Aghhhhhh the feels
I just finished watching Trinity and Rodney looses Johns trust at the end of the episode, and oh god the mcshep feels.
The reason for losing of trust is still a mystery to me.
“It was far too much effort to maintain a look of disapproval, so Harold didn’t bother. He thought instead of how easily John accepted the fact of his constructed identities, those levels of detail that verged on pure idiosyncrasy. The recognition was calming; grounding. Nathan would have called it a pathology; John Reese only ever seemed entertained. Perhaps it was only that John had spent so much of his own life in covert operations—but then there had been the dog-eared Burdett novel tucked beside the blanket in Harold’s bedroom this morning, not a valuable edition, nothing special. Hundreds of books in the condo’s library and still John had managed to root out the one piece of authenticity in the entire building. If this was still a game played between them, Harold couldn’t help but acknowledge that John had been winning it for some time.”

In the twenty-two months that I’ve been assigned to Rodney McKay, there has never been a dull moment. Yeah, I can be that specific with the length of my servitude…twenty-two months, eleven days, and about fourteen hours since the bastard had first intentionally poisoned me. I am a little fuzzy on the number of minutes, thanks in part to not being able to see my watch with my hands tied above my head, but mainly because I’ve been fading in and out of consciousness thanks to the beating that Goa Jie’s henchman gave me before stringing me up.
Like I said, never a dull moment.
