You know, it's not just the language and the way you pull us into John's headspace, the release he's finding that's alternately hypnotic and exhilarating, and it's not just Rodney's thoroughgoing tenderness, and it's not just the clear-eyed maturity of the two of them in going about getting what they need. It's all that plus my other bullet-proof kink: they're both so goddamn fucking competent. Both of them know exactly what they're doing, and they're unapologetically good at it.

(And bonus points for Rodney!competence in other spheres: watching a beautifully-written Rodney berating morons will never get old. Extra bonus points for including Apple gadget!porn.)
