Why this must be read:
Oh my boys.... Some comfort was so called for after these two episodes. I adore how shalott treated what Rodney went through with respect, not treating it as a joke like TPTB did, and how she equates it with some of John's experiences in Afghanistan. And the sheer emotion here!! Dang... I swear you will be feeling this one in your soul, people!! The word flow too... The way this fic weaves from word to word just leaves my jaw on the floor in awe. Shalott is one of my fav authors in two fandoms, and this fic just illustrates why!
ETA: Changed the story link, 'cause silly me, I only now realized you can still leave comments easily from that link as well as LJ. Silly, tired me... Link changed! :)
Story Summary: The calm after the storm, or the lack thereof.
