Great story! I loved the atmosphere at the beginning. It was relaxing and peaceful but felt as though it might be concealing something more, and that certainly turned out to be the case. I liked that you portrayed the Ga'gaan as neither stupid nor evil, but simply human and focused on their own priorities - and also with good reason not to love people from Atlantis.

Most of all I loved the vibe between the boys in this: such closeness and quiet caring manifesting in so many small but hugely important ways. John actually *offering* to talk said it all. Thanks for this.
