Why This Must Be Read:

Right now his job is leading Teyla to safety through a world of oil paintings and Charlie Chaplin. Sheppard can't hear his heart pound, but he can sure as hell feel it slam against his ribcage. He knows he won't notice the exhale of an enemy or the rustle of the jungle floor. He grips his .45 even tighter.

Kristen's work is always full of beautiful imagery and description, and this story is no exception. The Pegasus galaxy's version of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" is enacted upon the team, and disaster strikes in the middle of the ceremony to remove it. John and Teyla must rely on each other to get back to the camp - and do so with exquisite detail to their sense and what they've lost. The tension is perfect, the interaction and trust beautiful, and while I'd have loved to see an NC-17 scene...the trust and friendship and attraction is enough.
