Wonderful. Rodney is such a paradox of overwhelming arrogance and fragile uncertainty, that in the end he achieves miracles and doesn't even see them. It's wonderful.

it's harsh, that he wouldn't save sheppard if it meant one of the marines died. i like that he wasn't happy with that choice either though.

That's quite possibly the best sga story i've ever read. thank you very much for writing this! You've got a nice grasp of the characters, good story too, nice psychological twist... I hope you have others stories, i'm gonna check it out right now.

good job

Very, very good. Characterizations are spot on, especially Rodney's frantic scrambling to fix everything and Ronon's easy acceptance of his potential fate. It sure is nice to see some actual science fiction in a sci-fi based story. Thank you for posting.

Oh my God.

I love you.

I know I should be more detailed than that, but everything's wonderful. The emotion, the plot, Rodney, the realization at the end, oh... everything.

Gah. Thank you for this.

OMG I am so in love with story. I am just speechlessly in love with this story.

Boy! Did I like this or what? I was kinda lost in all the scenarios, but I figured it out. Great story. Thanks.

=) lovely piece. Great characterization!

You are awesome and you are cool and should be worshiped accordingly!

Awesome story, must have more soon! Please!

Wow. That was awesome. Badass. Good techno-babble, by the way. Very good. Sounds completely plausible to my scientifically uneducated mind. Wonderfully written, as are all your works (I'm a One Piece/Atlantis fan, as it were). Poignant in some parts, and I think I liked the ending especially. How it all turned out. Yeah, that was the best part. Definitely.

Couldn't find anything wrong with it... well, if I were to nitpick, I would say that Sheppard's dog tags wouldn't say LT COL JOHN A SHEPPARD. They're not written like that. It would say SHEPPARD JOHN A on first line, your military ID number followed by your branch (USN, USAF, etc) and your blood type on the second line, the third line being your religious pref... but yeah, that's not really noticeable (I'm in the military, so I couldn't help but notice). Couldn't find any typos or anything like that (was really too caught up in the story to pay much attention, though, haha =)

Again, awesome job. Totally going in my favs.

What a clever story and so well written. Your techno-babble certainly convinced me. Thank you! And any story that puts Rodney through the wringer so thoroughly and keeps him so in character deserves an extra cookie.

I loved this. It was fascinating to read all the different ways Rodney tried to save Shepherd, the physics meditations and the science behind telling the future. Fantastic story. You really gripped me despite keeping all the real action to a holographic room and you made the techonology brilliantly real. Well done and more of these please!

this story is wonderful. It demonstrates how much Rodney is willing to risk and how hard he will work, in his own way, to save Sheppard's life. The writing is crisp and clear and flows beautifully. Good job.

Brilliant! Got the rec from the SGAHC, and they were dead on! I loved the FTC!

Very nice. I read this over on LJ and while I meant to do a review of it, I forgot. I really did love it. The tension and Rodney's determination to get it right, to save Sheppard without sacrificing anyone else.


I am so glad to see this over here as now I can print it out.
