A long read but a good one. Thank you! Many roads are paved with good intentions; at the end, they were lucky (and had Rodney) to come away in as good shape as they did. At least now both Rodney and John can value each other... which, after all, was always Teyla and Radek's goal.

Excellent story. Great team bonding and a really interesting story. Makes you wonder if Rodney would have ever tried the healing device again.

Ooh, I loved this! As a recent SGA fan I'm overwhelmed by the amount of truly fantastic fics in this fandom and this one did not disappoint.

Lovely story! i swear i held my breath in through half of it.

Great work, here.

Wow, this was so awesome, you had me up until 4 am and right now i am writing this half dead and craving coffee- from school :) loved it! it was well written and kept my attention at all times, was entertaining and just right amount angsty. Only one very minor,insignificant, teensy weensy, itty bitty personal let down is that the whole afganistan flashback thing did not get more room in the end :) oh but i thank you very much for this story !

Very nice!

I bet that was all part of the plan! Awesome!

Excellent, excellent, excellent story. Truly excellent...The interactions and the circumstance and everything just flowed and slid together perfectly. I loved the ending...the sleeping epidemic was an excellent(there's that word again) touch.

I have but one question...did any of the rescue party have a camera in there possession...because...death's door or not...I can't help but wonder if anyone managed to snap a picture for later use of McKay and Sheppard in that tunnel.

But maybe that's my sibling side showing...I have two after all...and I know the value of a good blackmail. 83

Anywho...wonderful(haha I didn't say excellent...drat!) story! 83

I think you gave Ronon more dialogue in this chapter than he has in a normal Season of SGA! Still, good story, great writing, and still a shame that there's only 5 seasons of one of the best shows ever.

Wonderful story. I was wondering how you were going to get Sheppard out of that one :P

Lurved this story. The Sheppard/Rodney bickering. The Sheppard/Rodney angst. D It was yummy and the characters were perfectly portrayed I think. And I like how you incorporated Teyla and Ronon's...umm...ackwardnessy trusty type issues into it. Hmm.. You know what I mean. (hopefully)

There are many parts that I really loved about this story. The whole Rodney 'death' scene was nice. 3 Sheppard's look at Teyla at the crater when she first told him of her plan. Rodney with Amma. (I just loved the way you write Rodney with children, so bloody perfect.) And of course Rodney saving Sheppard's life and them waiting in the tunnel. Absolutely fawned over Rodney throwing Sheppard's line back at him before healing him. And Sheppard and Rodney waiting in the tunnel. Yeah, I just had to mention that one again.

I haven't noticed a sequel to this one in your other story listings, and I know it's been quite a while since this was originally written, but I would like to just say that if you were ever to write one I would be very happy indeed. It's interesting to me what fallout might happen over these instances and I am insanely curious about what has happened to Sasha, Karmath & Amma and whether or not they're still throwing people in the "incinerator"...

Thank you so much for this story. It's not often that there is believable plot and characters and to top that off with the fact that this piece made me laugh out loud, this was excellent. Please continue with the good work!

Thank God, your work is never done, or where would we fan fic readers be? This was a wonderful tale. Well told and with just the right amount of suspense to keep me hitting the ente button. Thanks for it.

Excellent story, had me perching on the edge of my seat till the end. I liked it very much.

Thanks for a great read! I loved the whumping/angst throughout the fic. Nice job on the characters.
