Title: Bioluminescent
Summary: Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises.
Notes: Takes place after "Rising," obviously, but also draws on "Before I Sleep." Many thanks to doorrepairgirl for the beta.

( Rodney was vaguely aware that it was a dream. )

Gorgeous. The dream sequence is both spot-on surreal and creepy, knowing BIS.

which he was solving by hand, marking the screen with a pencil.

That's such a dream thing. Cool.

I love that he misses his cat. :) And the second dream is a lovely way to end it!

Thank you very much, I'm so glad it worked for you. ;)

Great story! Love how Rodney's subconscious picked up on the events from BIS, and that you worked in the piano.

Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it. I saw "Redemption" for the first time the other day, and I just loved all the background they gave us...

Oh, gorgeous stuff! The bit with the water is quite haunting. Nice connection to BIS.

and started making a few initial notes on the mission so far. Ten pages in, he fell asleep.

Ten pages of initial notes. I like that. *g*

Thank you kindly. ;)

Heh, thank you. Rodney's had a long day...

Oh, this is beautifully written. I liked the connection between the computer keyboard and the piano keyboard, and Rodney's father smiling. Also the idea that his father was a talkative man--like father, like son. *g*

He spent several seconds looking for Laika before remembering that he'd left her with a cat-sitter back on his home planet. A pang of loneliness gripped him by the collar and shook, hard.

This just hit me really hard--mostly because I've been doing that myself, since I left my cat far, far away with my parents because I'm leaving the country soon. It makes me feel silly, when I wake up in the middle of the night and I'm alone, but my first instinct is to visually identify where the cat is.

Anyway, that was a tangent, the point is, I loved this. It's really lovely.

Awwwww, that's sad. It's so hard to part ways with a pet. I'm glad you liked the story, and I'm sorry you're missing your cat.
