Why This Must Be Read: This is both an excellent story of friendship with a bit of hurt/comfort added in, and also werewolf fic! - hitherto unknown to me, so a real find! Rodney's a werewolf who thought coming to Pegasus would stop him from transforming, but no such luck, as they both find out when imprisoned on a mission. It's a lovely read.
"McKay?" John was on his feet now, trying to peer into the blackness in the other corner but seeing only the dimmest outline of Rodney's foot.
"Just, please, just stay there, stay still," Rodney whispered. "I can't, I can't, it's so small and we're trapped I'm an idiot I thought I escaped it I thought I was free I can't oh god I need—"
John stood, barely breathing, as Rodney's rough litany got lower, became almost a growl. "McKay!" he said sharply and was relieved to hear Rodney take in a deep breath, the way Rodney would before he stopped panicking and saved them all. The foot pulled back into the darkness. "You need what, exactly? What the hell is going on?"
Rodney laughed, a high-low hitch of breath that made John want to clap his hands over his ears. "Look up."
John looked, following the dim light to where it was coming in through the grate at the top of the hole. The light was getting steadily stronger; a sliver of moon was just starting to be visible along one edge. "I don't see anything, Rodney."
"Just the moon," Rodney said roughly, his voice dark like whiskey, tattered around the edges. "The fucking full moon."
