What a fantastic series! I totally love it. It was well paced, very angsty, and very hot (really, Really, REALLY, HOT). And the story concept is so neat - I was completely enthralled. I'm soooo glad that I found this story. Someone was searching for one of your other stories on SGAficfinder and I got curious about what else you wrote. I guess it does pay to be nosey ;-P

I was waiting for someone to bang Rodney, Carson and John's heads together to get them to see that they should be together. I'm not surprised that it was Teyla who got the boys to finally see reason (lol). You wrote Angsty!John so beautifully.

Thank goodness that the boys get to stay together at the end. You had me floundering about that for a while. I suspected that John was up to something when he first got together with Radeck. But then John's reasons for why he had to leave Atlantis was so well done, well argued and so impassioned that I started to wonder if I was on the wrong track. It sure sounded like John had no future in Atlantis. What a relieve to see that my doubts were not realized!

Um, so Veza's baby...John's? Or am I missing this by a mile?

Thank you for writing and sharing.

Thanks so much for your feedback. I wrote this series intentionally with no spoilers in the headers because I wanted people to be unsure where it was going till it got there and felt it would ruin the suspense if they knew.

And, yeah, the baby's John's biologically.
