Why This Must Be Read: Set after The Siege, this is a brilliant take on the aftermath seen from Rodney's perspective. Back on earth, Rodney finds it impossible to relax and sleep. We get to see the desperate measures Rodney takes as he tries to find respite from his own thoughts. The story is also a great example of John and Rodney's friendship.
