Very sweet! I love the varied viewpoints and how they all fall into and out of love, because that does happen.

I also love the reference to SG-1, because it's not like SG-1 doesn't have its share of inter-team orgies.

Actually, part of what inspired this was the episode in...season 7 of SG-1? When the new president comes in and Woolsey gives his report on the evils currently taking place in SGC? I mean, if fans can reach the conclusion that the only reason McKay and Sheppard haven't killed each other yet is because they're sleeping together, then obviously Woolsey could think the same.

Hee, inter-team orgies. Best term ever.

It totally is.

*Nods* You're so right about "If the fans can put 2 & 2 together, and they like McKay, how is Woolsey going to justify the man's continued existance?"

Very cool.

Thank you! The format came because I thought of the "fell in love/out of love" parts first. Then I had a moment of panic when I realized I needed a plot to go with them...

I have the biggest crush on Teyla right now. The times the writers use her are so great; on the surface she's so serene and mature, but there are always glimpses of her amusement and frustration and genuine affection. RL does a great job at building those levels.

(Sometimes I worry that I channel myself too much when writing Rodney--only he talks much, much faster.)

And thank you again, it means a lot that you enjoyed it.

Please do. I wrote this so very last minute, and with this type of format it really needed a beta. I'm hoping to go through and do major editing at some point in the future, but I really wanted to get it posted before it was too late.

Nice! The structure works very well, and I the character voices were spot on. Also: aww.

Thank you! I'm glad the voices came across differently.

I'm also glad the structure worked for you!

I love Teyla in this. The moment she presses her leg against the table to feel the knife was a great image far all the ways she's a negotiator but still a warrior who really, really wants to kick Woolsey's ass. I liked that the moment she decided she didn't know John was during the episode Home, because that episode is definitely the one I think of first when I think of John being a scary bastard whose words and expressions don't necessarily have anything to with what he's thinking.

I laughed at Rodney's description of falling out of love with Teyla, and at John's "And he's McKay." Rodney's response to Woolsey accusing John of lacking objectivity (i.e. "Well duh!") was perfect. As was the way John kept not getting what Woolsey was trying to insinuate--it was very "I never see this coming ( ... )

Thank you so much!

I'm really pleased by Teyla's section. It was fun getting into her head a bit; ever get the feeling that she can get so frustrated with everyone else?

That scene from Home is one of the definitive moments for John's character. JF's face, right after he pulls the trigger! Just so...dead. ::shivers:: "Why hello wish-fulfillment incarnation! Everything I ever wanted! Die ( ... )
