Why This Must Be Read: This is a friendship story from Rodney's POV, where Rodney notices John's a bit flat and wants to cheer him up, Kavanagh hoards music MP3s, and John discovers something special about the puddlejumpers. Written between seasons and very slightly jossed, but not so it matters. Highly recommended - funny, with great characterisation. And - bonus!bluflamingo did a remix of part of the story: Necessary Things (Settling the Balance)
"No go on Kavanagh," he muttered to Zelenka as the other man sat down next to him, and Radek sighed.
"Wonderful. My choice of Vivaldi or Brazilian techno, and if I do not listen to music while I work then I have to listen to Gorsen's muttering. Talk, talk, talk while he works."
"I'd share my music, except, wait, you wiped all my mp3s off my laptop," Rodney said.
Zelenka looked exasperated. "Yes, I am most terribly sorry. If we had had to flee the Wraith, I am sure we would have been consoled in our exile by the collected works of They Might Be Giants." He held up one hand in the air and said, "Remnants of Ancient database." He held up the other hand as if weighing scales. "Particle Man. Such a dilemma it was."
"Oh, shut up," Rodney said, conceding the point.
