Oh, oh, oh, this is beautiful! There's such tension and need and affection - so many different kinds - running through this story, and the ending is just perfect. God, so lovely.

I worried so much over this one - mainly about whether I wasn't saying enough and leaving people to fill in too many blanks, so it's great to know it worked :D

So much angst! Poor Rodney! So glad Ronon could help ground him.

They're team, and it's what they do :D Glad you enjoyed!

Nicely done. Ouchie, but nicely done.

::grin:: Thank you!

Whoa. Wow, beautifully written, and the fact so much is left unsaid makes it even more powerful. The dynamic with Ronon is gorgeous, and the way the Team closeness is evident is just perfect. Very awesome story.

Thank you! I was rather worried about how much I was leaving unsaid and if it was too much white-space in the story, but when I added in more, it just didn't work. So yay! that the unspoken parts worked :D

Oh Rodney! Poor, poor Rodney.

I love how the team is characterized here, with Teyla's strength and Ronon giving McKay what he needs. And how John is there, even when he's not.

Lovely.

One of the things I was aiming for, even though it's explicitly a Rodney/Ronon pairing in the story, was a sense of team and how they're all there for each other, so yay that that came through :D
