Harrowing for Sheppard, and not any better once he
returns to Atlantis, but in the end team is his
support...as it should be
Great story.

Lovely! I really liked the "truth" serum - when the truth was more powerful than any deceit. John's 'voice' seemed very authentic, too. And this is the best explanation of Sheppard-snark I've ready anywhere"

"Having control, any kind of control, even dust motes of it, provided a reason to hope; a reason to hope kept one alert and ready to make that hope viable.

It also frustrated the bad guys, and a flustered bad guy could be a clumsy, off-guard bad guy."

Thanks!

that was awesome! loved how john knew his team would NEVER betray him and how they cared for him, making him see what was reality. great job as always! :D

Aw, poor John :(. Stupid people and their stupid tests!

I always enjoy your fic, because you always give a well rounded characterisation to John and the others and you always show how close the team are to each other. Poor John, so utterly devastated at the loss of his friends, I'm not surprised it made him react the way he did combined with the drugs in his system. I loved how Ronon, Rodney and Teyla broke through that and convinced John that they were all alive and well.

This story reminds me about what I love - the team, John doing his all for them. It is beautifully written. Thanks so much.

great story, i love the whole team aspect of stargate.

Nice. The whole paint idea was original and actually a very interesting concept... In a realm where all stories seem to be filled with Mary Sues and repetitive ideas, this was so refreshing.

Yeow, very moving story, especially Sheppard's reaction to his team's death, and then slowly realizing that they really are still alive. Beautiful story.

It's been awhile since I've felt compelled to review a story. I just haven't really been moved by anything I've read here lately. Until now. This was amazing! I loved everything about it. The characterizations, the TEAM! Often angst is just so sappy that you lose the true nature of the characters. This was the perfect amount of angst. Everything was very believable and just oh so sweet. I especially loved Ronon's reaction in this. Just Absolutely Perfect =]

great story. Enjoyed it a lot.

That was one roller coaster ride of a story! Good, really good!

Great fic. Loved the infirmary scene at the end.

Another great story from you :D ! great job :D

holy crap! two Stealth Dragon stories back to back? You spoil us :)

That was so incredible. So powerful. I loved it. Loved the team aspect. Loved how strongly John felt about his team and that he told them
