Something was over his face, he bucked hard. He couldn’t get away. Breathing fast, his chest heaved as he battled. Sweat trickled down his face.

Alien. Aliens…..oh God….he tried to pull off the thing covering his nose and mouth.

The wraith grinned and reached forward but instead of aiming for his chest to feed, went low for his belly. He

NICE. I love John in recovery and a little slow, continuous whump. I was really pleased that you showed how frustrating it would be to start the recovery process again, so soon after a similar injury.

Favorite line: And that was when John should have realised that the smelly brown stuff was about to hit the cooling whirly thing.

Very nice read!!! I love Secret Santa time!!!

Thanks- glad you enjoyed this one!

I am delighted that you got to be my Secret Santa. I have always enjoyed your SGA stories. So, when I saw you listed as a recipient for one of the tales, I was already eagerly anticipating your post. Finding out that I was the recipient of your writing was the icing on the cake. I am sure it will be a wonderful treat for other SGA readers, too

Aw, thanks for the kind words. i enjoyed writing this one. i felt that extra h/c was totally due to john after his two injuries... i did dither at the last minute wether to make the girl vengeful or just an innocent mistake. i decide that mistake was easier to do without a whole lot of extra set up. i think i had the team kidnapped at one point and tring to work out how john was to follow them on foot! actually i think that's another story! thanks again for the prompt and for reading Toast as well.

Nice! I watched The Seed the other day and almost went looking for tags because, dang what a missed whumportunity, hee hee. And this little gem appeared as if meant to be. I read it a couple of nights in a row snuggled up with my tablet and then have had a devil of a time getting back to comment when I've got my fingers on a real keyboard!

Loved the recovery and woozy shep at the beginning. Just what I was looking for! And then, poor guy, gets taken out by a feast. I just knew it was a bad idea to eat those leftover snacks! But you did make me wonder whether it was deliberate, so it was rather refreshing when it turned out to be a simple misunderstanding and everyone got to comfort him again, heh.

Thank you for the story! Although I'd almost stopped being sad the show was over and now I'm pretty bummed again by all the good fics that are reminding me what I loved about it! waah.

Hee- it was meant to be! I love S&R and the seed fics too so writing this into the prompt was great. i'm glad you like the mistake rather than vengeful mushrooms- i did dither which way to go on that one.

I enjoyed this!! I loved the slow recovery from the Seed events, and then John's descent into hippie crazy from those midnight snacks and waking up cold and sick and lost in the middle of the woods. Great job!
