That was brill! Esp the links between the first and fifth and how his team knew how to deal with him and what he would do after knowing him for longer in the fifth one :)

Hero!Rodney is also a bonus in several of them :D

[linziday]

Thank you! It bothered me that the team hadn't stepped in to stop Rodney from getting shot the first four times, so the last one was my solution to that. I had to have the happy, teamy ending.

Gotta love hero!Rodney. :)

Awwwww, Rodney! These are all wonderful; I love the mix of angsty, funny and sweet, especially how it comes full circle at the end and you get such a fascinating look at how Rodney, and his relationships with the people around him, have changed over the years -- nice touch with Sheppard's warning to Rodney at the beginning of the last section mirroring Rodney's to Sheppard at the beginning! And "plan R". :) d'awwwww.

[linziday]

Thank you! "Plan R" just popped into my head when I started writing the last section and it had Sheppard's voice attached. Go figure. :)

That is so awesome!! I loved every one of them they all were unique and totally good as stand alone stories too! Go you!! Fantastic! :D *applause*

[linziday]

*blushes* Thank you! :D

[sgafan]

Yw! I forgot to mention that I adored the "epiphany" moment at the end, and Ronon's "there wasn't enough yelling" hehehehe

Seriously, Lovely work m'dear! :)

[linziday]

Thank you! That's actually one of my favorite lines in the whole fic.

[mezzo_cammin]

Oh, I love this! Scared-but-brave Rodney is one of my favorite things, and you nailed it!

I love the team interactions, too, and the characterizations were great. You even snuck in a little Radek! yay! Ronon's little "There's usually more yelling." was perfect! *g*

Instant favorite!

[linziday]

*g* Thank you! Ronon's line is one of my favorite lines in this fic. (Maybe because I can just see it so clearly)

Brave little toaster Rodney...always good. :)
