It is way too late to still be up reading, but I just wanted to let you know I enjoyed this very much. These two are my new favourite pairing, and I love how well you've fleshed out their characters!
So, endlich Wochenende. Endlich etwas Zeit zum Aufatmen. Endlich mal ein Tag an dem ich nicht nach Hause komm und halbtot umfall. Es ist ein Tag der mit lauter "Endlichs" gespickt ist. Endlich komm ich dazu, deine geniale Geschichte fertigzulesen!
Also...wie soll ich die letzten 6 Kapitel zusammenfassen? Eigentlich würde ich gern nur sagen, dass ich sie echt cool gefunden hab, aber das wäre ein bisschen wenig, auch wenn es stimmt! Also, zu erstmal zu Will Meyers- das ist ein OC von dir, den ich wirklich, wirklich gern hab. Er hat sowas Sympathisches an sich und dir ist es in all deinen Geschichten gut gelungen, ihn richtig lebensecht und real zu machen- was ja bekanntlich mit OCs immer so eine Sache ist. Kompliment!
Es war auch immer lustig die Gespräche von Lorne und McKay zu lesen, und wie sich die beiden gegenseitig an die Kehle gehen. Besonders genial fand ich dabei den "McCoy"-Kommentar :D
Lorne war natürlich auch, wie immer, richtig getroffen- aber wenn du über ihn schreibst, erwarte ich ja auch gar nichts anderes (-; genauso wie Laura, auch wenn ich mir manchmal gedacht hab, die beiden können schon froh darüber sein, dass sie so einen toleranten CO haben...
Das ist glaub ich wirklich so: wenn man sich immer und immer wieder mit einem bestimmten Charakter beschäftigt, lernt man ihn irgendwann wirklich kennen, und schafft es auch ihn korrekt darzustellen. Wie eben du mit Lorne! Aber einfach ist das trotzdem nicht, also, wie gesagt, meine Komplimente.
Himmel, ich verlern schon Deutsch zu schreiben, mit der ganzen Englisch-Leserei und Schreiberei...Also nochmal eine kleine Gesamtzusammenfasung: Deine Geschichte ist total super!
Und es tut mir wirklich Leid, dass ich nicht schon vorher reviewt hab, aber wie gesagt, ich hatte ziemlich viel Stress und naja. Jetzt geht's langsam aufs Abi zu und die Lehrer scheinen zu denken, dass, nur weil wir uns jetzt Kollegstufe schimpfen, sie uns mit soviel Hausaufgaben, Referaten und zeitraubenden Übungen zuschütten können wie sie wollen. Aber genug von meinem Gejammer.
Du schreibst großartig und ich werde sicherlich immer mal wieder auftauchen- mit welcher Regelmäßigkeit kann ich dir nicht sagen, aber ich bemüh mich, denn es macht immer wieder Spaß, deine Geschichten zu lesen.
So, nachdem du jetzt wahrscheinlich genug von dieser MonsterPM hast- ich wünsch dir alles Gute und hoffentlich bis bald,
Oh, I am so sad this is over and you don't want to continue the series. I love it and the world you have created and your characters. I think there is a lot of humor as well as drama in your work and there all kinds of juicy storylines still dangling. You're torturing me! The fic with Rodney's line sounds great. I wasn't thinking you'd be so predictable as to have him be talking about Lorne and Cadman. I know who I am hoping he is talking about and I'm sure you do too since I am always harassing you for more about this couple. That would be my first choice.
The Letters from Pegasus story sounds great too. That is one of the most moving and emotional episodes from the series, I think. I know I am in the minority but The Shrine left me cold.
A beautiful wrap-up. Very peaceful and sweet and I loved the level of emotion. I'm shocked to see that you think that the stories didn't sound right. I think you are too hard on yourself because I thought all of them were great and incredibly well-written. If you need a beta or just a cheerleader to test something out on some time, I'd be happy to volunteer.
As to your request, you might be stumped because most of the songs I know on that theme are country songs and I'm not sure that musical genre is played outside the US and Australia. Looking through my iTunes library I see a couple songs. There's a Dixie Chicks song, very sad, called "Travelin' Soldier" with very appropriate lyrics and another more humorous (but still tearjerking) song called "Letters from Home" by John Michael Montgomery about a soldier getting letters. There's a Johnny Cash song by the same name too. He has a song called "Tear stained letter" on the American IV, same album as his cover of Nine-Inch Nails "Hurt," which I think is one of his best songs ever. Very Sheppard-ish actually now that I think about it ("Hurt").
Non-country song-wise, there's a good song by the Scottish rock/pop band Texas called "Postcard." Rachel Yamagata, who has a quite ethereal voice, has a song called "Letter Read."
Try looking on Amazon or iTunes maybe to spark your imagination?
I'm not sure what you mean by the whole complex of brothers etc.
I have been enjoying this series; re P&S VI, my opinion, for what it's worth, is that the "Rodney's wedding quote" story would be a nice, lighter/more humour based next installment. Even if the GI JOe/Lara Croft in question are not our fav farm boy and his gal, you can still get a lot of fun from how inevitably everyone from Sheppard through Zelenka, etc will be making arch comments at the duo. Of course, if it is their wedding, you can get heaps of fun as their blood pressure goes into orbit - every couple who have ever wed have at some point wished they could either elope or put their relatives in suspended animation for the day and then present them with a fait accompli. If you want some angst to balance out a story that - should - be full of Rodney snarking and witticisms by characters to the hapless duo, you could include that man you mention in the epilogue? Simmons? Who was derogatory about Evan? (or was it Cadman..hang on...nope, Evan). Maybe he could try and scupper Lorne & Sheppard's report about being sensible and letting people just get on with adult relationships in like with UN regulations rather than the restrictive, oppressive - and to be honest, not that realistic - US military ones? I'm sure he'd petulantly try to stick his oar in as it were. Just thoughts - oh, and maybe you could bring back Meyers in a cameo role; his character played off well against Lorne. I think that's what's lacking from the TV show - Sheppard has Rodney to spark off and his character is funnier for it, Lorne and Zelenka were excellent playing off each other (see that scene in The Game) and it's a pity there wasn't more of that included in the show. Sorry to ramble on here, just an idea you might be interested in.
I'm all misty eyed after the ending of that! It was beautiful. So glad that Laura finally came clean about the torture in that cave. I think she needed that. And nice touch with the tattoo.
As for your other story requests, I'll get my cap on and start thinking hard on that!
Please dont abandon them, I love the way you write the PAS series. It's fantastic. Don't give up!
M, very good, and I picked up on a couple 'interesting/intriguing' things so here goes.
I'll give you the single "bad" thing first:
"It had made her want to be alone with him even harder." this sentence(at the end of the 3rd paragraph) isn't sitting well not sure why but the words, maybe...
"...from various members of the Atlantis officer corps, including Maureen Reece, Thomas Moore..."
Love, love, love that Reece and Moore 'hopped' across the line after Evan's little appearance in their world ;)
Though depending I may have to bow out of the second story you mentioned(though you know me I'll give it the good ole college try ;) )
Um, if you need help with anything- you know how to get ahold of me. I'm still working on the song thing and have a few leads to track down tonight(now that I got my iTunes issue figured out).
Ok, this one keeps getting better and better. I swear I do a little happy dance every time I see it in my inbox! AS such, I'm doing a long one where I comment on everything I like cos it just has to be done!
Love the moment with Teyla and Torren coming to see Laura. So cute that the notion of being a mother occurs to her immediately, even if she's uncomfortable at the thought. It shows that she has really deep feelings for Evan. Love that.
Love the little details about John and Teyla and how there might be something there (we all know there SO is!)and the way John just doesn't like Kanaan. I love all the little details you put in there, it makes it easier to read because I can picture it in my head as it's happening.
Wow! Evan is calling Sheppard John! Nice to see that they're friends as well as colleagues. And lovely touch with the promotion btw, great addition to the scene. And nice touch with the little kiss on the forehead and how uncomfortable it makes Shep, even though the regs are relazed enough to allow it. Poor John, he really hates PDA doesn't he! I like that Laura thanked him on their behalf, too. Shows that they're really tight as a couple and very much together.
One of the things I like best about this is the way he just loves her. And the worry and concern that can finally be allowed to show in him now that she's safe and sound. It's so beautifully written, just the way I imagine them to be.
So Laura is 28, huh? How old do you make Evan then? That's just a curiousity of mine, did you ever mention his age in another story? I must go back and re-read them and see. She's kick ass enough to want to do her own thing and in love enough to want him to protect her just a little even if she'll never tell him!
What a fabulous ending. I loved it. Marines are better than Zoomies anyday! Classic Cadman pov. Evan will have to show her exactly what flyboys are capable of!
Sorry it's so long, but I loved it. I can't say enough good about it! I hope you keep writing more and more about these two.
Holy wow, batman, good chapter. Glad to see you recognized my issues ;) ;) Took me a while to fight my way through this one but really good. Loved seeing Torren and Teyla stopping by. John was so sweet too. Oh and that pesky Major, I still just want to steal him ;) ;) :P
Gorgeous end. I love the promotion, Teyla and Torren, her thanking John, Evan and she finally having it out, the jokes about Meyers, all of it. The emotions are written beautifully. Please tell me that the tension and hints about stuff going on between Teyla and John will be followed up on in the epilogue and ANOTHER (I am shamelessly begging for more!) story in this awesome series? Please? Pretty please? I just can't get enough of it. I hope Laura gets her promotion and Meyers too. Plus I am dying to meet Mrs. Meyers and see how the petition to the IOA works out. And if they catch Michael and what they do to him? Plus can we finally get rid of the hated Kanaan?
I'm so glad she woke up and that we get so much good Meyers time here. I seriously adore him. He is incredibly vivid and I hope we get to see his wife. The mention of the gossip about John and Teyla makes me VERY HAPPY and I hope we see more of that as well from John and Teyla's perspectives too maybe? More J/T period?
The gossip and what is said about them as recounted by Meyers was hilarious. What do they say about John?
NIce wrap-up of Sgt. McPherson and Lt. Simmons. Meyers definitely deserves a reward for risking charges for insubordination for telling an officer off/what to do.
Why is Albright going home? Did I miss something that would have created personal reasons?
Gee really know how to give a girl heart failure don't ya dear? I think this is the chapter I struggled most with(for reasons you know). Then again I really can't say much since I've apparently been drawn into a wee bit of that stuff myself this week.
