Set in the VEGAS’verse. Rodney is wearing a wedding band in this universe. “...where alternate versions of you and I play out events in ways you can't…possibly imagine." John actually survives and is convalescing. Rodney visits a few times but only when Sheppard isn’t awake. He knows he shouldn’t be there, but of course he’s drawn to John and can’t stay away. This Rodney wasn't born to this Earth, he’s stuck here from a rift in space-time. He’s emotionally cold and ruthless because he misses his life, and doesn’t care who he needs to destroy to get back to it. He’s prickly with John when they first meet because he’s angry with this version of John who has wasted his life and his potential. His John is a hero and just happens to be his husband in their universe. As he starts to get to know this John, maybe Rodney starts to believe what he said... "I don't think there's much difference between you…and that other John Sheppard I met. It's amazing how one incident can entirely alter the course of your life."
