Summary
When the Pegasus parasite begins erasing everything that makes Rodney McKay who he is, John becomes the last thing anchoring him to himself. Through sleepless nights and impossible choices, John holds him together with equal parts desperation and devotion - until Keller intervenes, forcing him to face what it’s cost him to care this much.
After the solution The Shrine provided, the team begins to heal. Everyone except them. John can’t stop hovering, and Rodney can’t stop remembering the things John said when he thought no one was listening.
Love, duty, and survival have always blurred together in Pegasus. But when caring turns into needing, and needing becomes something John can’t hide anymore, both men have to learn what comes after saving each other.
A story about memory, burnout, and the kind of love that endures being forgotten.

Or, another The Shrine Interlude

Summary
John Sheppard has made a habit out of surviving, but even he’s running out of ways to hide what it’s cost him. After a mission gone wrong leaves John clinging to life, Rodney McKay finds himself keeping vigil for a man who never stays still long enough to be safe.
But recovery has a way of forcing old walls to crumble. Between the deadly silences, the nervous laughter, and the nights when neither of them can sleep, John and Rodney learn what it means to be.***
Or the one where John almost dies (again). Rodney refuses to let go (again). And somewhere between blood loss, flowers, and late-night conversations, they stop pretending.

Summary
When he was in sixth grade, Rodney McKay spent several hours being interrogated by the CIA, who decided they’d rather he was working with them than potentially against them. The same year, John Sheppard realized the Air Force would never let him fly since he was color-blind, and decided he’d join the Army instead, when he was old enough. Unsurprisingly, they managed to meet anyway...
