Lovely imagery, excellent Ronon POV. You handled the emotions well, as usual!!

[rhymer23]

Thank you! I'd actually intended this as a very short piece - one of four short stories I was going to write, one for each team member - but the emotions took over and it ended up being a story in its own right. Glad you liked it!

I'm not weepy. I'm really not.

[rhymer23]

Oh dear. Sorry! I thought it was rather a positive, uplifting story about finding new friends and a new home, but I think I might be wrong about that. I blame the drink. (Not really!)

[copracat]

Weepy in a good way :)

A lovely look at Ronon and how he sees Atlantis and his new life.

[rhymer23]

Thank you! I think this is probably only the second Ronon-centric story I've ever written, so I'm hlad it worked for you.

This was ... very nice. And yes, almost weepy in the heartwarming sort of way :) While I like Ronon, I don't generaly identify with him. You gave him a lot of depth without making it seem like an effort. Well done.

Thank you! I like Ronon, but was terrified of writing him for ages after I started writing in this fandom. I still don't write him as often as I probably should, but I enjoyed trying to see into his head in this story.
