Thanks for the feedback! :-D

And it makes me wanna sing Dare You To Move for some reason, huh.

Huh. It reminds me more of "This Is Your Life," but "Dare You To Move" works well, too.

Still a fabulous story, hon. *applauds*

["You shouldn't have -- you were supposed to --" He stops speaking so suddenly that she wonders whether the radio went out. "You were going to live. For ten years, you were going to live."]

Yes, I was expecting you to kill off John. Yes, I'm overjoyed that you didn't. It's bit too early for me to be thinking hard, so I mostly skimmed over the time travel explanation with trying to puzzle it through, but it sounded pretty logical (or as logical as Stargate ever gets, that is) to me; definitely an interesting idea!

John's line there at the end is possibly more heartbreaking than anything else in this story, because of everything it implies and outright states: that he had gone to what should have been his death knowing it would keep her safe, willing to sacrifice himself to buy her another ten years; the fear and pain I can easily imagine hearing when he realizes that now she may die at any moment, that the future he was trying to guarantee may as well be gone...

Then again, I could be reading way too far into that, but it's alright
