Lovely team fic, and Carson, too..yay! You really whumped our Shep good! Love the snark and especially Rodney's POV, too!

[everybetty]

Lol, Carson always seems to make it into my fics, even if I have to use a plumber's helper to jam him in :) I'm not a very snarky person usually, so I enjoy getting to write Rodney. Thank you !

Oh! *melts* This was gorgeous. I adore aftermath fic to pieces and yours pushed every aftermath fic button I have - illness, angst, slow healing and the team being there, doing what ever it takes to help one of their own. Sheppard finally able to see the sun almost brought me to tears *carefully smishes John*

Wonderful, just wonderful :D

[everybetty]

Aw, thanks! These are my favorite kinds of fics, too, so I guess I just channeled what I like into it. *And John would so carefully smish you back :)

My favorite part of whump is the recovery portion and you do it so wonderfully. I love the story being told through McKay's eyes and you capture the team as family perfectly.

Thank you so much for this.

This was nice. The first person narrative really worked. The h/c was just whumpalicious. Wonderful.

[everybetty]

Whumpalicious! Hee! And I worried over the 1st person narrative, so thank you !!

"My favorite part of whump is the recovery portion..." ME too! I had fun using Rodney to 'see' it through; thank you!!

Wow! This was really awesome. I'm normally not a huge fan of first-person POV, so when I started reading, I thought, "Uh, oh...but wait. This is everybetty. Keep going. You know it will be good." So glad I did! This really worked well from Rodney's POV, and you've got such a great Rodney voice anyway. I loved getting Rodney's snark and concern for his team conveyed all at once. I really loved how we only see what happened to Sheppard from Rodney observations as well. We know it was bad based on what he's seeing, but we don't know exactly what happened. There's something about leaving Sheppard's experiences on the planet hidden and a mystery that makes his whole recovery so much more anguishing (and fulfilling to us comfort junkies!;))

Carson!! I love Carson. I love that Rodney is rich and just rents a mountain mansion (on the internet!) and the team and Carson take John there to recover. That was just wonderful. I totally digged all the medical recovery aspects too (that you do just as well as Rodney's voice). Awesome!! :D

Eep! I know! When I first decided to try the 1st person I wavered for a bit... It's not usually my cup of tea either. But thank you for slogging through it anyway. Carson, Carson... I just can't seem to write without him popping up at some point :) And of course, Rodney is rich... Genius, remember? Thank you for the great feedback, S!

Have to agree that the 1st person Rodney POV was powerful and worked a treat in this story, and I thought the opening exposition set just the right tone - sadness and sweetness mixed to perfection. And I got some really good laughs along the way too (loved and agreed with Rodney's thoughts about all the robe wearing ... there is little hope for any people that haven't got around to inventing jeans and t-shirts!)
Thanks for writing it, cos I loved reading it!

[everybetty]

Aw, I loved that little joke. Thank you for liking it, too! Thanks for the great feedback!
