I can't believe I haven't read this one either, as I'm a big fan of your stories. Poor John. I can't believe that he thought everyone had forgotten his birthday. It was great that everyone decided to wear loud shirts, so that John wasn't embarrassed like he was in the orange shirt.

Out here blessing me with that good team as family shit, yes yes yes! Great sequel!

AWESOME! EXCELLENT! I love any time Sheppard gets the credit for all he's done. I can really picture everyone in Hawaiian shirts. I was totally thrown by Keller and McKay's argument. And I'm usually pretty good at guessing where things are going. I really loved this and I'm hoping it won't be too long before I'm reading another fic by you. I want you to know, even if there aren't any more fics, I am a total fan and will revisit your stories again and again! God bless you bunches, Sweetie! Laurie

If you're so inclined, would you consider writing yet another sequel revealing how John shows his appreciation for his brother's help with the birthday party?

Loved it! Great story about my fave team!

Fantastic piece, as alwaysthanks for sharing

Very cute! Loud Hawaiian shirts are meant to be fun!

It's always a good day when there is a new Titan 5 story to read. I really enjoyed "Real heroes wear orange" and laughed out loud when John was presented with his orange shirt. It was just natural progression that Rodney would find out and take it further. I can picture all of them in the shirts except Ronan. Somehow my mind refuses to go there! This is a sweet story and does make me wonder what would happen years on when members of Atlantis get older and things change. Thankfully, in the world of FF time can be as flexible as we want it to be and our favorites characters can stay forever young. Thanks again for entertaining me.

Yeah! Real Hero's Wear Orange is one of my favorite SGA stories, and that's saying something I have been a fan since 2004. This sequel is definitely worthy of the original! It's so exciting to have a new story from you! Looking forward to your next story!

Cute story. Hope to see more writing from you soon.

Real heroes wear orange is one of my all time favorite stargate atlantis fanfiction stories. I'm so happy to see that you made a sequel. I hope you make another one. This one was just as good as the first.

This was a charmer. You have a real talent for dialogue, and for painting pictures with words. The image of Ronon in a Hawaiian shirt was priceless. I can never get enough of Sheppard and team, even after all these years. It is wonderful that you are still writing. (Hint...)

I love this follow up story. Keep the great stories comming!

Loved it, loved it, loved it! So good to see a new story from you..and I love the sequel! I remember that story, and I remember trying to imagine John in that shirt! Lol! Now, I'll have to imagine him and the whole gang going tropical! Keep the SGA stories coming!

So wonderful to see a story from you. You know the characters so well and your story lines are always a pleasure and treat to read. Love the team banter. Great to read the further development of John's family on earth. It would be great to read more about them if they came to visit John in Atlantis to see what he and the team do.
Love the plot about the betting in Atlantis and the team love. Had quite the giggle with Rodney's note on the back of the present, "Yes, stupid, open it now."
I really like stories that emphasize the respect that the people in Atlantis have for John. Thanks for keeping SGA alive! Please keep the stories coming!
