Why This Must Be Read: Rodney accidentally irradiates John in the lab, and agonises when he thinks he's killed him. The story's full of the drama of the disaster, Rodney's personal drama of guilt and grief, and his emotional upheaval as he figures out his true feelings for John. It's gripping, with great characterisation and a satisfying ending.
He turned back to face the window, staring down into the isolation chamber below. He didn’t need another new reputation to live down. He was going to be known as the man who killed John Sheppard.
“Rodney, you need to eat.”
His stomach rumbled at her gentle words, but not with hunger. He’d thrown up once already, after he’d realized what he’d done and implemented the emergency measures. After he’d sealed the lab, and rushed John into decontamination. Stupid, stupid, stupid. The words echoed now in his brain, reminding him once again what a fucking idiot he’d been, worse that any of the minions he’d yelled at in the past for similar, thoughtless errors in judgment. Every time he thought about what he’d done, his heart rate would elevate, thready and nauseating, as his brain circled back around again to the mistake that had lead them here.
