Upon re-reading (a friend and I were talking about how disgusting leeches are, and it made me think about this story), this fic is even better than I remember. Great premise, extremely entertaining.

Fantastic disgustingness with the whole vomiting alien leech. I loved every minute of this story,very well written.

What a great story! A very fast-paced read, and nicely in-character too. I'm off to check out your other work.

Fate is not being kind to our Rodney. He gets hit by Shep, then poleaxed by Ronon and just when he thinks all is well and he's safe and sound, those horrid beasties get him. Is he going to suffer the same fate as John? Heaven forbid. Carson will never let it happen - we hope. Great tension in this chapter.

And I thought the first lot of leeches was horrific. Ew, Shep throwing up was a thing of nightmares. Good grief, I want to get rid of that image, but it is so vivid it is stuck there!

And just when I was so impressed with Rodney's abilities in subduing Shep, Ronon comes along and looks as if he is going to negate all the good work.

Poor Zelenka; I felt like crying for him when, after all their hard work and hopes, it all went wrong and to cap it all, your description of Ronon was priceless!

Now I love it when the intrepid duo are snarky with each other, but being mean? Something is so off. Come on Caldwell, it isn't often you can save the day, but your presence is desperately needed.

I somehow have my doubts about how successful they are going to be on their hunting adventure.

I'd be surprised if anyone joined the military after reading this story - very realistic.

Urgh! You had me practically crawlng out of my skin. If there is one thing I can't stand it is leeches. When I lived in Turkey, one of the managers of the company where I worked used leeches to suck his blood on a regular basis. He thought it was a good thing. And maybe it was. But when I saw those little things, it took all my will power not to scream blue murder. No doubt those were nice leeches. Something tells me Shep's leeches aren't!

I enjoyed the Teyla/Ronon moment when she is giving him a good beating. It isn't often we see Teyla show her emotions. Subtle, yet nicely done with Ronon doing the psycho-analysing.

On the whole I don't believe in hitting children (and yes, I do have two of my own) but honestly, my hand is itching to smack Rodney. I take my hat off to Shep to have restrained himself so well. Maybe, his self-control will fail in this story as we've been forewarned that there's a pyscho Shep.

Teehee! I enjoyed this story very much. Especially "drunk" John and Rodney giggling while they're trying to hold hostages. Quite amusing.

That was brilliant - well not for Jacobson, Teyla and Ronon. Action packed and a great read. Ew parasites.

I burst out laughing when I read this - "He’d been through some weird situations since he’d been assigned to SGC but for some reason having to consider Rodney McKay armed and dangerous seemed stranger than all of the other situations put together."

A very inventive story and absolutely exciting. Very well written.

Loved this one as well. Love the interplay between the characters and the moments of levitity.

You keep maiming Ronan though, what have you got against the shaggy haired git?
