My
reel_sga Robin Hood AU is kicking my ass. I just want to trash it, but I don't want to start over again either. ARGH!

“Okay, then,” John said. “Guide me up.”
“Should I kill them if you die?” Ronon asked gruffly, and John got the distinct impression that he was just asking to get the idea out there, a warning, because that was totally a given.
