Why This Must Be Read: This is an amazing fic from the early years of SGA, written by velocitygrass, an author I love so much. Don't let you be scared by the summary; be assured of a happy ending. Although it's told from John's perspective, it reveals so much about Rodney. It's an amazing, insightful, and touching declaration of friendship and love. It may be short but it's filled to the brim with emotion and you shouldn't miss out on this awesome work of devotion.


John,

by the time you read this, I will be dead.

Which is rather unfortunate, and while I can't help speculating about how I might have met my end—and sincerely hoping that it was mostly painless and perhaps heroic, saving worlds or at least lives—it's not the point of this letter.

I wanted to let you know how much it meant to me to have had you as a friend.

I never had a lot of friends. In fact I could go a step further and say that I merely had acquaintances who tolerated and maybe even liked me. But this changed for me on Atlantis and a big part of that change was meeting you.
