That was beautiful. You have truly captured Todd's essence with skill not often seen. I have not read anything like this and most likely never will again. This story is unique in it's originality and is great in its portrayal of the episode. Well done.

Cool story, very interesting idea and nicely written. Lots and lots of memorable quotes. Thanks for making this up!

This was stunningly perfect. It's almost... well it's somewhat disturbing that you've managed to write from a Wraith's POV with such flawlessness. But then again I did like the Wraith in this episode. I can't wait to see him again. You think he's gonna be back? If not, I'm counting on YOU to write the sequel!

This is good.

It's really really good.

Wow.

I was waiting to se if anyone would do something like this; I really wanted to read something that cementd a bond btween Sheppard and the Wraith. I just loved this ep. and this fic does it the justice it deserves.

Any plans for a sequel maybe?

There's some brotherly bonds that could be investigated.

Wow. I am blown away by this tag. Very well done!

well done, very very well done.

can't wait for us to met this wraith again... a priest... that would explain the unique face markings maybe.

good story.

That was absolutely awesome. I LOVED it.

You've written the Wraith very well indeed, and I truly enjoyed reading this. Might I be able to archive it in my C2?

Simply wonderful! I adore this and commend you on such a moving and poignant story. Hugs to you sweetie!

Amazing. I loved it. Most of the Common Ground tags are told from Sheppard's or the team's viewpoint. To see one from the Wraith, and once so well written and insigthful was great. It definitely explains why the Wraith acted as he did. I hope that we do see them meeting again. It'll defenetily be interesting to see how Sheppard deals with seeing him again. Hey, maybe you could write something along those lines. If not, maybe you could write about Sheppard's viewpoint. I know, it's been done adn re-done, heck, even I've done it. But you present a different explanation/context for the events and I'd love to see how Sheppard responds to the bond you describe, if he's aware of it at all.

That was darn good. Really like the Wraith's side of events. I got the feeling that he was only use to the cruelty and deceitfulness the Genii rep'd. Of course there is always the fear and everyman for himself side of humans that would be displayed during a culling. Sheppard's faith in a rescue would have seemed odd indeed. Well done and great storytelling!

Excellent, excellent job! There have been many tags to Common Ground and even a few from the Wraith's POV but yours is far and away my favorite! I love the Wraith's analogy of Elizabeth as the Queen of Sheppard's Hive and how he thinks of Kolya as The Hated One. The Wraith's thoughts and insights add so much to the story. And it makes sense that he, like Sheppard, has his Queen's trust and respect. I can easily see how the Wraith and Sheppard developed their bond and discovered that there is more to both Wraith and human that wasn't known. Thank you so much for writing this!
