Author's summary: An off-world mission gone awry leaves Rodney fighting for his life. John should've known.
Why This Must Be Read: Dive into an emotional story with everything a good SGA story should have. It starts with a sacred temple, an overzealous Rodney, a tense John, a diplomatic Teyla, and a stoic Ronon. Combine that with Rodney-whump, a caring team, angst, and a guilt-ridden John, and you'll get this wonderful, intense story from John's POV with heart-gripping hurt/comfort, all centered around Rodney.
It's also a journey from Rodney being a pain in the ass to the center of John's world. And, of course, you can look forward to a heartwarming happy ending that leaves you with a smile.
Their return through the Gate is uneventful. Elizabeth is there to meet them when they arrive and John is feeling charitable enough now that he doesn’t even mention Rodney’s faux pas. He promises to have Teyla fill her in more on the trade agreement she’d been able to broker before he leads his team down to the locker room, Rodney strangely quiet the whole way.
John’s about halfway through removing his gear when he glances over at Rodney, one eyebrow raised to find him sitting on the bench, still in his tac vest and thigh holster. “What’s wrong with you?” He asks, kicking Rodney’s boot gently with his foot to get his attention and Rodney startles, lifting his gaze to meet John’s.
“What? Uh, nothing. Nothing, it’s just… my stomach feels a little…” He gestures vaguely and Ronon laughs behind them, clapping Rodney on the shoulder.
“Must have been that third bowl. One of our commanders back on Sateda had a large appetite, but I think even you could out eat him, McKay.”
“Gee, thanks,” Rodney frowns as John goes back to hanging up his vest, surreptitiously glancing over at the other to find that he does actually look a little green around the gills.
“You wanna go see Beckett?” John offers after a moment.
“No, no. Chewbacca’s probably right,” Rodney says as he unstraps his holster and stands, shrugging off his tac vest. “We all had the same thing, and you’re all fine.”
John just shrugs. It’s not the first time Rodney’s eaten himself to a stomachache and he’s pretty sure it won’t be the last.
“Alright,” he says, clapping Rodney on the shoulder, a little more gently than he’d been earlier in the day. “If anything changes though…”
“Yeah, yeah. I know the drill.”
“Alright. Debriefing in an hour. I’ll see you there.”
“Yeah,” Rodney agrees. “See you.”
John does not actually see Rodney later.
At least not while he’s conscious.
