Notes: Many thanks for miriam for the fantastic beta.


Rodney's not an epic adventure, broad and brave, or a beautiful tragedy, noble and honorable. He's just a man who pales in comparison to the fantasies John lives out on the page every day. But he loves him.

As the_acrobat said, this lovely fic is now part of Bookverse canon! I've been coming back to reread the story a lot and I really love how you show Rodney trying to unravel the mystery that is John (in any universe!):

That John is still a mystery to him is the worst. In the months they've been together Rodney's learned much about him, but it's little more than anyone else knows. John is an intensely private person who carries everything closely and leaves nothing behind. Rodney's afraid that one day he'll stop coming to the store and there'll be nothing to prove he was ever even there -- no note with his incongruously messy handwriting, no library newsletter with his byline on the children's column, no scarf that smells less like coffee and more like burnt wiring as the days grow colder.

Anyway, I just wanted to reiterate how much I loved your remix, and how now I'm totally inspired to write more Bookverse. *g*

Yay for more Bookverse. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out. :)
