OH!

Oh, wow. This is beautiful. Yummy h/c in the finest slash tradition; I am a happy happy fangirl right now.

I love all of the details -- the snarking about the crevasse, and Rodney slowly losing consciousness, and John freeclimbing down with knives, and the rescue, and the ending. Yay!

Thank you so much! :D It's been quite awhile since I've just given in to the urge to write straight-up h/c. So glad you liked it!

God, you're good.

*blush* Thank you!

Heh, I posted a story called "Cold Comfort" for this challenge a few days ago. We have good taste.

Fun banter between the guys, Rodney blaming Sheppard for everything under the sun. It was nice to see Sheppard use his head and go down the 'Crevasse"..lol. Liked the part where he wished it was Teyla.

This was fun and sweet.

heehee ... oops! Maybe that's why the title was at the front of my brain! :D

I love writing the snarky snarky boys ... and of *course* Sheppard was going to come up with some way to help, however impractical it may be! (I kinda hated to have Ronon off-camera for the whole thing -- I'd originally planned to have him much more involved -- but it *did* make sense to have him be the one to go for help.)

Just one word, hon.

YES!!!!!

sholio January 31 2008, 02:09:35 UTC

Why thank you! :D

Now that's a fine hit of h/c right there. And I'll tell you what you are very, very good at describing the cold and it's effects, because if you've got someone sweltering to death in a t-shirt reading this and feeling a chill then that's some effective writing.

"Did you free-climb down here using knives?"

Heee! Why doesn't that surprise me. I suppose it was either that or using explosives to make handholds.

sholio January 31 2008, 02:11:02 UTC

Hee! I'm glad the sensation of cold came across -- it's f**king freezing here right now *g*, so you might say I've been doing hands-on research! Only ... without being stuck at the bottom of an ice cave, of course!

I knew from the beginning that Sheppard was going to try some sort of highly impractical rescue, but it took me half the story to figure out just exactly what he'd do.
