this is amazing. and yes, as others have said, almost better than the steve pov, b/c we get the hunger without steve having to tell us...i really liked the pov b/c it sounded like sheppard but then not until i realized it was someone else...very nicely done!!!

you're really nailing those wraith encounters, aren't you??? :-) loved the reference to the shadows and why our narrator thinks they might have stopped. the sexual hunger and shepard all but teasing him...i mean, i almost envision this unnamed military guy watching sheppard tease others, showing us all of him, the way he engages people around him and uses his sex appeal :-)

great story!!! thank you!!!
