Hee! You do these AU pieces SO well. The characters are so dead-on that the setting does not really matter.
Having said that, the setting here is also really good. Everyone fits so perfectly. Ronon and Teyla are wonderful, of course the two of them would be rescuers as a profession. Their voices were particularly good. You write a great Teyla.
And John and Rodney. Well, what can you say? So annoyingly perfect. I particularly liked the whole burst of explanations while John just wanted a bottle.
Anyway, great job and nice open ending.
Maia.
