So I'm at work and shouldn't really be checking my f-list, let alone read SGA Santa stories (which I will totally do tonight!), but I wanted to share my initial reaction with you:
Word Count: About 65,000
Holy shit. And may I just add how utterly gleeful your author's notes made me? I can't wait until tonight! ♥
ETA: Oh, seriously, where to begin? I love the world you created here, with its own lore and traditions and inner workings, and all the different kinds of magic. I especially liked the roles you gave Teyla and Ronon (Teyla - so pregnant, so awesome!), slightly removed from canon but still the characters I love. I really enjoyed how you incorporated-but-twisted canon in general. And oh, Radek! Golem!Radek, with his tragic decline and nearly killing Five and Rodney and then you killed him and then you brought him back! ♥
And! Poor Rodney always freezing (I can relate)! Teyla singing all night to keep Rodney's soul tied to his body! John cooling Rodney down with his body! The Chair - such a devious device, such sacrifice - and how all turned out well in the end!
And if that wasn't enough, dude! You made John a nightflyer! Imagine me flailing! *beams at you*
Also! Little to no sex! *laughs*
Thank you. Thank you so much. I laughed, I sniffled, I wibbled, I smiled. Of all the stories I could have possibly asked for, I can't imagine any one so awesome as this. You pushed all my buttons and made this a perfect, amazing, gift. And I'm humbled that you would pour in so much effort for me. Thank you.
Also, I'm pretty sure I know who you are. Though I've know to be wrong about these things.
ETA2: Hah! I knew it was you! Ask kisahawklin - I gloated. :D
