Why This Must Be Read: The day I stop reccing this fic is the day I have passed on from this mortal coil. But then I’ll still be reccing it in the afterlife, so…
This is a lovely treatment of the relationship between John and Rodney, in which John hasn’t recovered from the Iratus virus and has gone full bug-lizard. Rodney really goes out of his way to make sure this new version of John is comfortable and as happy as possible, and it’s a little heart-breaking. But also, the bond between them is just as strong as ever, and the ending will leave you full of happy tears and warm fuzzy feelings. Or your money back! LOL!
Plus, gushing over this fic is what initially made Taste and I friends, so I do have other sentimental attachments to it. But it’s a great fic and everyone should read it. At least twice.
"STOP!" Elizabeth's voice was so loud that she startled herself; Rodney shut up like she'd slapped him. "Don't you dare imply this is easy for me," she said. "I look at that creature in isolation and I see the exact same man you do. But it's not that man anymore, and we have no right to prolong that existence directly against John's wishes."
"John's not here anymore, Elizabeth," Rodney said. "His wishes are no longer relevant." He blinked at his own words and his eyes went liquid again, as if he'd only just understood what that meant. "We're the ones he left behind. And...and I don't know about you, but I'm not prepared to go down there and kill a living creature just for the sake of...a dead man's request. Even if it's just an animal now, don't we owe it better than that?"
Elizabeth sighed. She put her palms on her desk and looked down at the space between her hands. She hated how relieved she was, how eager to go back on her word if it meant no blood on her hands. "All right," she said finally, looking up. "All right. We'll do it your way. Show me your plans."
It showed just how upset Rodney was that he didn't even look smug. But when he started flipping through the screen pages of note after note, explaining them all in minute detail, he was so adept and eager that for a moment Elizabeth could pretend that nothing had changed.
