That was heartbreaking. And I think the most heartbreaking part is that, as hard as John struggled to keep faith throughout months of torture...they really never did come for him. He had to save himself, and that's just got me all teary.

Even though I know they were doing everything they could back at Atlantis, they still didn't find him.

Thank god Rodney was there for him when he got back.

Beautifully done fic. I loved the original and that author pointed me to this remix, and I am really glad of it.
