Utterly magnificent. The detail of their "narrowed" senses and how they compensate, the description of how they work together, the way they rely on each other, Teyla contact with John, John taking cues from her instincts...

Fantastic story!

(Although a part of me would have loved to see this go into 'het' territory, too...)

Thank you so much. I had this idea for a while and though it fit perfectly to have each of them depend on the other while playing with the lack of senses and exploring the way to express it.

Yeah, this lends it self to that and to even a much larger type story. If you ever want to remix it--you have my permission b/c it would be an interesting to read another spin on it.

Excellent. I loved that they were able to make up for each other's current weakness. They do make a beautiful team :D

Ah, such a wonderful job! Just what I needed after a long stressful week. Loved the humor...even laughed out loud a few times! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Thank you. I really wanted to play with each lack of sense, this was a fun thing to exploe as a writer as well how each of them had to depend on the other. Each had a weakness and both was able step up and really become one.

I loved writing how Teyla used touch to communicate.

Thank you. This was a way to really demonstrate how they really could communicate and depend on the other in a very unusual way.
