I don't know which hurt my heart more - Rodney wanting his cat or Shep wanting his mom. Nicely done.

[dannylurks]

Thank you very much. I had wondered if Rodney and the cat had been done to death, but time was pressing and I couldn't think of anyone/anything else (other than Sam Carter, and that would have turned into a novel). We know nothing about Shep's background so he was easier - and I think almost every guy would want to see his Mom. ;-)

Anyway, glad you liked it.

Interesting. I could see this becoming really dark if you wanted to expand the premise into a longer story.

[dannylurks]

Thank you. I agree about the premise becoming darker, and I am considering expanding the idea into a longer story.

This was so sad, yet so neat to see what they were missing most. Loved it.

[dannylurks]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you thought it worked. :-)

Very sad. Although I always wonder, could someone be happy living that kind of lie?

[dannylurks]

Thank you. And I think they did realise that they wouldn't be happy living that kind of lie, but Elizabeth did find it tempting as a kind of temporary escape from the homesickness.

Since they don't want him/her in Atlantis can I have him/her LOL I wouldn't mind playing w/a little smoke & mirrors.

Enjoyed it, more please.

Well, I don't know where it/he/she went, but if I spot it/he/she I'll send it on to you. ;-)

Thank you for taking the time to comment. :-)
