Why This Must Be Read: John is drugged with Pegasus truth serum and says more than he means to on a variety of topics. This has some nice insights into both John and Rodney’s perception of John. Lovely writing.

There are twelve different ways in which an away mission can prove to be a tedious and soul-destroying waste of time. There are at least 83 ways in which stargate travel to other worlds can be uncomfortable, irritating, or mildly unpleasant. And there are, basically, eight ways in which things can go badly enough to make Rodney wish he’d come down with a virulent case of food poisoning and stayed back in Atlantis, crouched over his self-cleaning Ancient toilet. It’s not a food-poisoning kind of day yet, but with the ambush at the gate, the prison cell accommodations, and the way the Miglari dragged Sheppard away over two hours ago and still haven’t brought him back, all signs are starting to point to yes.

Rodney to the rescue with a well-constructed spreadsheet! I love this fic so much.
