Why This Must Be Read: tielan is probably one of the best known John/Teyla writers and her stories involving the two are just lovely gems that take a peek in their relationship, whether it's an episode tag, mission stories, or AUs (or "crackfic" as she seems to have dubbed those).

One of the reasons that I enjoyed this story is that there is more to John Sheppard than we know and Teyla is usually the one who has seen that side of John, given that some of his more personal conversations or situations are with Teyla, like in "Phantoms," "Sateda," "Letters from Pegasus" and other episodes. And this story seems to play into that, as she gets a glimpse into his psyche on an overnight mission and learns a bit about his past and why he sometimes acts the way he does. It's a very nice read and one of my favorites written by tielan.
