ones his parents never met and ones that he sees Jeannie achieving and wants so desperately to emulate.
But when he thinks of growing old (a prospect that dims steadily with each day in Pegasus), she is not the person beside him on the matching, ergonomically-designed, with built-in back massager, rocking chair.
No, besides him he always sees John. John, whose hair is graying around the temples (but still has more than Rodney, the distinguished looking bastard.) John, who is finally smiling, completely at peace with their world as they rock together on one of Atlantis’ balconies.
