Why This Must Be Read: This an interesting and twisty story (the author tags it as crack treated seriously) about Rush (a genius scientist, and usually an acerbic loner) being attacked by an alien beast which results in him being temporarily amnestic, and imprinting on Colonel Young, starship Destiny's CMO, like a duckling. We follow them both as Rush slowly figures out who he is again, and as they negotiate his initial need to be with Young all the time. And as the effect wears off, they have to redefine their relationship yet again, and make more lasting choices. An excellent read, and you don't really need to know SGU canon to enjoy it.
“Shit, I think you hit your head,” the face says. “Can you talk, Rush?”
He must be Rush. “Yes,” he says, to his own surprise. “Rush can talk.”
The face looks... relieved? Yes, relieved. Rush smiles again.
“Listen, you got attacked by that creature, I think you might have a concussion,” the face says. Rush really likes the face.
“Okay,” Rush says placidly.
“We need to get back to the gate. Destiny is going to jump in less than ten minutes and I don't want to stay here a minute longer than I have to.” The face looks around anxiously, and Rush feels his own anxiety spike at the sight of it.
“We go together,” Rush says. Rush doesn't want the face to leave him.
The face changes so quickly Rush doesn't know what it means. But when it speaks again it's in a reassuring tone.
“Yeah, of course we'll go together. Can you walk?”
Rush tries to move his limbs. They don't do much more than twitch. Rush can't walk.
“Rush can't walk,” Rush says, and fear makes his mouth dry and his heart beat faster. “We go together!”
"Calm down, Rush, I'm not gonna leave you here,” the face says. Rush smiles at the face, even though he feels like crying.
"Jesus, that thing really did a number on you,” the face says.
