Um, yes. That. Was. Very Hot.

::douses self::

Thank you.

Also? Layered and lovely. I adore your stories not for the porn but the emotional and narrative power.

Seriously. & :-)

Wow. That was hot and really cool.

So on average--lukewarm? *g* Seriously--thanks!

Hee--thank you so much! It's not me though: John's just a Sexy Beast, even as a virgin. *g*

Hee--thank you for this comment! I'm sorry to be so late in replying, but I don't appreciate it any the less!

Thank you so much for this comment; I'm so glad you enjoyed it! (And John deserves a happy moment or maybe even two.)

Thank you so much. That means a lot, coming from you, esp., since your prose is so consistently beautiful!

I know it's much more natural to be a Johny-girl, but little snippets like this make me *heart* Mister NoSocialSkills Rodney.

Uh, what fandom are YOU in *g*--I think a lot of people are with you! I admit, it took longer for me to warm up to Rodney than to John, but boy oh boy, I think most of the fandom started the other way, and seriously, how can you NOT heart Rodney! He's SO lovely, really; I mean, I was talking to somebody and we decided that John is written warmly, but Flanigan kind of chills him down a little (on purpose, I think); and Rodney is written meanly, but Hewlett just warms him up wildly, doesn't he??

you showed John viewing his life through less worldly eyes. In some ways the loss of a persons virginity is the perfect symbol of the headlong slide into the cynicism of adulthood.

Yes, totally--and that's really why John was, for me, the obvious non-virgin: not so much even because of his sexuality, just that he has moments of seeming so deeply jaded.

What fandom have I been in? Well, I'm a newbie to the fandom and have only been in it for the fanfic as I've seen nary an epidosde yet. Guess the people I've read so far seem to be very upfront about being partial to the cowlicked-wonder, but maybe I've just hit an unusual streak of Johnphiles. Not that the stories haven't been pretty darn tasty so far--and both boys are pretty darn hot in their own way and as a pair, it's just a bias I seemed to have stumbled on.

Eh, hey, I'm all for the wider viewing audience sharing my particular taste as that means more fics will skew towards my kinks, you know? When a person gets fixated on a particular character or pairing that's not the majority vote (like Teal'c/Daniel or OriginalRay/anyone--Ray/Ray is always a lovely thing!), it makes hunting through the crap to find the nugget of gold all that much more harder, though possibly more rewarding. (I'm lazy though)

Oh, and I want to let you know that though I've only recently come to SGA, I've been a fan of your works for a while now and plan on writing my sadly delayed appreciation of individual works ASAP. You are not a nugget or a vein of flashy fool's gold, you're one of the biggest motherloads of pure precious metal in any of my various fandoms!!

I've, uh, only recently matured enough in my insatiable fanfic gluttony to actually start providing feedback for those authors that really touched me with their stories. You've hit that button so many times that I'm really ashamed that I hadn't gotten around to platonically worshiping at the altar of your talent in a public manner. I am ashamed.

Of course, I did mention that I'm horribly lazy, right? Will strive to overcome to give you the more-than-deserved feedback and strokes.

Well, I'm a newbie to the fandom and have only been in it for the fanfic as I've seen nary an epidosde yet Ohhh. Man. So much pretty ahead of you!!! *g* (It's a very pretty cast; have you seen the photos??)

maybe I've just hit an unusual streak of Johnphiles.
Hm--I do think it's like other classic slash fandoms, where often there's a strong attraction for one and then the other grows on you. My own perception was that, in a weird way, Rodney was the main BSO, because--you know, he's basically fannish: sort of snappy and asocial and smart but basically really warm as a person. So a lot of people identified strongly with him, I think. OTOH, that strong Rodney identification has resulted in a lot of Shep-worship, so I see where that could sound really really loud to someone getting in (and Flanigan is just so stupidly pretty.)

Oh, and I want to let you know that though I've only recently come to SGA, I've been a fan of your works for a while now and plan on writing my sadly delayed appreciation of individual works ASAP.

Hee--well, thanks; that's very kind of you--I appreciate it! I'm tempted to change my LJ title to "Big motherload" now *g*--hee, say what you want of me, but I'm no flash in the pan, anyway. *g* But don't stress out about it; I'm totally of the "fandom is fun and free" school of thought, and while I totally appreciate comments (I'm not proud; who doesn't like to be complimented?) I don't like people to feel bad or lazy or guilty--lazy is GOOD. Be LAZY. Real FIC. *

Cheers & thanks!

Hot, hot, hot! You write such amazing porn (with plot included!).

This is such a great premise, and you did a great job with John's voice after his little swim, how he still sounded like himself but just different enough.

Also this line:

Rodney hissed softly, and, God, yes, the years had passed while Rodney had been working; the stream of time had dragged Rodney down and battered him against its own sort of rocks, and now it had brought him to John, gasping for breath and brand new.

is pure perfection, and made me all emo. I love the parallel.

Whew *fans self* Oh my *waits expectantly for husband to get home* I really liked that one

"More like ten," John said, thinking it over. "Before you deflowered me," and Rodney's mouth shut with an audible snap. "In the sacred forest of Athar, yet," John added in a tone of mock-piety.

my favorite line!!

I'm so glad you liked; and yeah, for a new virgin, John really knows how to bring the snark. *g*

I have to apologize for not commenting the first time round! Someone asked about it on sgastoryfinders so I happily read it again. Made even better with Lim's "Mission Report" playing on repeat in the background;)

I really admire the way you wrote John feeling new. I don't have the words to describe why I love it so much, but I totally do. Especially with the Rodney parallel, which is probably my favorite part.

Rodney hissed softly, and, God, yes, the years had passed while Rodney had been working; the stream of time had dragged Rodney down and battered him against its own sort of rocks, and now it had brought him to John, gasping for breath and brand new.

I also like the idea of Teyla being someone like Artemis's (or another goddess's) virgins. It just fits with the way she sometimes seems to stand apart and above everyone else, untouched and serene. And I adore the image of Ronon chilling by the fire with an amused grin on his face.

Wonderful fic!

Wow. I'm falling asleep here, so everything is kind of psychedelic (why I can't ever go to sleep in time?), but that was some impressive writing... catching and hot and perfect... I wonder what the natives will do in the morning though, drive them away or put them through the rabids again ;)

Thanks a lot!--and personally, I hope they get away with it! I'm not sure Rodney would do so well. *g*

Thanks! It's a weird story, but it worked in my head--in fact, probably the only problem with it is that the first part kind of outweighs the second part: the pairing is really John/Water. *g* But Rodney's got an important part to play, too, even if it's less visually thrilling (I can hear Rodney complaining now, "Great, even John's virginity is more exciting than mine!")

This was absolutely fantastic . . . like all your fics. Rodney's reaction when John first told him he loved him was so completely typical of him it was perfect. I loved this!

Certainly one of the more painful rituals John's been through! I liked his thoughts and feelings afterwards, how he was almost drunk on the newness of everything. I felt bad for Rodney's uncomfortableness whilst discussing his virgin state, so I was glad that he quickly got over that when John followed him back to the tent. Very hot, even more so because of the real feelings involved.

Laura.

"Meanwhile, you were a virgin for, like, three hours," Rodney said.

Hee! This was delightful. It's a happy ray of sunshine of a story, sweet and warming and *good*.

Thank you so much!--{{loves on the boys!!}} {{and Teyla!}}
