I haven't read much SG:Atlantis, since I'm still back at the end of season 2 and haven't got caught up yet, but since your fic fits in there so nicely, I decided to check it out, and I'm very glad I did :P Wonderful story, and I'm always for Rodney thumping :P

Your story was recently recommended, and I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed it. Your Rodney voice is fantastic - the ramblings, the momentary panics, the frustration at not being able to work on the problem. And Teyla bursting into giggles when Sheppard finally finds them was perfect.

This is superb. Your characterisation is excellent, your ability to build tension is extraordinary, and your sense of humour is wonderful. Please, please, please write more Atlantis stories, pretty please with sprinkles on top.

I simply love this story. It is so well organized and plotted. Your dialogue is very suited to each of the characters, who are so well represented here. I really apprectiate that the humor is organic and comes from the wit of the people, not some forced attempt to insert it into a situation.

Thank you for sharing your gift of words.

This was fantastic! Best read I've had for ages. Everything was just right. I loved Rodney's internal monologue, there were some wonderfully funny bits. I hope you write more SGA and in particular some more Rodney whumping. You are very good at it.

Fabulous story. McKay's voice and character resonates through the whole thing, and you have both perfectly. Well done! Can I echo what other people have said, that it's an unusual combination of Teyla and McKay that I wish we could see more of. You've sated my need for a while, anyway.

Thank you so much for posting it.

Why not make a sequl story from this one, like Teyla got a chance to go Earth with Rodney or something you can write. Smile

Hi! Found this fic via a recommendation on the SGAHC yahoo list and I'm so glad I did. There aren't many fics that team up Rodney and Teyla and you've wonderfully demonstrated how well that combo can work. I never would have thought it could work so well, but you really made it shine. Makes me want to read more fics about them getting into strife together. So, I really hope you are planning on writing some more. And even though the other characters were on the periphery, they were still wonderfully drawn and perfectly in character. Oh, and you write Rodney's voice beautifully too. Great stuff!

This was extraordinary! I'm so glad it was rec'd my way. Wonderful story. I love the interactions between all your characters particularly McKay and Teyla. A terrific balance of sweetness without turning into sap! Lovely story!

Superb story with wonderful characterisation and convincing technological details. Great stuff!

Still engrossing, wonderful storyline and well-written.

Nice work. Well done. I loved the Rodney whump and enjoyed having Teyla down there with him. All parts and aspects writtenn beautifully - especially the present tense which is so often hard to maintain.

Thanks!

From the beginning to the end, this was incredible. You captured the characters, especially Teyla and Rodney, so well that I could wish this was an SGA episode. I hope you plan to heavily feature these two in your future fics.

But O'Neill's pilot somehow manages to run the drone into the ground, and O'Neill is so impressed, he blows off every single security and clearance procedure the SGC has ever established -- and believe me, that encompasses quite a lot of blowing off, not that I'd expect anything less from O'Neill -- and brings him into the facility.

Ha! Yes! You're the first author I've seen to wonder about that. --And even come up with a way for it to happen.

I'm quite enjoying this.

Great story. Liked McKay's bid for sympathy 'purely for the sake of accuracy', and his annoyance at Weir's response. And the ending was very sweet. Loved it!
