I really like this. I love AUs where they're young, and you wrote them so they click together really well here. And I love that it's Ronon's voice as the lead, that he's the one that brings them together.

Thank you! I loved the idea of Ronon as the center of the group this time around, the one who pulls them together.

Fun AU, I liked Ronon's POV. Rodney the hermit was nice too. :p Well done!

Thank you very much! As much as I love Rodney, I totally think that he would have been that weird roommate who drives everyone else crazy and keeps showing up to parties where he isn't invited because he's too socially clueless to realize that he's not invited. :D

I really loved this! I never would have thought of Ronon as an atrist, but it really works here.

Thank you! Artist Ronon is an idea I've used it a few of my stories; it's totally worked itself into my personal canon for him (and there was actually a line in the show that would have suggested that it's canon, but they cut it! Oh well.)

I enjoyed this - seeing the bits we know about them in a different context and watching as they gel together. Very well done.

Thank you very much. :)

I liked it! Ronon's POV was great and the characters gelled nicely. Good to see that Rodney came out of his hermit-like ways a little towards the end - and that he's such a cute drunk!!

I like the idea that Rodney in college would have been such a totally socially clueless dork that most people couldn't stand him -- but when you get him drunk, the real Rodney shows through. :D Glad you liked it!

And I sooo should have guessed you wrote this - what with Ronon being an artist and certain comments made on your lj in the past!!!

Argh! I'm soooo bad at the author guessing!!
