SGA fic: Mechanics of Coping

[xparrot]

I got a couple longer things in the works, but keep getting sidetracked. This one isn't an episode tag, though it was inspired by the end of "This Mortal Coil," which I've only rewatched...er...less times than I've rewatched the end of "Miller's Crossing"?

SGA: Mechanics of Coping {6,292 words}
gen, angst; 4th season, post "This Mortal Coil", vague spoilers
After yet another accident on Atlantis, Sheppard goes looking for McKay, and finds him somewhere unexpected.

^^ I'm back...(cue ominous music) and grateful to be here, too, reading yet another lovely fic! You've captured so much here that is perfect: the mood and tone, Rodney's motivations and John's, and Ronon's contributions. And although it's not entirely the point of the story, you've focused on something rarely acknowledged--just how vital Radek is to the expedition, and to Rodney's work. Makes me want to see more of him in the show--though I do think the writers have been pretty deft in their handling of him as a secondary character.

Anyhow, great job, I enjoyed it very much! ^^

Hee, you are back! (really, such lovely long comments, I can't tell you how I appreciate them!)

Radek is an absolutely crucial char, in the expedition and in the show; Rodney's got a lot of foils, but only Zelenka can keep up with his science, mostly. I adore him - really should write a story where he's actually conscious for more than a scene ^^;
