I am continuing to adore this AU. I sincerely hope you continue to write in it.

Wait-- are you the same mad_maudlin who wrote all the amazing Ron/Draco fics?

Well, I won't say they're all amazing, but I have written my fair share of Ron/Draco. They're just saved to a different journal, wideworldsend; I didn't want to retag all the fic there, so I started this as a seperate multi-fandom fic journal.

I love this series SO MUCH! I like how the characters are really the same characters, just remixed very well. Rod is still blunt, loud, Rodney deep down inside and Zelenka is still sweet somewhat selfconcious Zelenka deep down inside. It really captures the feel of the series remixed, which is a trait a lot of AUs (even really great ones) tend not to have. I really, really like this series. Are you planning on going through the entire series like this? Or just not really planning, but whenever the mood strikes you, you'll add on a piece?

Personally, I think it would be super sweet if Dr. Zelenka met his military counterpart. ;)

I'm not sure if I'll get to the whole series, but, like I said in the notes, I'm canon-locked right now (until the S4 dvds become available) and Rod, John and Radek are just too much to not bounce off one another. There are at least two moments (maybe three) that I really, really want to write--the truth about Mensa!John's mysterious Air Force service and a bit about just how Rod ended up in Russia in the first place.

As for the Zelenkas meeting...that might be a bit traumatic for both of them. But in a good way. We'll see.

Very nice story. I love the Radek POV. Also, Sheppard is still a smartass, just his references are different. Rod seems not as confident as he was in "McKay and Mrs Miller" but I guess that's because this is early on and he has several more years of experiences and growth to go through. If you're heading that way, I look forward to seeing how Rod develops.

I'm going to have to check out the other stories in this series, I somehow missed the start of this.

Minor maybe beta: I think Radek was "holding his tongue" and not "holding his breath" in the transporter.
