You know I'm not a shipper, so this isn't usually the sort of story I'd ever read, but as you wrote it, I wanted to have a look. Though I'm not a fan of John/Teyla or John and any main cast member, I did really like this, well, for me, quite sad story - though there is underlying hope there, I can see. The descriptions were wonderful, and I feel weary and sore just reading this! You yet again create a desolate and harsh way of life so incredibly well. I did like the comfort John and Teyla obviously give each other, and I found your writing to be very sensual yet tastefully done. Ronon's as grumpy as he would be being injured, and Rodney's his snarky usual self. It's nice to read a story from Teyla's pov, so often she's ignored. So, though I'll always be wary about reading anything with romantic pairings in it, I did really like this because you wrote it so very beautifully. Well done. It's good to diversify when the results are as good as this :)
