Oh, I really enjoyed this! The universe you established here was so intriguing and evocative. I'd love to see more of it some day, if you are ever so inclined :)

Thank you! I had a great time putting it all together and I love the setting a lot, so yes, there will be more at some point.

Oh, this was lovely! Wonderful use of history and canon, and lovely slow-sweet recovery of Meredith. Thank you!

Thank you! I had a good time mixing canon and my own ideas, which, really, is what fan fic is all about. So glad you liked it! :)

Even though there are times when they would try the patience of a saint, it would not be Atlantis without Doctor McKay and Colonel Sheppard and I know how lucky we are that they are part of this Expedition.

Oh yes, yes.

Loved this, lovely overlay of the steampunk with a perfectly recognizable skeleton of the original underneath. Not campy, just perfect.

Thank you! My whole intention was to write modern fanfic as if we'd been watching Steampunk!SGA from the get go, so I'm glad it worked.

In addition to the points others have made, I have to praise the *style*, so perfectly matched to the time. *adores*

Thank you! I was actually a little concerned about that, so I'm really glad it worked. :)
