I really love it. The appropriate amount of John angst - always nice - plus a bewildered Rodney, yay.
- When John pulled back he smiled at Rod fondly. “The great, unflappable Rod McKay. Mr. Cool. The biggest flirt in two galaxies. You are such a phony.” -
Yes, I can see it. Rod being the clueless one, despite the leather jacket and the cool talk in the 'other' Atlantis...
I love that you've given the other team members cameo-appearances, too. Ronon simply drinking the ceremonial cup dry, while John and Rodney squabble in the background, heh.
Yay! I'm so glad you like it! I tried really hard to write it from John's POV but he refused to cooperate. That line of John's is one of my favorites too. Underneath all that cool, Rod's just a guy like everybody else. :o)

Heh, I know how that works, happens to me every so often too. And I really don't mind that it's not John POV, the story is great and does the characters justice, that's all a good story needs IMO. I'm all for letting your creativity run wild as long as it get's this kind of result. After all, you as the author should enjoy the creative process as well as I, the reader, the finished product. ;-)
