Aw, ::blushes:: thank you. [I don't think I've ever heard of an amnesia-fic being called pretty before.]
But just be grateful that I didn't make the amnesia process as long as I'd intended to. John wouldn't have been merely eliciting pity, he would probably have been miserable and semi-suicidal from hopelessness.
The inner gentleman I believe is a default for John (where he always allowed others to have what they wanted and never admitted - even to himself - what he deserved to have). In this case, he would have been content even if Rodney had never remembered their past, as long as there was just a hint of a chance that they could have a future together. In John's philosophy of "leave no one behind" - he was the one who would ultimately sacrifice (i.e. leave behind) his own happiness. But, ::sighs in relief:: it's a good thing he didn't have to.
Thank you again for visiting one of my other fics. And, um, liking it. ::giggles and runs away::
