Fic: More John/Rodney drabbles

Thought I Was Getting Carat Gold, and What I Got Was You
200 words :: Stargate: Atlantis :: John/Rodney :: 6/24/09 :: warning policy
The thing they both keep wondering is where did it go so wrong?

*

"I'll be gone a while."

John doesn't answer, of course. Rodney doesn't even know why he bothers anymore.

"Two weeks, at least. Maybe longer." Again he pauses, but not even that gets a response out of John.

He kisses John goodbye, pathetically grateful that at least John doesn't deny him that, then reluctantly stands.

"You have everything you need down here," he says, punching in the door code. "It won't be that long, really."

The door slides shut behind him. He double-checks the lock before heading upstairs. Maybe a little break from each other will be just what they need.

It's been almost three weeks if John's count is right. He slept a lot, sometimes for what felt like days, so he might be off. He isn't sure.

He isn't sure about much of anything anymore.

He wakes from another long sleep to an arm across his chest, warm breath on the back of his neck. He doesn't even notice he's being fucked until a few moments later.

"I missed you so much," Rodney murmurs.

John closes his eyes again, tries to will himself back to sleep.

What he hates most is how relieved he is to have Rodney back.

This Feeling Won't Go

"That was..." Rodney reaches out and plucks at her garter. "This is really hot."

*

Later, when they are both loose-limbed and drowsy, when her heart has finally stopped racing, she rolls back towards Rodney, props herself up on one elbow and looks down at him. "So? What d'you think?"

"That was..." Rodney reaches out and plucks at her garter. "This is really hot."

"Yeah?"

"We should do this again sometime." He runs his hand up over her hip, letting it rest warm and solid on her waist, pushing up the hem of her silk camisole. "I never thought you'd look so hot in drag."

"Yeah," John says, but the spell is broken. "We should."

	Oh ow, that second one. I don't know if I'm reading it right, but... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kanata 2009-06-24 01:37 pm UTC (link)
	I meant it to be closeted!pre-transition!mtf!John, with Rodney thinking they're just doing a bit of fun crossdressing. So ow is what I was going for. :) (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yep, that was exactly what I was thinking, so. In that case, may I upgrade to "OW"? Poor John. (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hopefully it will be something they can work out eventually! (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yes - though really, once someone's thought it was a "game", how do you get over that? Almost worse than the subject never being brought up... (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)(Thread)

	My thought was that John has never said anything at all to Rodney about being trans. But really, I think people can get through a lot. :) (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)

	The ambiguity of the first one is totally creepy, which is what I assume you intended. :) And wow, that last one. Ouch. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Thanks! :D

I should find ana & Ces's comments from last night after I posted the second part of the creepy one...

*finds*

kanata: Mine is not so happy!
anatsuno: I WAS JUST SEEING THIS
anatsuno: evil rodney!
cesare: it's really not
anatsuno: or. something.
kanata: Not evil so much as mentally disturbed.
kanata: I'm not sure of all the backstory to it myself.
anatsuno: ah, yes.
cesare: maybe, um! John is sick with something that has made him forget that they are actually very happy together! and Rodney is confining him in quarantine until he is better!
kanata: Hee
cesare: and fucking him altruistically in hopes it brings his memory back! yes!
anatsuno: lalala, fields of daisies
cesare: puppies and rainbows
kanata: :D
anatsuno: :)
cesare: no I mean literally, Rodney is going out of the quarantine rooms and to the... cottage where he and John usually live, and it is surrounded by PUPPIES and a WATERFALL that makes a RAINBOW and soon John will remember everything and they'll be happy there again!
kanata: *patpat* Of course!
cesare: >:[
anatsuno: :D

	dies Puppies! Rainbows! I acutally found myself wondering if this was some kind of post-"Conversion" thing where John didn't come all the way back from his buggy and confused state. (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)(Thread)

	I was definitely thinking of something darker when I wrote it, but it is certainly open to interpretation because it is really ambiguous at that length, and Rodney certainly thinks he's in the right (whether or not he is). (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)(Thread)

	telesilla 2009-06-25 04:39 am UTC (link)
	And you know, if you were writing Rodney-gone-mad, then that's the way I think he'd be, always convinced that he's right. Not like it's much of a leap for him, really. (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)(Thread)

	kanata 2009-06-25 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Definitely. And so much more fun than someone who knows they're doing creepy shit! (Reply to this) (Thread from start)(Parent)
