Nice job with the outsider POV. I was rooting for Leyf to make it home and get the girl :) almost as much as I was waiting for the Team to show up and rescue John. Which they did, just in the nick of time, as they always do! I also liked that you noted the detail that one of them was a traitor and John's advice about it. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment regarding the outsider POV; theladymore's prompt was great and I enjoyed looking at Sheppard through someone else's eyes. And the team..always in the nick of time.

So glad you enjoyed, thanks again!!

Awesome!! Stoic Sheppard guiding these people out of slavedom by his strength of character and strong morale compass......I loved the whump of course and Leyf looking to Shepp

I knew you would love the whump!!!!!

(Sorry fired off unexpectedly!) ...looking to Sheppard tp give him a reason to believe, which Sheppard does...excellent. I also loved how Sheppard wanted Leyf to keep calling him John when they got to Atlantis. This whole story showed so many of the great character traits that are so typically Sheppard.
Loved it hon...thanks for the great read!

So glad you enjoyed, this was a great prompt and I had a lot of fun writing Sheppard through someone else's view.

Thanks again!

Forgot to say....I love the banner for this story. The image of Leyf is perfect!!

Oh...thanks....when I saw that image on Google images...I knew it was Leyf. Glad you liked!!

I just loved this.

John coming to the aid of these slaves without a thought of his own safety was typical. And the way you handled the violence was beautifully done. It was intense, but not violence for its own sake - I really enjoyed this - Thank you.

Joanie.
