I always love it when you write about Sheppard's team being married. Loved Miko's view point on the whole thing.

Thank you for your kind comments!

Miko is fun to write, largely because I can cheat. ^_^

Oh, this is wonderful, all the little connections and details, and Teyla and Miko's conversation about Teyla's marriage had me on the floor laughing.

Thank you for your kind comments!

This is a Teyla who's had time both to get used to the idea that there was a fairly serious misunderstanding at the beginning and that the rewards of said misunderstanding are more than worth holding to her bargain, and has made up her mind to enjoy herself on the way. ^_^

I had to read this twice to get what was going on (And I want to make it CLEAR this was not the fault of the fic, but of an overtired reader!) but once I twigged on it, I liked it a lot!

All of them are married, huh? I like it!

[saphanibaal]

Thank you for your comments!

(And so far, Teyla, some of the anthropologists, and now Miko are the only ones on Atlantis who know that they're all married.) ^_^

Even John and Rodney haven't caught on yet...

Oooh I would love to read the story where they find out!! *howling with laughter*

[eliyes]

That hit the spot -- I've been craving some Miko fic for ages now, and am not quite brave enough to write it myself.

[saphanibaal]

The main thing with Miko fic, for me, is that I have to go through and red-pencil the Japanese back out of her dialogue. (It's fun, though, because I get to recycle several years' worth of random trivia.)

Thank you for your kind comments!

"Chuck" blinked. "So '-kun' is the right way for him to speak to you?"

"Er, ah, um, well... "

*snerk* Oh, I love that! I'm so happy that she reacted that way. I really do love your Miko, and all your stories. I LOVE that your AR1 are married! One day you should write the story where Teyla tells them...

[saphanibaal]

I was kind of under the impression that "maa, etoh, anoh, chotto..." was the correct way to respond to someone from an out-group pointing out that a member of your in-group was Dead Wrong, when you had to acknowledge it at all. ^_^

Thank you for your kind comments! I enjoy thinking in Japanese grammar patterns, although I then have to kick myself hard to make myself translate back (and I'm still not sure whether Miko's gatespeak-equivalent of "maa, ne" near the end came through properly).

I still haven't thought of what setting I want to use for that, although I'm playing with the idea of an explanation to Madison in public hearing. Saa...
