Why This Must Be Read: This is a hot and twisty story where John gets mind-whammied by an alien drug so that he has to do everything Rodney says. It seems like non-con, but is it? Sabinelagrande's use of second person POV is masterful and makes the story much more immediate and compelling. It really adds to the sense that John's not in control, and makes the ending that much more powerful.
It burns when the guard shoves the needle into your arm and injects you with whatever it is that's supposed to make you behave. You've listened to just enough of the standard evil villain monologue to know what's coming next; all she has to do is speak your name, and you're all hers.
She smirks at you, savoring the moment, her mouth opening to form the words; but before she can, one of the guards screams, and you both startle.
In that instant, the second between the two halves of your life, Rodney shouts, "John, look at me!" and your head snaps around, automatic, your eyes finding him immediately. Your whole body leans toward him without your mind's permission, like a plant to the sun.
