Hot, sentimental, touching and beautiful.

Echoes the chrissie sentiment along with the pr0ny sex. I had a vivid image of the boys in a 69 position when I was reading that scene!

Great story... can't wait for all the authors to be unveiled :D

Wow.
I'd like to offer more coherent praise, but my brain melted somewhere during the sex.

Wow, that was damn hot. I loved the progression of their relationship, it was so honest and raw. Thanks for that delicious read.

...I could feel every touch, every gentle stroke on skin.

The slow tenderness was gorgrous.

I loved the way that although Rodney was so insecure and self conscious, John was also just as broken in his own way.
Oooh the angst and love... a perfect mix.

I'm off to go hug my teddy bear now...

This is beautiful, I love the slow-moving intensity of it and how they're each a little broken in their own way

"I'm deep. I want to be loved for my body, not my DVDs.

HELL YES! Everything I find hot about Rodney, thank you! *smug*

I love, love, love, this so much. You are completely fucking awesome whoever you are. *giddy*

**awestruck**

I... I'm completely overwhelmed.

I *felt* every second there in John's room. Rodney's stunned incomprehension at John's genuine affection and desire, John's internal struggle to match Rodney's inate courage with true honesty of his own, everything.

"Raw." "Hot." "Slow-moving intensity." Breathtaking.

YES.

This was a staggeringly beautiful piece. I was sorry to see it end.

I'm going to go somewhere quiet and slowly turn this one over and over in my head, just to admire and marvel at for a while...

Oh magnificent mystery author,

I've been craving a long, angsty fic where John and Rodney actually talk to each other - intense, meaningful conversations that they can't possibly have with anyone else. This hit the spot like wow.

Please, when the big unveiling happens, let me know who you are so I can read everything else you've written.

Wow. Unable to say anything else because brains have oozed out from the guh.

I'm impressed with the way you worked the honesty of emotions into that without making it sound all mushy. A great story and you played it wonderfully from start to finish. Wow!

Okay. Wow. Amazing. Hot, but in a clumsy and totally believable first time way. I absolutely adored this. Amazing. Thanks so much for this.

That was so lovely. Loved seeing all their fears and concerns opened up and gently dealt with. So romantic without being too mushy :-)

Swet, angsty, romantic, clumsy, with so much bravery on the part of our favourite cowardly lion, and from John too. A fic to snuggle up with on a cold winter's night. lovely.

Oh, nice! This story left me with a wonderful warm fuzzy feeling. Favourite parts: The Atlantis Christmas Tree made of "borrowed" emergency lights, John giving Rodney his coffee, and of course all the lovely angst and comfort.
Also, long! This was a pleasure to read, thank you.

Ha! This was totally the *only* one I correctly identified. Perhaps because I love your work so much?

Meep! I just found out about this story, and I love your writing! Is the story somewhere, still? The link is not working.
