I like this story a lot. I liked that John allowed his team to help him. Loved the team moments.

Thanks! I love team moments, so they're almost always in my fic.

Oh, mute!John! I love it!

I like that you threw us right in the middle of the story with Rodney running to the shooting range to rescue John.

I like how the Team stands by John in this situation and helps him through it.

Thank you for this fic! :)

awwww! Thank you, thank you. I love stories where we're dropped right in the middle of the action and this was a tense ride. I'm a sucker for medical realism, so I loved how you weaved all the details about the damage done to John's lungs and his need for monitoring which of course lead to Team Protection and Team Concern with are my favs!

Loved how John was both independent yet, needed those gentle instances to depend on his team. You wrote a clever 'reason' for the assassination attempt and we still had heroic!Sheppard in the end. Thank you again.

Oh, thank you. So glad you liked it!! You deserve a hell of a story for putting together secret santa. I don't know if this counts, but hopefully it's a small thank you.

Also, your prompt? Awesome!

That was great! Jumping right into the action worked well, and really gave a good sense of suspense and urgency to the story. I had a feeling it was that gate tech, since she came back so quickly after Rodney shooed her away. John's just lucky that Ronon's a light sleeper. Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks! I wondered whether anyone would guess it was the gate tech. :)
