Hem hem. Wonderfully written and very in character for all.

awwww how bitter sweet a moment!

An utterly beautiful story of the moment when someone can't hold it together any longer. That it is surrounded by his team, after the reminder to the reader of how good Rodney generally is at driving people away, makes it all the more poignant.

*sniff* ~wipes tears from eyes~ Buckets of aw. Great description of Rodney's feelings. Good imagery.

Wow! I loved this. Thanks!

Very well written and very moving.

I am so glad this was rec'd over at LJ. I must have missed this one. It was an incredibly touching look at the grief after the events. Heartbreaking and beautiful. The ending could not have been more perfect.

Wow! Love this story, such heartbreak! Oh Rodney! *hugs*

Love how the team comes up to Rodney and just holds him through his break down!

Thanks for sharing this very tender story with us!

You so totally made me cry.

What a touching story. Love the teamyness.

Love the last line.

"he’s still shaking like he’s going to fly apart, but they’re "holding him together". "

Very well put. I especially like the part where Rodney thinks about how odd it is that someone asks him to talk. Moving...

Oh, now this is nice, tre' nice! Thank you!

Wow, this one is intense. Stull, somehow it feels unfinished although not as badly as the episode itself. Would you consider dealing with the emotional fall-out of those events in a longer follow-up?

Exquisite
