Oh, good!

I'm so happy you've updated and posted here. I've been searching for this fic for a week! My google-fu skillz are sadly lacking, so I had resigned myself to never finding it again.

Thank you!!

You're most welcome. I tend to cross post at almost every community that will accept my stories, so I'm always worried about people becoming annoyed as I spam their Flists. But I'm glad you are enjoying the series. Thanks for the review!

Also, if you are having trouble finding SGA stories that you've previously read, you can always go over to sgastoryfinders (http://community.livejournal.com/sgastoryfinders/). They are great about helping people find the unfindable SGA fic!

I certainly am enjoying it! I liked the last chapter. Emily as a prodigy is definately more than Rodney was ready to handle, and John must be thrille dthat she wants to fly things fast.

I think what I like most is the realistic manner in which you're going about tranfering the care of Emily from one parent to the other - the courts of law and all that. I appreciate that sort of realism in a fic.

I'm looking forward to the next section.

(And jeeze, will John and Rodney EVER actually HEAR what the other one is saying?)

I think she hits both their buttons in just such a way that they love her - unconditionally - but will probably soon want to start ripping out their hair.

Lol, my little sister is studying law and she gets to listen to me grumble and compain about the legal system as she's staring over my shoulder going "you can't do that" or "there is no way a court would get through the paper work that fast" or my personal favourite "that's like so much fiction". She helps a lot to get the legal stuff right, but this is in no way an accurate discription of what will happen in such cases. (But I agree with you. The splash of realism, even slightly changed, can be a wonderful injection to any story).

(LMAO! That would require one or both of them actually listening to more than what is being said. And they're both so wrapped up in their worry that they act like... well... John and Rodney)

Take care
Jade
