Loved seeing the events of the Mensa AU through Lorne's eyes :-)

I'm sorry it took me so long to leave feedback, but it's finals weeks and I've been swamped.

That being said, I loved this! Lorne was great here -- he was recognizable in all the ways that mattered and the differences added such a nice touch. I love the backstory with Maddie and the way writing the letters provided him with comfort. That really tells a lot about the relationship between the two of them without saying anything at all, which was brilliant.

I loved the way he developed a grudging respect for John and the way he dealt with everything in a very casual, off-handedly funny manner was great. And the military details with Ford and Sumner were fantastic -- I loved the way you flipped those around from canon.

This was so great! Thank you so much -- I really enjoyed reading this! :)

Great story! I love stories that tell the story through someone else's eyes. Also I liked the lines at the beginning about the crew being to much trouble to keep. Too true.
