If you do not write more, I will hunt you down like the Wraith and suck your lifeforce! (and that isn't entirely a sexual metaphor)

This is just - I'm all fic-sated and lazily sprawled after the heat of that. And the complicated layers and the way sex is so many different things in different ways to them - god, I love that.

I must concur.

And eat some chocolate.

eep! No sucking!

Thanks, though! I really never get bored with complicated sex. *g*

And now you've made me like Ronon Dex.

That ... With the names and the Kraft dinner and Ronon can't like calculus because there'd be too much to him? AHHHHH.

Hi, I'm Yarngeek. Mind if I stick around?

Good, that was the point of the exercise! Because everyone should like Ronon as much as I do.

I'm glad you appreciated the calculus line. I heard from a couple of people who read that like, wow, Rodney's such an asshole, he just up and called the guy he just got out of bed with a moron. But I always intended it to be -- sweet. I mean, it was him saying, hey, I like you so much in all these ways that if I liked you any more, my whole world could get thrown out of whack. I also thought it was kind of a romantic gesture in Sheppard's direction: like, you know, *all I need* is for this sexy guy to upend my life by turning out to be a sekrit geek-genius like my last sexy guy did. Anyway, that was just one of my favorite lines of the story, so thanks for bringing it up. *g*

As for staying around, feel free! Just be forewarned, I'm not normally this productive. *g*

Hee! Love it when I can get people to yell out loud at the story.

You know, the best part of writing -- well, any pairing, but I think particularly threesomes -- is when you can get everything going at once and make the reader like *all* the characters instead of just their favorite one or two. So it's always so cool to hear, with something like this, that people are out there rooting for all three of them.

I must say that I haven't gone out hunting much Ronon slash thus far--not sure why, it just hasn't happened--but after this, I may have to.

Both of these were so well-written, the language just beautiful, the details so sensual. I loved how many layers you created, too, with Sheppard and his not-jealousy, before finally laying a *bit* of a claim on Rodney, Ronon not understanding the Earth customs, wanting what he wants. And Rodney, suddenly faced with having not one but two people that he could, possibly be with.

Anyways, gorgeous story. I really liked it a lot.

Thanks! You know what's cool is that in this fairly short piece of feedback, you've managed to grab onto the exact theme I'm most interested in playing with for each of the characters: John's whole commitment problem, Ronon being a displaced stranger in a strange land, and Rodney's limited social skills getting totally swamped by having, OMG! *all these people* who all want to deal with him. So how great is that? You're the best reader evah!

Dude, I am so looking forward to seeing where this is going. I love the way you got into Ronon's head and showed his perspective on things; he's simultaneously alien and familiar, and that's really cool.

Also, it was much with the hot, and yay for that. *g*

Thank you! One thing that makes me sad about most sf fandoms is how few people really take advantage of the chance to write aliens. Aliens are great! Let aliens be aliens! Along with the UNBELIEVABLE FREAKING HOTNESS of Jason Momoa, that whole ability to extrapolate a culture from a few shreds of evidence was the thing that made me really want to write a story that was largely about Ronon. Many other things went into making me want to write a big, porny OT3 series about Ronon, Rodney, and Sheppard. *g*
