I think the change in Rodney is partially attibutable to his relationship with John and partially to ... well, a whole host of other things. :g: Yes. The thing is, I still want to see the story as slash because I don't think all that other stuff overshadows the relationship with John, just as the relationship doesn't overshadow all the other stuff - I think all of it is important. And I can see how the story could be gen, but I think it gains something, for me, by being slash - by having the relationship with John be a defining aspect of Rodney without it being the defining aspect of Rodney. I like the idea that it's not an all-or-nothing deal, that the relationship is important enough that it can't just be pulled out without changing things but that Rodney can still manage to go on after it.
