nihilvanum's words:
my dear
the problem is that
you love him so much
you would allow him
to drag you all the way to hell
if it meant you could
hold his hand
on the way down

Date: 2012-05-17 12:53 am (UTC)I can see the basis for McKay/Beckett, though I confess McKay/Weir eludes me. I can see Rodney having feelings for her, but I always had the impression that she liked Sheppard. I'm such an OTP type though, it's difficult for me sometimes to read fic where they're with other people.
I can't see the Rodney/Jennifer relationship lasting long-term. It's my head!canon that she stays behind on Earth as well, because the two of them have realized that their relationship just wouldn't work. Jennifer wants someone nicer, Rodney probably finds her youth exhausting, and as you said - Rodney was going for what he thought he should want. Also, he may have had Jeannie's words ringing in his head from Miller's Crossing, where she essentially says take what you can get, because you won't do any better. And then Jennifer comes along, and she's beautiful and young and she likes him, so why not? And then he ignores the problems with their relationship.
I've read some of your stuff before, and I know I've loved it, so thank you so much for the link ♥ I'm sorry for such a large paragraph about McKeller, I have quite a lot of thoughts and feelings about them.
