*squeaks* Ooh, gone back in time, have you? Sweet! I recall us discussing some of the ideas we had for this story, so I'll be thrilled to see what you guys have come up with! :D

"A stampede of what?" Jack demanded.
"Suitors," Catherine said with the air of someone being overly patient. "Sixteen is widely considered marriageable age. Even aside from the noblemen in Atalan who might seek her hand, there are any number of men from other nations who, I have no doubt, are already awaiting a chance to present themselves to the princess and attempt to win her favor."

"They'll have to get through Sumner first," Tagan said with a grin, but Catherine shook her head.

HEE! Indeed, they will have to get through the excellent captain first! Ah, Sumner, I miss you. ;)

Great start! :)

You're not wrong. Haven was the last flashback story, and it was posted back during Season 1. There were no flashback stories in Season 2, since we were stressed enough keeping up with current events. ;)

I really love the Teyla segment. The visual of her doing all the manual labor so lovingly is a beautiful one. Her mature realization that she hast to grapple with political court nuance is also awesome.

Oh, Ren!Teyla. You are so great. :-)

Hah! I had a feeling new Ren!fic was going to be posted while I was on vacay. ;)

Sumner! I miss him so much. *huggles Sumner*

I love Ren!Teyla, and it's really great to see the contrast between these moments of trying to learn the ropes of court life in her younger days, and the recent stories where we see the present-day Teyla moving so effortlessly through the court. The developments are fabulous.

Marcus! Hmm, I wonder if Lady Felicia is that one woman who hurt Marcus in the past... And that brat Matthew Glaston is her brother. You know, if it turns out that his history of bad behavior towards Elizabeth is because he got snubbed as a potential suitor, I'm going to be seriously annoyed at that little prick.
