This was such beautiful fic. It was somewhat reminiscent of the relationship between Todd and Sheppard in "Common Ground" except that Leyf obviously isn't a wraith.

I loved when John was rescued and Leyf recognized Teyla quickly. Anyway thank you so much for the fic I really enjoyed it!

So glad that you enjoyed...John does have a knack for getting people to trust him, doesn't he? Wonderful prompt...it was interesting to write Sheppard from another POV.

Just pleased that you enjoyed, was happyt to write it for you. Happy New Year!!

Great story! I love the way you wrote Sheppard (Stoic!Sheppard, indeed). Your OC, Leyf, was quite awesome as well.
Thanks for sharing this :D

Thank you! Poor Sheppard, we whump him and he just keeps going and never complains. I'm glad you liked Leyf; I had fun writing him.

Thanks so much for your comment and glad you enjoyed the story.
