took me like. ten minutes to get through that last chapter. hard to read through your tears, y'know

this was so poignant and good and I really needed a good cry so thank you for this gift

Pretty amazing story. One of the best I've read from Stargate Atlantis. Thank you very much.

i love this story it made me laugh out loud and then cry had some really great lines in there too. I wish i found this story the first time i saw Sunday.

That was so good, and sad but really good. All the phasing in and out with different people from different realities was cool. Loved it all the way.

This story was amazing, the premise, conclusion. It was a great view on McKay's guilt and incredibly poignant, especially at the end. The dream sequence was great. Thanks!

WOW...what an amazing story. I was browsing around trying to find good fanfic I had not already read a zillion times. I have enjoyed a lot of your stories and so started reading/rereading all your stories. Not sure how I missed this first time around but it was a real jewel. You have captured Rodney's voice perfectly. Not too many stories explore the Rodney/Carson friendship this deeply. I think that Rodney would have felt this deeply about losing Carson and I know from expeience just how much it rts to lose someone you love and how you wuld do anything to get them was heart wrenching to read the last chapter...how hard it must have been letting go! Thanks so much for such an extra special holiday present. And thanks for all the wonderful fanfic you have written...your talent is amazing. Honestly their is a group of you all that would have put the book/tv guys to shame! I still miss the show and entire cast ...what a special group...thanks for keeping them alive for all us die hards! Have a wonderful and happy 2014!

Fabulous story. Just thought I'd say it. :)

What an opening chapter!

I started reading this story because I've recently become fascinated with Dr. Carson Beckett. And this first chapter is enough to have me wondering what on. . . well, not-Earth is going on! :D

An excellent story. I personally find McKay difficult to write, so I enjoyed this look into what he might have struggled with when faced with losing Carson. Great work!

Very awesome story!

Great job with this wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent!

I absolutely love the ending...and all the chaos in the middle was brilliantly done.

The way it started was perfect, and everyone's reactions were right on. Excellent story...83

I loved this whole story but the last scene was sheer perfection!

Thanks for a wonderful ending. I hadn't thought about the device being like the Ancient shield, but it makes sense that it would be. Rodney scarcely *believes* in things that work based on desires, so I can well believe it wouldn't consciously occur to him that he could just will it to reset.

I loved the characterizations. Rodney and Carson were always my favorites, and I'm very glad to see them together again. The AU Carson sounds very much like our Carson (and must be used to dealing with a Rodney very like our Rodney). But *all* the characters are well-drawn, even those we see only briefly, like Sam.

By the last few chapters I couldn't stop to post a review if I wanted; I just had to keep reading. Excellent pacing, wonderful plot—I'm surprised you could post it in pars. I'd have had to go through and revise many times to get anywhere near the coherence you have.

Thanks for a wonderful story. I'm really glad Rodney can look in on Carson, at least.

*“You almost blew yourself up.”

“Yes, well, it happens sometimes.”*

So very true to the characters!

Rodney's dream about dragging people back from alternate universes is heartbreaking.
