Yay! A Zelenka story! I love Radek, he's always so sweet and infinitely more understanding and patient with McKay than the man has any right to expect. Loved this.

This was really a great tag. I came upon this story by accident and am really glad I did. I loved how Radek went out of his way to make sure both John and Rodney were going to be ok, idividually and together. You nailed the characters so well - something that is not as easy as it looks. Even after waking up in the infirmary, Radek's first thoughts were whether the two guys had "talked". I just loved the whole story. Well done.

Awesome story. It was a pleasure to read

This was just too absolutely adorable! I loved feeling Shepard's and McKay's anguish through Zalenka's eyes. And his insight into both men was quite - wonderful. Just an all-around warm & fuzzy feeling - ya know?

I hope your fingers are flying away at your keyboard for the next great work. Can't wait to read more of your stuff!

I really like the descriptions of the different characters' mannerisms and expressions, like Keller's "iron smile" to Rodney's defensive stance. It makes it all the more vivid and easier to envision, resulting in an almost cinematic reading (if that makes any sense). A very enjoyable read and a great tag to a very dramatic episode.

great fic!

I loved this! A masterful way to move from the astrangement the two friends had to a mending of the friendship. It read as a natural evolution between the two states and the end was a classic one. Wonderful story! Thank you for writing this!

OMG that was awesome! I know they can't say this on the show, well won't really, but the points you had Radek made about Rodney were so correct and its rarely addressed on the show. Except humorously and then by Rodney himself. Excellent point about Elizabeth too, all in all a very moving chapter, these were not dry statements either. A very real, nearly palatable emotive charge with the passages. Thank you for writing this!

That was incredible! I was a bit misty eyed there when Rodney went on a perfectly reasonable for him tirade. You wrote that so well, I could fully empathize why he was doing what he insisted on doing. And what was going through John's head. Nice touch taking it all the way back to the beginning. Thank you for this tag.

Nice beginning. I enjoyed how you didn't spell it out why John was in the mood he was in, at the same time you did. If one read into what he was saying as well as how he spoke. Looking forward to reading the rest of the chapters.

loved it, and I liked your verson of adrift as well!

Rodney and Radek are a good match in this story. Neither will rest until things are *fixed*. It's just which things, that's the difference.

I'm a bit behind in my Atlantis viewing, so am just reading this now. I felt that the transition between the landing and their suddenly being on that planet, Ronon going off to do missions and etc., was way too easy, way too smooth. I'm glad that you've chosen to set this story when you have. It provides connection that was missing in the actual series.

Nice ending, fits the story well. Thanks.

Gwah, I loved it!! I'm always a sucker for tags =) I
