sga ficlet: His End of the Fight

[xparrot]

Argh. December-January is invariably my worst time for writing; the winter gloom murders my creativity, though it hasn't even gotten below freezing here in Kyoto. This is ticking me off because I want to be fic'ing so dang badly. Maybe when the holidays are over. In the meantime all I'm able to manage is brief spurts like this pointless little Rodney & Ronon moment (well, not totally pointless, because there needs to be more Rodney & Ronon moments, in show and out.) 900 words of unnecessarily sappy gen fic.

Read it on AO3

I love when Ronon gets smart

Nicely done and oh, so true.

Awwww! That's just lovely. I adore those two together, and I loved Ronon's thoughts on Rodney-sitting duty.

Three years on Atlantis and he was still getting used to the idea that there were people who maybe actually sort of didn't dislike being around him.

Oh, Rodney. *pets*

This is sweet. I love Ronon and Rodney moments. And the fight scene in Vengeance was almost touching: Rodney decked out like a turtle, determined to become more proficient in self defense with Ronon's help.

he's just never wanted to ask, hadn't wanted to know if it was only on Sheppard's orders.

That sentence gives such a nice look into the team dynamic!

you know, it's totally true -- we see Ronon watching Rodney work a lot these days. I like this.

Such a lovely look at the two of them. The dialogue feels absolutely right, and it's sweet without being saccharine.

Much enjoyed, thanks.

How lovely. You captured their voices very well.

Oh this is a lovely moment, thank you.

I don't tend to read much 'gen' fic (being something of a McShepperholic!) but Rodney/Ronon interaction can occasionally tempt me away from the slash ;)

And this was well worth the diversion. I love how these two interact on the show; there is real affection and respect - even if it is usually hidden behind threats on one side and bluster on the other - and you've captured that beautifully here.

Thank you.

Very them, I can certainly see that happening.

Very nice; it all rings true. My favorite line is this:
"Have to be good enough to make it until I get there."
So very Ronon.

Rodney and Ronon together can be a lot of fun; they click in the weirdest way.

I love getting to see moments of Rodney's competence, coming up with one more fix to protect his team. And Ronon recognizing it and being willing to say so - wonderful!

very charming

I like this bit of bonding. (g)

great moment between McKay & Ronon, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Ach, lovely again! ^^ I do love Rodney and Ronon together--there's a sort of yin/yang thing going there, that makes for a fascinating dynamic that too few writers seem interested in exploring. Good job!

Oh man, I loved this! Especially the bit where Rodney "stopped caring how often his gesturing hands would accidentally smack into an indecently broad, leather-coated chest." I thought that part was beautiful, and could SO see that happening. Also, your icon with Ronon hugging Rodney from behind; where does that image come from?
