This is your first fic? Yes, please, more! This is gorgeous, just amazing. Because, yeah.

I love the slide into the killer last line. You had me convinced it was Elizabeth right up until then. I read it again looking for the reveal and the subtle hints really are there.

ETA: the person [formally] known as Laura Cadman steadily met the gaze of the blue eyes which had once belonged to Meredith Rodney McKay. I think [formally] should be formerly?

Thanks for that - I've fixed it!

I'm glad that it was a surprise but that the hints were there on the re-read.

I wondered if "pounding through the corridors of Atlantis" would give it away straight off. I re-wrote that three times because Laura goes running before bed to unwind so it is the perfect time for thinking things through but I didn't want to give it away!

Happy you liked!

I like this, even though it means Rodney is dead *bawl*!! An interesting idea and well written - looking forward to reading more from you!

You're right, I killed him! *looks shamefaced*

And I really like him as well! *shrugs* Ah well!

Most of my other plot bunnies are pretty mean to him as well! I'd been reluctant to publish anything because I couldn't find anyone to beta and was a bit worried. But I was inspired by the challenge and decided to bite the bullet so to speak.

I'm dead chuffed that several people who've made positive comments are people whose stuff I love so *whew*!

Now this last weekend is over I've gained some confidence and I'm going to tweak and publish some more stories.

So thank you very much for your kind words!

Damn! Didn't see that one coming... Excellent job! Love to see the story expanded upon though. (hint, hint) ;)

Thank you so much! That's the reaction I was hoping for!

*grins like idiot, tries to recover dignity...fails*

You're the second person to suggest expansion! I've had a few ideas so you never know. ;-)

The encouragement is unbelievably appreciated!
