John Sheppard never thought he’d end up living in another galaxy, and he’d never thought that he would ever get bitten by a vampire and turned. But both happen, and while he is happy with the first, he’s struggling with the second and all its repercussions: a bad sun allergy, a weird diet, and pointy teeth.

Getting bitten by a werewolf is bad enough, but it gets worse when living on a planet with five moons.

Rodney and John have been in a relationship for years, despite all the difficulties that arise when two subs with no dominant tendencies try to have a relationship. When Jennifer Keller arrives on Atlantis, the two of them decide that things are going to change.

Rodney is in a relationship with Jennifer, but she doesn't at all think that that means he has to spend less time with his best friend. John seems to think so, though, and this bothers her more and more for reasons she can't really explain to herself.
