Brief summary:

A unique perspective on Rodney and his departure from earth offered by an unusual OC, his cat. It shouldn't work and yet somehow it's perfect. Stylistically this story is perfect. Short, straightforward sentences and a lack of contractions give just a hint of a non-standard pov without overwhelming the story or feeling gimicky. Sad but in no way sappy, this is a perfect example of how great an expiremental and risky to attempt fic can be.

Brief summary:

A quietly perfect Rodney/Teyla coda to Critical Mass. tielan's Rodney pov is lovely. Awkward but sincere, he's the perfect antidote for Teyla's grief,his concern for his teammate shing through even when he's tripping over his own tongue. I love how Teyla and Rodney relate to each other here, there's mutual respect yet also a sweet awkwardness from both of them that I just love.
