OH, this was great fun - I had no idea what was going on at first, it was intriguing to figure it out along with Rodney. Poor Rodney - in so much pain but more denial, I liked how the emotion was mostly subdued but always there, and he and John's banter and concern was so them, all the way to the sweet ending. (And hee, Rodney is such a tiffin (whatever that is!) and such a McSpock besides....)
