Great story!! It's very good!! I loved this line: “Be prepared,” the entire team chimed in together except for McKay who was shooting Teyla a dirty look. She merely glanced to Radek, who nodded to Beckett, who nudged Lorne, who gave Dex a shrug, who rolled his eyes and sighed heavily, before staring at Sheppard.

a really, rally god story this one! i loved it, read it once before but i didn't post some feedback, so I'm doing it now.

i liked it all the way, nothing to complain about (i wouldn't anyway) so keep on it! keep writing!

Cool story (pardon the pun)!

Delightful story, you really whumped on them this time :P

Excellent story. Certainly one of my favorites. Only saw one small mistake and that was where you talk about Rodney and Radek knowing each other before coming to Atlantis. In season one when SGA-1 is wedged in the stargate and asking for help, McKay says..."and the Czech, the one I can never remember his name." Other than that great story. Should see about publishing.

Very good story; but I am surprised they actually wanted to go back to the planet and ski. Ah well I guess bad memories are better replaced with good ones now that everyone is well.

Great story.

Wow - what a ride you sent the gang through here. :)

Good story telling all around - I enjoyed the tale.

I just wanted to point out one itty bitty missed thing: “There on their way, John. You should be seeing them soon,”

There should be They're. :)

English is *such* a p.i.t.a. and one of the *hardest* to master writing of, because it's been bastardized by being forced into a Latin rule base when it's Germanic in origin - the two just don't quite match! (Can you say, head desk 10 times fast? *laugh*)

Other than that - really good! I truly enjoyed this and getting to see more about Rodney, Carson & Radek pre-Atlantis was nice.

Very enjoyable!

I don't read much Atlantis fic but a friend with a serious McKay obsession rec'd this one and I'm glad she did.

Great handle on the characters! You definitely have a feel for their personalities and "voices" as well.

Great job!

This was an absolutely amazing story. I really enjoyed reading it:)

Oh what an enormous story! Well done.

The number of fanfics I have read that could have easily been a novel or an episode can be counted on one hand, maybe two. This is one of them. Excellent, excellent job--and way to share the whumping around! ;-) Carson never gets enough air time in fanfic; it's nice to see him featured so well here, and, between he and Rodney, how each gets to save the other throughout the story.

What a perfect ending. Absolutely perfect. And believe me when I say that no other moment in any other story thus far has made it so effortless for me to picture how it would look on screen. Well done.

Twelve chapters! That MUST be a record!

hehehe...yes!

Okay...this is me as each team member gets their respective whumpage: Where's Sheppard? Woot! There he is! Okay now Sheppard...umm...now Sheppard?? Oh come on! There we go...now Sheppard...WHAT??! No Shep whumping?? Not fair!

"We are to be the fifth team."

Me: AH HA! I knew it! It's not possible! It would defy the laws of the Pegasus galaxy to have everyone BUT Sheppard get it!

Still...ten chapters in without causing damage...that's gotta be a record.

Alrighty...now I have to finish the chapter...
