Why This Must Be Read: This is a lovely bit of friendship between Rodney and John while John’s recovering from the Iratus bug transformation in Conversion. Light medical angst leavened with humor. Short and sweet!


Rodney had been up on the Daedalus for a week working with that little bastard Hermiod, and he hadn't seen Sheppard since the last minute aversion of death by Iratus bug/Wraith retrovirus. He had been getting updates on Sheppard's condition in the daily databurst, so he knew it was going as well as could be expected; and besides, the updates made it plain that Sheppard didn't want visitors. But once he beamed back down to Atlantis, Teyla said, "Go to see him, you will feel better."

Rodney really doubted that. "I don't see why I can't wait until he's not--" He waved his hands, but Teyla kept her expression of annoyingly polite inquiry, as if she had no idea what he meant. He gave in, finishing, "Bug-like."

That was such a nice little fic. I feel all gooey after reading it. I love worried Rodney. Oh, poor John.
