Disclaimer: Not mine. Never mine. ::poke poke::
Author's Notes: All hail L, queen of betas, long may she reign. This longassed thing is the result of National Novel Writing Month, unemployment, and my recip's request for plot. CA, this is probably more plot that you actually wanted, but I hope it meets your expectations. The title is from First Corinthians 13, a chapter better known for its ruminations on faith, hope and love.
Summary: When SG-4 is ambushed offworld, an injured Major John Sheppard must put his trust in a Tok'ra agent named McKay to survive. But what secrets is McKay keeping about his mission, the planet, and his own motives for helping John?

Excellent adventure.

I'm not too coherent, as I can barely keep my eyes open, but I enjoyed this very much.

I liked Rodney as a Tok'ra. I agree that he's someone who could adapt to the situation. Although, I bet his early days of 'blending' were probably interesting, to say the least.

John's dreams were a good way of getting him used to what was happening without him having to relinquish any control.

And, I'm glad you explored some ideas about Tok'ra relationships and society. There have to be a lot of possible stories there.

Thank you! Yeah, Rodney isn't exactly your first choice for a Tok'ra host, but all in all it works out surprisingly well.
