Frozen Into Marble
Continuation from Thawing From The Inside. This picks up at the beginning of Season 2 and goes from there.TTFI was fundamentally a hopeful story; this one is a bit less sweet. No explicit Rodney/anybody else, but some Pining John here and there. After all, McKay's apparently still holding out hope for the white picket fence and wife and kids.
"O fie upon this single life. Forgo it.We read how Daphne, for her peevish flight,Became a fruitless bay-tree; Syrinx turnedTo the pale empty reed; AnaxareteWas frozen into marble: whereas thoseWhich married, or proved kind unto their friends,Were, by a gracious influence, transshapedInto the olive, pomegranate, mulberry:Became flowers, precious stones, or eminent stars.”Antonio (3.2.24-32)(The Duchess of Malfi, John Webster)
