Interesting perspective and very well written. I especially liked the way you, again, described the Wraith's hunger and frustration. Very cool.

Ah, Sports Night! Haven't seen it in ages and so I cannot spot the refernce :(

frostfire_17 April 26 2005, 18:02:50 UTC

Thanks! Glad you liked it! The reference is the girl-in-dress-shirt comment--comes from the episode where Jeremy could refuse Natalie nothing when she wore his shirts. ^_^

amezri April 27 2005, 00:14:40 UTC

Ah! I remember that now ^^*

Yes. Just, yes. Sheppard completely uses himself that way, totally on purpose, with Steve and in more subtle ways with other people. This is really fitting and *damn* cool, and it grabs exactly what was so shivery about the whole Steve situation.

frostfire_17 April 26 2005, 18:04:12 UTC

Thanks! And yeah, John's kind of a manwhore with Steve. It's so disturbing, and it works so well...*grin* Glad you liked it!

Oh, this is amazing! I love everything about this. The OC that's totally believable and understandable, the way I can see Steve pacing around and trying to intimidate everyone, and Shep. Oh, Shep. You've got his taunts just perfect. I can hear him saying all of this.

Has anyone ever told you that with your hair like that, you look like a zombie Legolas?”

*busts up*

Ha! Oh, that's so Shep. Along with the Buffy quote. Hee!

frostfire_17 April 26 2005, 18:07:18 UTC

Thanks, glad you liked it! The zombie Legolas thing just occurred to me when I was rewatching the Steve scenes for the 17 millionth time--he spun around, his hair flared out, and I was like, "dude. Legolas. Only, like, dead." *snicker*

May I just say that your icon is the most fabulous thing currently existing on this plane? *dies laughing*

ROFL I second the icon comment, it's the best!

OMG! This was even better than "My Soul from out that Shadow," something I didn't think possible! I am loving these stories. How clever, how completely Sheppard, to know exactly how to diffuse the situation by refusing to take Steve seriously, to know how to taunt and tempt him in order to make his fearsomeness into a weakness.

Excellent writing, fascinating concepts, and wonderful characterization! Score!

frostfire_17 April 26 2005, 18:10:25 UTC

Oh, good. I was *really* afraid that people would think this didn't live up to "My Soul From Out That Shadow" (why did I make that the first story I posted? *why*?) so I'm glad you liked it better. Yay! Thanks so much for commenting! *blushes at compliments*

Glad you liked it! And yeah, I was proud of the parsley line. Yay for it being appreicated. ^_^

I was not, in fact, consciously referencing Sports Night with the danish thing, although yeah, I think there are danishes in there somewhere. The purposeful reference was the girlfriend-in-dress-shirt thing, from when Jeremy can't resist the absolute power of Natalie in his shirts. *grin*

*pictures story with "y'all"*

*brain breaks in half*

Also, "youse". Although that might only work if someone was writing a SGA-Sopranos crossover.... ;-)
