I love how you depicted the depths of Liz's love for John and how that was fostered through the hardship on the first couple of years on Atlantis. I also love how Meredith has changed through circumstances and his relationship with his sister is depicted through her conversation with him. Well done. I wonder where this story will take us. Will they ever revert slightly back to their "old" selves? Next chapter, please!

Author's Response: Thank you. As for them reverting back, you'll see. Their core is still the same, but their experiences are different from canon. Five years are a long time. Some things change and some things stay the same. I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible, but it'll take some time.
