Awwww. I'm nomrally not a fan of AUs like this, but I adored it! No matter the universe, they're still a team and still so them.

Thank you so much! I'm delighted you liked it, especially since it's not normally what you read.

This is one AR that really clicked for me. Great characterization, plausible way of collecting them all.
Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much; I'm very glad that it worked for you! :)

You know, I love that Ronon's the grounded one, and that the rest of them are wanderers. It makes a lovely change and you've got Ronon's train-of-thought weaving really well in and out of the story.

Awesome. :)

Thank you very much! I really liked the idea of making Ronon the one who got the gang together this time; I think that considering how grounded and mellow he is after having his entire world destroyed and living on the run for 7 years, he would have been a really together person given other circumstances. :D

Interesting. There are things I don't like about it, yet the fine writing kept me intrigued and reading. The characterizations were extremely well done, though I don't think it was necessary to make Teyla younger than the others.

Thank you; I'm glad that you liked parts of it despite not liking others. I can see your reservations about Teyla; I was basically aiming for giving each character a unique role in the story, and part of hers was that she was smart enough to have jumped a couple of grades. But I can see how it could have come across condescending towards her, and I really didn't mean it that way at all.

Thank you so much! Artist Ronon is totally personal canon for me, and when I was writing this, I was visualizing him in those sexy hippie-dork glasses that Jason Momoa wears. :D
