Author’s summary: John was an elite bodyguard, willing to lay his life on the line in the pursuit of protecting someone whose life was in danger. Then, something happened. And he quit, left his entire life behind to choose early retirement. Now, years later, an old friend has come to ask for his help–a friend of hers is in danger, though he refuses to acknowledge it, and John is her last, best, hope of keeping one Dr. Rodney McKay safe and alive. John reluctantly agrees, as a favor to an old friend, but in the back of his mind, he’s still wondering if he can do this. If he’s lost his edge. It starts off easily enough but then things start slowly escalating. When he starts to fall for the client, when danger hits close to home and memories resurface, can John still do what he’s been trained to do, keep Rodney safe, and protect his heart?
Why This Must Be Read: This compelling story immediately draws you in. It’s an amazing, wonderfully created AU that conveys all their personalities so well and throws them into danger, emergencies, and the expected emotional fallout. Dragonwing really knows how to create suspense and entertainment. Reading their fic is like watching a great movie. And it’s so fun to see how they integrate John and Rodney’s banter, as well as the different characters and their peculiar traits. Every word is a joy to read—every moment and every emotion is so captivating, believable, and in character. And with the whole Atlantis team coming into play, all of this makes you keep forgetting it’s an AU. It’s so good, so exciting, and so familiar! Simply a must-read!
