Author's Summary: Harlequin AU (no Stargate). Kaleb's long gone, Jeannie's got a career, Madison has problems, Rodney's got Inner Power!, and Sheppard. . . is pretty much the same.

Review:
Follow Rodney's journey has he learns to be a parent (to Madison), meets the love of his life, and discovers his Inner Power (exclamation mark).

Rodney and Madison get sent by Madison's counsellor to Teyla's Discover Your Inner Power! class, where they meet one Jona Sheppard. Featuring a broken-and-awkward Rodney, an even more broken-and-awkward John, a slightly-bratty Madison, and wonderfully fleshed-out secondary characters. Through the exchange of snarky comments and dates with (and without) Madison, Rodney and John slowly begin to understand the meaning of "you have the power to change your life".

There's much more to this story than your regular harlequin romance, but you'll have to make that discovery yourself. Busaikko is a terrific writer. In her wonderfully detailed story, I think you will find more than one hundred happy things. Highly recommended.
