Oh, mystery writer, thank you so much! This was awesome :D
Evan's happiness saturates every moment of this - I lovelovelove the time with his team(s) and the fond teasing from them and so many other Atlanteans... it's obviously no secret how smitten he and Ronon are, and the balance and love of their relationship shines through every word.
The caretaking ritual upon Ronon's return was gorgeous... intimate and such a clear indicator of how much they cherish each other and how - even with the Wraith eliminated - they never take each other for granted, knowing what a gift every day is.
So sweet and insightful of Evan to know Satedan traditions and to have anticipated this moment, and I love the gift of the fountain painting. Ronon has lost so much, and I love that Evan has a quiet understanding of that and uses the knowledge to make tender gestures like this one, and the kiss on the tracking device scar - comfort without fanfare, just quiet and steady support. Still waters run deep, and I think that's especially true for both these characters.
The sex was really hot - loved the teasing and exhibitionist qualities while Evan was trying to listen to Reynolds, and later, Ronon needing to give up control and Evan knowing just how to take him there... just perfect. You've captured one of the best aspects of an established relationship, and every moment proves how well they know one another's every secret and thus how to wring every ounce of pleasure from them.
Vivid and abiding love, incredible friendship and support, and a happiness that leaps from the page... I really could not have asked for more. Thank you so much!
