What an amazing story! Thanks so much for writing it.
Toward the end, I thought you were giving a possible backstory to the Rodney McKay we met in "The Road Not Taken". And then you had this Rodney think about that other Rodney to use him as a model on how to get where he needs to be to get back to Atlantis! I love a story where I can point and say, Yes! I remember that happening! You had so many of these moments.
It does seem like some vast cosmic joke is being played on Rodney. Why can't he just be happy?
I loved how you cited all the sacrifices Rodney has made and how he's always managed to regroup and carry on. This is the man who dedicated his life in getting Sheppard back from the future to save Teyla, after all. This is Rodney. He will make it right.
One thing puzzles me. What does "The cake is a lie" mean? I'm sure I'm a bad fan for not getting that.
