This is driving me crazy. Someone mentioned this story, which I've read at least twice, but now I can't find the link.
It starts on a planet in which the team is racing back to the jumper, under fire, with a badly wounded John. (Head injury?) Rodney is tasked with hauling John, I think, and feels a sharp pain in his back but is yelled at to keep moving. I can't remember whether this was Ford-era or Ronon-era team. Rodney pilots the jumper back to Atlantis and everybody swarms around John to usher him to the infirmary, and Rodney stays behind in the jumper to catch his breath or wait for his back to hurt less or something. Only something's wrong, and John later discovers that no one knows where Rodney is ....
I think those details are right. I could
swear it's on fanfiction.net, but I simply cannot find it, so I might be wrong about that. Anyone have the link? Thanks!
Found!
