Why this must be read:

This is another story that explores Teyla pre-series. In this fic missyvortexdv gives us wonderful Teyla backstory. This fic follows Teyla as she grows up and it gives us so much insight into her character. Teyla's voice rings true in the entire peice and it is so easy to see the events that take place and shape Teyla into the person she is today. This fic also gives a little insight into the Athosians and their culture. Also, seriously, this fic explains so much. Its a must read for Teyla lovers.

Excerpt

She had learned everything she possibly could about being an Athosian, apart from what it was like to live as one. She could explain the festivities in great detail, identifying them from just the music specific to each one, but they’d still seemed like they were a world away from her life. All she had then was her hours of training and the long evenings by the fire with Onu, full of reflection.
