sga fic: His Dinner with Jeannie

[xparrot]

gnine had the original idea around which this story is built. I've read several "Miller's Crossing" tags with a similar premise, but none of them were quite what we wanted. Our interpretation of Jeannie is slightly different from others I've seen; we're maybe a bit more sympathetic to her than some, and this story reflects that take.

Very nice. Like other I love how John keeps thinking of Rodney as he is talking with her and noting the ways in which she is similar to her brother. Because I think the siblings do share a number of things in common and not just their mannerisms. (A lot of Jeannie's reactions and barbed comments reminded me of Rodney)

Some great peaks into the siblings past...I love the idea of young Rodney teaching Jeannie all about higher math...

Jeannie really is Rodney's sister in every way. And aww, yes, I'm really fond of the idea of Rodney teaching Jeannie math. I think one of the reasons their split was so hard is because Jeannie is one of the few people who can actually talk to Rodney on his intellectual level...and while it's difficult for Rodney to accept his little sister really is that good, it's also a wonderful relationship for him to have.
