What a wonderful Teyla story. I loved seeing Teyla on her own for a change. But the team moments were fun too. Enjoyed this very much.

Thanks! I do feel that Teyla is criminally neglected on the show, and even though I love the main characters I've always had a soft spot for all the minor characters, which makes looking for fic very frustrating. But I also love the team as a whole, so I'm glad you enjoyed.

I really enjoyed this, and agree that we all need more Teyla. The story part was really good but I especially appreciated your development of the ideas of courage and hope - yeah, I'm mushy like that.

Found another typo though: "before youd get it all out," John concluded."

Here via SGA newsletter, btw.

Thank you for the story!

Thank you for reading! It's just so annoying that we get brilliant episodes centering around all the other main characters *except* Teyla, even though she's one of the main team too. Anyways, thanks for catching typos, I went over both parts again and I think I've gotten out most of the glitches. Glad you enjoyed the story!

What a wonderful Teyla! If only the show would realize her potential, as you have here. Marvelous team dynamics, too. Thank you for a delightful story.

Thank you for reading! I'm glad that you enjoyed; looking for good Teyla fic always leaves me frustrated, so I figured I'd at least try writing some myself.

You give good Teyla.

You would rock for that alone, but this is a really, really good story. (The problem with saving all my commenting for a big run is that after a while, I keep feeling that everything I'm saying is repetitive and thus far less than the stories, such as yours, truly deserve.)

The one thing I might perhaps be a little uncertain of is Ana the mathematical genius -- while you handled it cleverly, it almost seemed overkill for the point you and Teyla are quietly making.

I like the plot; I really like redeemed!still-grey-area!Sora; and the ending, particularly the last line, seems to have a weight to it that will stay with me for a long time.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the plot and the characters, and I'm relieved that you liked the ending, since I myself am not fond of overly sentimental fics, and yet I somehow found myself writing a 14k story with kids! And talking about courage and hope, of all things-- but I am glad you enjoyed it, so hopefully I wasn't unbearably sappy ( ... )
