Oh, so very much YAY. I've literally been looking forward to your comment all day! *hides*
Rodney's delusions really were the carrot of this fic. If I had needed to write it in reverse order, with John's part last, I might not have gotten through it, because MAN OH MAN especially the jealousy whirlwind thing was so extremely fun! And I'm a gigantic dork because I tried to make each one of them 200 words less or thereabouts than the previous one, so they spun downwards, if that makes sense.
I haven't mastered the art of the unhappy but satisfying ending yet, heh. I have this obsession with symmetry (hence the numbering pattern, with each section a delusion till they all mashed together and the next one was five numbers later), and the idea of John starting the clock at 45:00 and them starting their relationship at 0:00 really delighted me.
IN SHORT, yay, I'm so very glad you liked it, and thanks so much for telling me what about it you liked! *hugs and twirls*
