YES.

I have no other words for this one.

Just -- YES. Especially the ending.

Thank you so much :D Succinct works too ;)

Wow, that was mindblowingly good. From the snark of Sheppard and Rodney to the adventure, the shep whump (absolutely fantastic), the team rescue and taking care of Sheppard, the return to Atlantis and the discussion between Sheppard and Wolsley - this was a masterpiece from beginning to end. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart. Enjoyed it the first time and will enjoy it again and again.

Aw, *blush* Thank you! It gave me problems here and there and I almost didn't make the deadline (danged RL) but it was a fun project! have wanted to do the "You trespassed on our sacred ground and must die!" angle for a long time. ;)

Thanks! the ending really gave me grief in a lot of ways and took a couple rewrites to get right. LOL Glad you enjoyed it :D

I've been waiting along time for a really good story and you nailed it. I'm always hoping for alittle more infirmary discussion but do admit it isn't always that easy to write. Very well done.

Well, in the original ending, there was an infirmary scene but when I went back and looked at it, it didn't do anything for the story or to move the story along. I quite frequently use infirmary scenes in my HC fics (I cut my teeth writing in a medical fandom so I have a soft spot for them) but it just didn't work into this story for some reason... maybe because I was running out of time and wanted to do *more* if I did one, but couldn't. Not sure.

But promise to bring them back in future stories :D

Thank you!
