AWESOME! I love Sheppard/Atlantis stories and this was great. I love the way it starts with subtle little things and then it advances into weirdness with the ATA carriers' behavior. Pretty soon you know John and Rodney are definitely getting wacky, you just don't know why. John stabbing himself was quite a shock and I can see how that would both surprise and horrify Ronon. The part with John bashing his head into the mirror was also pretty intense. You did a wonderful job portraying the darkness that was beseiging him as he lost the ability to think rationally.
