Thank you! It was a fun story to write.

Wow. Just, wow. This is very well-written; I hardly know where to start. First off, there can never be enough of Ronon scooping John up into his arms, even if the silly little bugger was/is unconscious. Teyla showing off her skills & guile in evading the mob: cool. And Rodney on a roll, but still listening to advice to rest/eat & not being a prick, just cos, is always nice to see. (Btw, isn't it Zelenka?)

Must admit, during the Dynamic Duo's impromptu science lecture in the lab, I could literally feel my eyes glazing over halfway through. I get science for the most part, but go too much into the specifics & my mind pulls up headfics for distraction. *empathizes with John* I also like how you paid attention to the details, like John feeling better after finally able to wash his hair after the bandages had come off. Cos that greasy itchy feeling? Sucks. XP

I could go on forever, but I'll spare you (& everyone). :P Well done! :D

(Btw, isn't it Zelenka?) Yep, that was a giant brain malfunction on my part. That's how I've been spelling his name in my head this whole time, but I just got into reading fanfic in the last few months and I don't do boards and things. I know I've seen it in print but I guess it didn't click. Huh.

I'm glad you liked it (other than that)! First fic for me. I'm astounded by the sheer quantity and quality out there and I think this was a great place to get into it.

Really nice story. Great team feel and a cool device for the catalyst.

[calcitrix]

Thanks! Team plus science geekery make me happy, even if I spent way too much time on Wiki reading about Einstein and quantum physics.

Awwww, thank you so much! This really has the feel of an episode; I particularly love the scene in which Rodney realizes that John got hurt saving him, and then the end with Rodney sacrificing the device to save Teyla, bringing it all full circle. *hugs the team* Thank you very much for writing it for me!

[calcitrix]

Hope you enjoyed...I'm glad I sort of knew your likes and dislikes from having read some of your stories; I figured the Rodney and John scene at least would suit. (Of course, it was also a little intimidating not getting a completely unknown person, but I think it made me work a little harder ;)) Hope you're around next year!

heh. Grandma's Ax, or The Ship of Theseus, though the implications for the quantum drive are utterly fascinating. great team story!

[calcitrix]

Thanks! I know there's a whole other story in there, too, but alas Rodney's poor drive won't be the plot device for it.
