I really like how you were able to have the decisions Kate made in canon make sense here, and to show her strengths and vulnerability as a much fuller character than she was ever allowed to be. I have to admit her superciliousness in finding Rodney's distress amusing, not to mention her dismissal of him really got my back up, so it was good to see nearer to the end that she wasn't finding it amusing anymore. I do hope that Ronon's question made Rodney reconsider not telling John how he felt.

The epilogue was very sweet, and made me very sad that Teyla was going to lose her love. I hope your version of this universe includes her surviving.

Thank you! ♥ I was afraid the only comment would be from my recipient :)

I was aiming to make Kate quite nasty in the beginning, yes. A typical overconfident psychologist who thinks (s)he knows you inside out (modelled from a couple dozens people I know :) ), but, well, Atlantis either makes you grow or die :)

Oh, I think Ronon's question made Teyla and Ronon himself think... Now I can't chase away a humor/crack plotbunny of a Matchmaker Team from Hell including Ronon, Teyla and Kate (who attempts to do damage control).

Whatever the reader wants to think :) How I see it, Teyla's loss of Kate might be just the push she needed to go to Kanaan after years of doing nothing. And a push hard enough to make her careless, which might explain Torren.

I truly enjoyed reading this, as I love fic about Kate and don't find it often enough! I particularly enjoyed her questioning her decisions about the Cadman/McKay situation; it really makes me want to know how she felt about Cadman abusing the "timeshare", or if she even knew about it, not just that the sharing made them harder to separate.

I also loved the little glimpses of other characters - Miko, Kavanaugh, and the others.

Nicely done, all of it! I, too, hope that Kate lives on in your universe so that she and Teyla can have a happy-ever-after.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)

Now that I'm thinking, Kate couldn't not know about Laura 'hijacking' Rodney's body. Although I'm not sure if she knew the details -- Rodney was probably too embarrassed to tell her, especially with Laura still in his body, listening in (and he does have some things to hide from her). As for Kate's feelings... she doesn't seem the type to take responsibility for other people's actions, but she can't be happy with Laura. I'll have to think about it.

I enjoyed reading this. I appreciated how none of Kate's tricks really worked on Teyla at the start, how she wasn't perfect & had doubts but was still, I think, coming from a genuine place of wanting to help people. Also liked how Kate's growing feelings for Teyla, and her realization of the depth of her feelings, mirrored Rodney's sessions about John.

You've given Kate a lot more depth then the show ever did!

There really needs to be more femslash in SG:A fandom :)
