Wow! This was really really good. I love the little details that I hadn't expected peppered throughout the story.

Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it. :D

That is bittersweet, and twisty, and heartclenching, and wonderful. I love that John catalogs and keeps track of all the ways their lifestyle has changed them, I love that Ronon and John have stayed together as brothers-in-arms, and yes, I even love the surprises you threw in there.

Excellent!

Thank you very much! I'm not entirely sure how this ended up going to such a heart-twisting place, but I'm very glad you enjoyed it and that you were willing to come along for the whole roller-coaster ride!

Lots of fun. I like the hints we get of their life in Pegasus. Also, I thought it interesting that Rodney betrayed them and Jennifer came with them. Nice twist. Glad John finally acknowledges at least to himself, what Teyla means to him, even if he won't act on it.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I might have been too subtle with John and Teyla's situation ... the general idea is that they are sleeping together, but they're at a point in their lives when neither one of them is able to settle down with the other, so they have a sort of non-committed long-distance thing going.

Wow! The whole story is great but I think the last line tugged at me more than anything:

"John looks around the table at his companions. He will not see peace in his lifetime, he knows, even if he does manage to live to an old age - which he doubts. But this is what he fights for, what he's always fought for: these moments of peace and tranquility, with good food and conversation and laughter. It's the life he's chosen - in the Air Force, on Atlantis, and now in the Wraith Hunter - and he doesn't regret a damn thing."

That is just... wow. So John Sheppard.

Lovely work! I love the detail! :D

Thank you; I'm glad you liked it, and I'm happy that John's voice came through!
