This is an amazing insight piece. You had me captivated all the way through. Thanks for writing!

Love, Ally

You captured Teyla's voice well, and also Sheppard's character. Very gentle and subtle piece. Thank you!

Perfectly, perfectly depicts both of their relationships! Wonderful job :)

Ok, first off, let me tell you how grateful I am that you allow anon. reviews. As a reader, but not subscriber to fanfiction for several years, I can say that from the bottom of my heart I can thank you for allowing them.

I just loved your short story of sparkiness! It truely made my day. I wish I could make all of the John/Teyla people out there read this and realize that their relatinship is /close/ yes but not in the way they think. John is meant for someone else, someone special, someone who is his other (more serious) half. I absolutely loved the line(s):

Elizabeth. Each syllable enunciated, pronounced, wrapped in careful warmth, bringing a light to his eyes. It is a prayer, a benediction, an acknowledgement of something greater than himself. The very word is a wonder to him; its owner is much more.

It is just so TRUE! And it written from Teyla's POV. It's like getting the smoker to tell people not to start. The other great thing is that you know that Teyla agrees and that there are no hard feelings. What am I saying, she doesn't just agree; she understands.

Hope most of my ramblings made sense. Thanks for taking the time to write and post this.

Lovely story. Gosh, I do love how John says Elizabeth's name, simply breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.

*starts tearing up, but with happiness* Oh, that was so good! I love hearing Teyla's point of view here. What she says about John and his personality was very perceptive. And I love that last paragraph and sentence. That's what made me melt into a puddle of blissfully happy goo.

I love this, just as I seem to love all of your stories. You are an excellent writer. Cheers. :)

Beautiful. A wonderfully well-written story and a terrific read. I love that you wrote it from Teyla's pov (excellent job with her characterization, btw) and her observations were really spot-on.

This is beautifully written and so true about not only the relationships between the people of Atlantis, but the human race. I felt my heart pang slightly at the mention of the difference between the women's names. Thank you for writing such a memorable contemplation, one from Teyla's point of view. :)

Liked this enormously! The unusual point-of-view from Teyla and her observations of the people from the Milky Way Galaxy...so true! The little things he does, the silent conversations just point out the relationship between John and Elizabeth that could only be seen by one so observant. Lovely!

That was truly beautiful. Thank you.

This was a really nice explanation of the relationships between these three characters. Oh if only we could have them back in front of us to watch but without our visual images on TV, you manage to give us mental images in their place. Thank-you.

Thanks so much for the story. I really think you captured Teyla's calmness and character. She would see the tiny things around her that others have missed. Loved it!

Fabulous! No other writer has ever put it better. Kudos to you. Ali D :~)
