Author's Notes: I was lucky enough to get [livejournal.com profile] tarlanx! I've enjoyed her stories starring the myriad of actor David Hewlett's characters for years and was really happy to have the chance to give her something back this time. She wanted a McKay-centric story with angst, hurt/comfort, drama, action/adventure and humor, but mostly a plot. :) She also really wanted a story using one of the alternate universes from the TV series.

All I can say is that I tried very, very hard to give you the kind of story I thought you'd like, Tarlanx. (This fic is try number four, as a matter of fact.) I really hope you enjoy this!

Happy holidays! And thank you again for all your wonderful stories.

I also want to thank my Betas of Awesome: [livejournal.com profile] squeakyoflight and [livejournal.com profile] anna_bird. You both are hugely appreciated, as always. Any inadvertent goofs or suckage was put in after they went over the story, and are entirely my fault.

Summary: "Oh my God. We've landed on fucking Pern."

Finished the story and wow! What a great ending!

I loved your alternate take on Mitchell. I would love to see more of that messed-up yet strangely charming character. He has a dragon-wish in this story. Perhaps it should be fulfilled?

Sobal's reaction to everything made so much sense, and Jeanie and Evan's blossoming relationship is so cute! Jeanine and Rodney's conversation in the infirmary made me cry, btw. "You fill all the spaces she left behind" is now officially one of my favourite lines. :)

Fantastic, interesting and incredibly creative story! Well done!
