The Shrine is such a powerful episode, arguably my favorite, but I have to work up to re-watching. It just destroys me, all the moments you call out. And the way the very last name Rodney remembers (even when it's not clear he knows his own anymore) is John's... that cemented McShep for me forever.

I'm glad to see the other fics folks listed above; I'm betting I'll have to parcel out reading them, too. =)
