Yay, my story! \o/

I really liked this in Ronon's POV, especially the observations he made while shopping and about Earth's customs and foods. I'm going to believe everything worked out for them and Rodney just has a new scar to complain about.

Thank you!!!!!

It was such a pleasure to get to write for you! So sorry the ending felt abrupt -- yes, Rodney will be getting a lot of mileage out of that tiny puckered scar in the future. count on it!

Oh. This is just fabulous. I love the wonderful teaminess of it, and the tension that's threaded in between all the lovely moments of togetherness. Or maybe the other way around. ;) Really lovely.

[saffronhouse]

Pretty much just an excuse for the team to huddle around by themselves with some bonus fretting about Rodney! How could I go wrong? (I'm laughing). Thanks so much!

Ronon's perspective is fascinating. Timely subject, too... all too plausible.

[saffronhouse]

Yes -- I enjoyed trying to see the world through Ronon's eyes, at least a bit. And yeah ... just one too many insane rants about "terror babies," god help us.

Oh, I loved this. The tension, the team, and the love that's evident between all of them. The scenario is all too scarily plausible, and I loved that we see all of this through Ronon's eyes. I really enjoyed this.

[saffronhouse]

I'm so glad you enjoyed! This was obviously just a bare bones attempt to get the team off by themselves. Well, that and Ronon doing the grocery shopping.

I love it, my only complaint is that is it waaay too short :-) I'd love a sequel. That's my usual reaction to something I really like. It's plausible. And teamy!

And - the Fourteenth? Do they insist or did you invent them? 'Cause if you did, that's inspired.

[saffronhouse]

At least it didn't drag on too long! (hee) Thank you.

"The fourteenth" doesn't exist under that name, but you can find their philosophy in alarming organizations like the Oath Keepers, the Minutemen, and the politicians who pander to them.
