Okay, now you've got me blubbering and I know he's not dead yet. Good writing.

Author's Response: thank you. i really hope you'll like the next part. :)

I love the emotion, and poor Rodney is now hallucinating! BTW- what happened to day 4, if this was day 5?

Author's Response: thank you very much for your review! to answer your question, i'll make the gaps between the chapters larger with each post. writing every single day would make this an epic i'm just not prepared to write. it's going to have 16 parts as it is. the next one will be day eight.

Excellent chapter! Wow, Rodney's childhood :( Poor kid! Awesome job on that! Very dramatic and sad :( and the way you described his worsening physical condition and his hallucinations, brilliant! Him being tortured in Russia, stroke of genius *bg* And John and Radek's conversation was very in-character and sweet and I just can't say enough about this chapter :D More please! Oh and about the dart, it didn't bother me, I assumed it was a different model ;)

Author's Response: thank you very much, keep flattering me. ;p and thanks for being so, um, understanding.

You can use all the artistic liscence you want as long as you keep writing so beautifully :) What a great chapter!

Author's Response: thank you very much! but i try to stay close to, um, "reality". emphasis on try. *g*

Oh, you made me cry. That is so sweet, everyone leaving presents for Rodney. I especially liked the little carved laptop and Radek's small generator. I hope they find Rodney soon and don't worry, we all know that the show hides things like these new and improved darts until they need them. And poor Rodney. I hope he didn't actually have to live with that horrible grandmother, but knowing his lousy luck, I'm sure he did.

Author's Response: and again, thank you. :)

Author's Response: yeah, he did. that might actually explain a few things, i guess. and i thought it might be a nice touch if people tried to say goodbye somehow, because rodney did leave quite an impact.

Guh. This remains moving and suspenseful and wonderful. And did I mention suspenseful? We are good, mistress, give us the next chapter, mistress!

Author's Response: kneel, and i will think about it. ;p

Loving this - but you are so cruel to leave it there! Very engrossing.

Author's Response: what can i say? i'm not a nice person. thank you very much for your review!

Wow, what a great story! I love John's epiphany on the rock. His despair is tangible. And Rodney's determination to get to the Gate...I hope Rodney gets home soon, 'cause the tension is killing me!

Author's Response: um, since this is going to be a little longer, please tell your folks not to sue me in case of spontaneous combustions or anything. ;)

Check this out, she said. Yeah right, I tought. And then I got to read THIS! It's so fucking incredible! You a pro, or what? Your sis's a ditz for not telling me earlier. I spent the whole night reading your stories, and I luv em all. Man, she's so proud of you and damn her for she has every freakin' right to be. Go on! Get going! Keep writing! Plz!!! XDDD

Author's Response: um, no, not a pro, although (like most writers, i guess) i hope i will be. thank you for letting bröt-chan kick you here and leaving a review. :)

Poor John, what a depressing time for what should have been a wonderful revelation :( Poor Rodney! :O Hopefully he remembers the address of the Alpha site before a pack of wolves or something shows up LOL :D Love it, more please!

Author's Response: *lol* damn, i haven't thought of wolves! and i'm already working on pt. 7, too bad. maybe in chapter 8. ;)

OH this is tearing me up please hurry and write more because my heart can't take this poor rodney I hope john finds him soon How's that for incomprehensible pre-teen-babble? LOL!! Seriously, looking forward to more of this, like, instantly? Please. *kitten eyes* (and whump him, whump him good. And make John feel it.) (did I just say that?)

Author's Response: i hereby state that i fully intend to whump them both good and proper. *nods sincerely* because i'm evil, and i like it. ;)

Really enjoying this! Can't wait for the next installment.

Author's Response: thank you!

This story was filled with so much emotion. The weariness of McKay and his trek to the gate. The feeling of home and then the broken DHD. John's journey to self-awareness and his realization about his friend. Great writing. I can't wait to see what happens.

Author's Response: doing my best to make my stories worth the time it takes to read them. glad you liked it. :)

Jesus this was fantastic. Now, all Rodney needs to do is continue to be a stubborn ass and continue fialing on a regular basis... getting the attention of the 'Gate room staff, and hopefully Elizabeth will order a strike team to go and investigate. They'll be able to see the address that's dialing them, right? Right? I am so looking forward to the next chapter. ----}-@ Krys

Author's Response: um. no? not right? i mean, sure, i guess they'll see it, but it's not the solution, sorry. see info dump that will be posted with my next chapter. ahem. thank you very much for always reviewing, it's very kind. :)

O)h! THe heartbreak! the emotions, the pain, the longing and loss...this is great! Come on ROdney, you're a genius (one who is injured, sick and not thinking completly straight but a genius none the less) figure out a way home! Now! Because I want to see all the suffering and comming to terms and reactions that everyone is going to go through (but, of course, especially ROdney and Shepard) when he gets back! this is great!

Author's Response: oh well. if you want to see suffering, just read on. ;)

Both sections of the chapter are superbly written. No worries there!

Author's Response: that's a relief, thank you! i'm always very insecure if things work like i intended them to. so again, thanks!

Crystalheaven is going in the same direction I am, but she's ahead of me. I was just thinking "dial any planet they trade with", who can get a message to Atlantis sooner or later. This is one of the very, very few ways I can imagine John crying. Good job!

Author's Response: again, to be taken up with day eight. :) thank you for reviewing!

*snuggles boys* Poor John, finaly getting hit by the clue buss and it's to late. And Rodney, two words. Alpha Site. They have got to have people stationed there, and there's no Iris (at least, I don't think Alpha sites have ever had Irises). Please love, I'd like some more.

Author's Response: alpha site, huh? afraid not. i'll pick up on that one with day 8. thank you very much for your kind review! things like this keep me going. :)

Excellent as always. Poor Rodney, so close and yet, doomed :(. Is there really no way for him to fix his GDO? I guess he needs to combat his fever before he can think about searching for any useful tools. Or maybe Radek will get the redial working somehow? ::crosses fingers::. Poor John too, what a terrible time to realise his true feelings. I guess he didn't notice because they grew gradually as he spent most days with Rodney. I don't know whether to be more or less worried that he's consciously decided to sleep in Rodney's room. How long can he do this sort of thing before Elizabeth, Carson or Teyla pick up on it and get worried? Looking forward to what happens next. Laura.

Author's Response: well, everything that keeps john happy (and sane), i guess. *shrugs* and nope, gdo is gone for good. but rodney's a clever one. ;)
