That was BEAUTIFUL! I love this being from Melena's POV and seeing a young Ronon through her eyes. Their interactions are powerful and full of history!

It was great fun to conjure up an idea of Melena, and to give her & Ronon a romance that didn't include imminent danger. Thank you for your comments. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it!

Lovely! I really like Melena, and Charra as well. And your world building is spectacular. I especially loved how real the romance between Ronon and Melena felt. Wonderful details. Enjoyed the story very much!

Whee! I'm so excited that you liked the world-building! I'm happy that the romance felt real, too, and that the details worked. Thank you so much!

This was beautiful. Very sensual with detailed,wonderful imagery.I could visualize it clearly.
You wove a beautiful picture of the character of Melena,starting with her birth.
The gradual build up and beginnings of her relationship with Ronon was very romantic as well.

Awww, yay! Fancy seeing you here :) I'm so pleased that you liked this, that the visuals translated, and that Melena (and her relationship with Ronon) appealed to you. Thank you so much!

I loved the world you built in this, the descriptions were beautiful (I hate to think of all that must have been destroyed, after). but it's not the time to think of that and I loved your take on Melena, who has to live with the weight of an old prophecy and Ronon who just cares about her, the beautiful young girl. you describe youth and innocence really well, and it makes my heart hurt for Ronon who lost so much.

I am so excited that you liked this. *beams* I had a great time imagining this world, and that the visual descriptions shone through is wonderful. I wanted Melena's story to be a bit fairy tale-ish, except without the happy ending, and feeling the weight (exactly!) of something that she cannot control. Very happy that the young love innocence came through too, and oh, I know. RONON.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback.
