I love that it works within canon and yet is outside it. I love that Rodney and Radek are both so much themselves, both in their determination and their fear. And I love how it has to end, the ultimate time-travelers paradox, dying so that another you might live.

*beams so much* Those are the things that originally appealed to me when I thought of the idea. That it should show the quiet heroism of Rodney and Radek, the way that they can do the utterly brave self-sacrifice thing when needed.

I also loved the idea of this being something that would be absolutely unknown. Not done for kudos or respect, but because they were the only ones who could.

Thanks so much for taking the time to come back here and comment. It really made my night.
