This is just so freaking gorgeous. I love how you write John as having so much trouble relaxing out of his "I'm responsible for everyone's safety" mindset. He seems like a really intense man underneath that carefully constructed laconic exterior, and that he'd have a difficult time truly relaxing.
I agree that Rodney would be excellent in helping John get to that place, too. I wonder if there's ever a time when the tables are turned, and Rodney's the one who needs to be taken down to that place where he's not worrying all the time whether or not he'll be called upon to save everyone. Would love to see that written, too.
Also? Serenity by Godsmack is a wonderful song to listen to while reading this excellent fic. -----}-@
