YAY!!!!! I am so happy that you like it, omg. \o/ \o/ \o/
When I saw I'd been matched with you I became instantly gleeful, because you've written so many things that make me happy and I figured this was a fine chance for me to repay some of that joy. And then you said you liked language and worldbuilding and I became delirious with this story idea.
I really wish I could visit this planet, too; it came to feel so real to me while I was writing it! I borrowed bits and pieces from various real places and things, and then whirred them together in a blender and this is what happened. In my mind, John and Rodney go back there whenever they can manage the vacation time, and maybe they take Ronon and Teyla with them sometimes, and even thirty years from now when John is deliciously silver-haired and Rodney bitches all the time about getting old they're still going and luxuriating in the bathhouse and getting propositioned by random strangers because they are just that beautiful.
(Um. Anyway. THANK YOU SO MUCH for inspiring me to write this -- I love it so much and I would never have had these ideas if I hadn't been matched with you!)
