Why This Must Be Read: bluespirit_star is another one of my go-to authors. A brilliant artist and writer, she makes John and Rodney come alive, be it in a drabble or a Big Bang story. Make a Wish is a delightful and captivating story. The discovery of an Ancient device proves life changing for John. The device gives him a glimpse of the life he longs to live. I really feel for John in this story. He leads a bittersweet double life here he carries on as normal during the day but gets to spend his nights in a dream world with Rodney.

Excerpt:
John ripped his hands from the globe, the glass dimming as the screen went blank. Jesus! What the hell had just happened? It was like a damn peep show, like the device had read his mind. Oh, shit! What if this wasn’t a long-range sensor at all but some kind of virtual reality thing - a wish fulfilment device that probed a person’s thoughts and gave them a ‘visualisation’ of what they wanted most? It had to be something like that because it had shown him precisely what he wanted - Rodney.
