Okay...so I'm currently building a shrine in your honour... ;)
Yeah, when I'm writing the main fic it's definitely going to be a challenge to get the reactions to John's transformations both times around, simply because, as you say, of course they're going to get attached. It doesn't matter that Rodney's lost Sheppard when it boils down to how they treat John, simply because John is a child and they have to take care of him as such. The fact that they grow to love him and then have to lose him is bound to be hard, especially since they've spent three years trying to do just that.
Seriously, thank you so much for your review, I apreciate it so much. I'll be working on the main fic as soon as I'm done with the prompt fic I signed up to write.
