Teyla's voice was wonderful in this and I enjoyed reading about her evolving feelings and how you tied that to canon. Thanks. :-)

Love the gradual wearing down of Teyla's objection. I like that it was not simply one thing that made the light switch go on, but more a collection of things.

Kudos.

I do like the way that Teyla gradually comes around, and it's not a surrender but an acceptence too. Good job.

Instead of farewells, though, there is a preposterous mission, as there so often is with these people, back to the darkened, crawling cave, and Ronon shoots the Colonel twice, in order to save him. It works.

I love that line. I love the entire fic! You capture Teyla's voice very well and I enjoyed how you progressed her feelings on the canon events.

This is lovely: I particularly like Teyla wrestling between what she thinks she can have, and what she wants. Thank you!
