This is just gloriously sci-fi and sexy to boot. You really get the desperation in Rodney (and John) across so well, by the end I was aching for it too. And of course, I read this right after my Queer Theory class, today's discussion being on homosexual paranoia and it's manifestations in today's society, so every word of this rang horrifyingly true.
The smile John gave him, then, was worth fighting for: this battle and a million more.
