Rating: PG-13
Warnings: SG-1 themed AU; original characters; whump
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?

great story! I had to get a little teary eyed and sniff over the utter aloneness that John felt, and smile at the same time, because Kharoush. The dream/conversations were fabulous, John was finally getting some seriously needed head shrinking from someone that he couldn't fool or shake off. The action and plot was wonderful in and of itself, and not just a clothes hanger from the McShep + 2. thank you for a much needed shot in the arm, I really needed this.

You're welcome! It's so convenient to have a symbiote around when you need to get someone as screwed-up as John to exposit. :-)
