::squee!:: I know I told you this already, but I'm so *very* happy that you like the fanfic! A Better Fate is absolutely one of my favorites. I remember when I first started reading it, I was a little worried because of the whole visiting Sheppard's parents thing. They could have been really horrible. Or they could have been really too good to believe. But the author worked it just right and Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard were fantastic and real. It's also probably one of my favorite looks at a progression of the relationship between John and Rodney.
And looking back over it now, there are so many little moments between them that I just love. And part of that is because they both seem so real. Because some of those moments between them aren't perfect, but because of that, well, those imprefect moments become perfect because it's them and they care deeply about each other. And real life isn't perfect anyway.
Or something. I'm a sap. And John and Rodney make me sappy. I've got another recommendation for you sometime that has a completely different spin on John's family.
