Great story! It was interesting to see how their lives would have turned out if they hadn't chosen the paths they did. It was cool to see how it would have effected the universe in total. Wonderful job!

Well, belated merry Christmas and apologies for the lateness of my fb.

Excellent fic. The 'real' moments were interesting, with the team all out of sorts, even going so far as to start fighting! Only to be interrupted by a man who shouldn't even be there. I liked his disregard for everyone's threats/intelligence/questions and found myself chuckling at several of his dry comments. His story, after they'd all awoken from their own nightmares, was sad and I liked that the team were once more united and even went back to invite Eelon. It was a bit of a mystery that he'd apparently never even been real, but I'm glad he helped them all realise they were where they should be.

As for the team, each person's nightmare was harrowing and yet very apt, each person having done something that was entirely plausible: Rodney picking music; Ronon, just this once, running instead of fighting; Teyla, just this once, deciding not to help; John never taking the first step down the path of 'leave no man behind'. I liked how they each managed to meet some version of the others in their nightmares, but in the wrong circumstances and I liked that it ultimately proved that they shouldn't doubt themselves as it could've easily been much worse.

Nice happy team togetherness at the end and a good story for Christmas time.

Sing us a song your the piano man! Oh what a lovely story indeed. Was that a bell at the end; did a Nox get his wings or mossy hair? A late review but a wonderful story for anytime of year! I laughed, I cried, it was much better than Cats. I will read it again and again. ;)

LOL a very appropriate present for Rodney - “How to Survive Almost Anything.”

That was a great take on the "It's a Wonderful Life" theme. You took a lot of care in creating the AUs of each character. All very plausible in the SG world. And your character voices were spot on, as always. Thanks for writing this.

Very nice. I liked how each of the possible AU worked and the consquences of the choices each of the characters made.

Some high points - I like how Rodney, even as a musician was still basically the same guy - a snarky profectionist. And I liked how his best friend in that reality was very much like Sheppard.

I liked how in Ronon, Teyla's and even Sheppard's dreams the other characters were there - or at least mentioned. I liked the idea of McKay leading a protest (something I could see him doing if he were pushed far enough) and how in Sheppard's dream he and McKay hit it right off.

Okay, that was, in John Sheppard's inimitable style, "Cool!" Thank you very much! Becky
