I forgot to comment and say thank you for these! I suspect that Rodney's charm doesn't come across well in posed pictures.
As for your question about the poignancy of the relationship, the closest I can get to answering is this: I still have no idea why these two characters are so close, since I haven't seen any of there interaction, but it's clear that there's a connection there.
It's so strange to read fic with no idea of the canon. I've got a pretty decent grasp of it now, but before I started reading I didn't have a clue. The sum total of my knowledge was "Rodney's a genius scientist, so he's probably kind of socially retarded, and John's a smoking hot military pilot." No exaggeration. I've come to the conclusion that you might actually learn more about characters through fic than through the show, because the really good fics assumes you know them already and then show you new things. But it's odd to read fic and have no basis for how someone talks, or smiles, or eyefucks with costars interacts with people, for example.
Conclusion: This show is getting watched. It'll never know what hit it.
P.S. John's headset/microphone thing in that picture makes it look like he's wearing an earring. HOT.
