oh, man! There's so much to love about this fic, but I especially love the characterization of John & Jennifer. He's SO messed up & she THINKS she's not. Especially when she's thinking about her & Rodney's "perfect life" on earth (because there IS such a thing & of course Atlantis & the "terrible space adventure" (and Sheppard) are the only things keeping them from perfection). And her thinking that they'd start a family if she wanted-- because her wishes, wants, hopes and dreams are OBVIOUSLY the only things of importance.
(Not that we all don't feel that way to a point, but you've gotta wonder the backstory to a Keller who thinks like that...what kind of fairytale world was she promised by her daddy & mommy?)
At the same time, Jennifer does have a point about John's darkness-although I really wished I could be the devil on her shoulder saying things like "Well, he IS a trained killer, you idiot. He's going to have some darkness to him." and to point out that she's being a bitch...and maybe a little "you're the one who brought this on yourself cornering Sheppard!"
I really wish I could like Keller, but I just tend to find her annoying, and like her that way too.
