Well, I had some time to write, and as I've been feeling profoundly ignored lately (in RL), this is what happened. So I hope you can forgive a little projecting

Wow such an intense story with a lot of raw emotions...Great way to flesh out John's past history with relationships...I was shocked, almost wanted to rebel at the idea of John hitting Teyla by accident with the sparring stick but it just seemed to go with his emotional state...I had to read it again...and again just to take everything in...the mirroring thunder was a wonderful atttibute to emphasis the turmoil of the story...
Thank you - I'm so glad you liked it! I knew I was going out on a limb, having him hit her like that, but it felt to me like the only believable way to snap him out of it... I was a little worried about how people would react.
And about the thunder - I intended the storm to be symbolic; that's what the last two lines are about.
We love you CeeKay! *Ahem*.... anyway... about the story. Very powerful, you intesified the idea that I think really exists in the show right now, that John *is* very open about his feelings for Teyla and she isn't the same. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you in that she has them- she just doesn't show as easily. This could definitely leave John feeling insecure. Perhaps, it's why he slips up with other women so often?
Anyway- I would love to read a resolution to this, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you! (((sanssong))) I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this one so much - I had fun with it. No resolution coming, though... that's the whole point. ;)
I like you theory on the so-called "kirking" - I was having a bit of trouble justifying it, myself. But your idea makes a lot of sense. :D
:D I enjoy doing evil things to characters... that's why I consider myself a "whumper-shipper." ;)
As for the kirking. It came to me that John wouldn't just wait for Teyla if he didn't think she returned his feelings.
Oh... I was thinking more along the lines of insecurity. She's not expressing any feelings for him and that sort of freaks him out, so he seeks comfort in other women's arms - and never finds it. Poor clueless John... lol.
Ooh - I think I just saw a plot bunny go hopping by... :D
