Author's Summary: What happened in the three hours Rodney was missing?
Why This Must Be Read: This is a series of two fics among LogicGunn’s first works and it really impressed me. Each story is written from a different perspective, that of John and Rodney respectively, and this is one of the reasons the series is so intense and full of details. It starts mysteriously and emotionally and though the whump is a key event, it’s not overwhelming. Instead, the fic focuses on the feelings and actions of everyone in the face of the events. It’s a team fic about feelings of angst and doubt, of failure and regret, of acceptance and respect, of trust and care. We get to know different sides of the characters and how they evolve throughout the story. And last but not least it is a fic about the blossoming of love, tentative and endearing and it leaves you with a warm feeling and a smile.
“McKay!” he bangs on the door to the shower room but there’s no answer. “McKay! I’m coming in!”
Rodney’s in the shower furthest from the door. When John peers through the faux-glass his irritation instantly turns to stomach churning horror. Rodney’s forearms are braced on the back wall, his head resting against them, the water running down his back. Jesus...fuck...his back. He’s covered in bruises; groups of three, four, five little ones clumped together, all down his arms, either side of his back, his ass, his thighs.
John opens the shower. “Hey buddy, how’s it going?”
Rodney doesn’t respond, so John turns off the water, grabs the towel hanging outside and gently wraps it round his waist.
“McKay...what happened?”
“John?”
“What’s with the bruises?”
Rodney frowns and looks at his arms. “I…I’m not sure.”
