Excellent story! Very well written, and quite interesting! Your characterizations are just about dead on! You've done a great job with that, so keep up the good work! I hope that you will update soon!

I'd just like to point out one thing, though: Teyla's people were not responsible for her having some Wraith DNA. (Even if they had wanted to have a way to detect the Wraith, they were not scientifically advanced enough to manipulate DNA.) A Wraith scientist was responsible. He was attempting to make the feeding process more efficient by making the people more compatible with his own species. However, he gave up when he found that, because of the Wraith DNA, the Athosians were able to hear Wraith thoughts. There's more to the story, of course, and it can be found in Season 1's The Gift.
I mean no offense by pointing this out, so please do not be offended! I just wanted to mention the way that it really happened. It was the only thing about your story that I found a bit off. I really do think that this story is excellent, and I am enjoying it very much! :D

Author's Response: Thank you and no offense taken. I totally missed that in The Gift but it makes a lot of sense. Glad you are enjoying the story. :)

First reaction, oh no! Next reaction, ouch (both John and Liz). Overall reaction, love the chemistry you've rebuilt between them. I enjoyed the insight to Kolya in "Stand" and how you kept him semi-sinister and semi-dignified, personally how I think he should be.

Your endings both were excellently written, and I'm glad to see Sam and Lorne get to join in the story. Very nice Genii trip. Can't wait for the next chapters. Keep up the good work.

Author's Response: Thank you. I like the 'oh no' reaction. :) It's been more fun than should be allowed but I've enjoyed seeing their relationship rekindle. Kolya was so fun to write. I'm glad you liked the genii arc. I hope to update very soon.
