Oh. Oh, holy crap. My heart's still in my throat and my pulse is racing and this is frickin' fantastic. Whoa.

[xparrot]

Thank you, glad it got the blood moving ^^

WOW. Trying to wrap my head around this.....its sheer brilliance. I know a lot of love and pain went into this.

Rodney, oh Rodney. I want to wrap my arms around him, at his devotion to find John. After so much loss, he wasn't going to give into time, he waged a war and was not willing to accept anything but a win that didn't involve anyone's death.

Really loved getting inside the brilliant one's head and getting a re look at Sheppard through his eyes at the same time.

Awesome.

Thank you so much! Actually, more love than pain - I really enjoy the heck out of trying to write both multiverses and technobabble. I'm weird like that.

Getting inside Rodney's head was a little more difficult, now, his thoughts move so fast it's like trying to spear minnows with a fork...hence my need to break him a bit, make him more manageable. Eheh. But really, Rodney's stronger than he looks or thinks he is, to be burdened with the conscience he has and still survive in Pegasus...

*makes high-pitched noises of joy* This...this is just freckin fantastic. The chess part in the beginning, the fact that I spent the rest of the fic with my heart in my throat clinging to my laptop in desperation. I don't smoke but I need a cigarette, stat.

So, so very good.

[xparrot]

*offers a hypothetical light for your nonexistent cigarette* So glad you enjoyed it!

I was afraid the technbabble and such might get a little dense - but glad you enjoyed it anyway!
