fic: The Astonishing Persistence Of Memory - Past Time

Right, well, this is what I get for not configuring my 'tracking' properly (and not checking my f-list for a couple of days).

The sgabigbang challenge has gone live! (And the site is gorgeous.)

TITLE: The Astonishing Persistence Of Memory - Past Time
SUMMARY: The last they saw of him was as Kolya's prisoner, drained by the Wraith. When Atlantis finds John Sheppard living in a Pegasus village, with no memory of who he is, they endeavour to restore his memory. But a lot of things have changed in six months, including John himself. And there are some things he doesn't want to remember.
CATEGORY: drama, action-adventure, team
PAIRINGS: John/Teyla UST, John/other
RATING: PG-13
NOTES: For some reason, I can't find my Alpha- and Beta- thanks on the site, so, here we go:
THANK-YOUS: To wojelah and ladyjax for alphaing - really detailed alphaing, with encouragement and prodding and very very helpful comments which I loved getting because even if there was bad, it was detailed bad that I could do something about!

To saeva, who listened and chatted but didn't manage to finish up her Big Bang after all. (Maybe next year? *hopeful*)

To my betas, who barely blinked when I dumped a 60K story in their laps, but came back with comments that elaborated on OMG and WTF and ??? and !!!

To kristen999 whose fic 'Take These Wings And Learn To Fly' prompted me to go read up about possible situations for John's history, and who did the honour of beta'ing the section on John’s USAF history.

To the artists liviapenn, tli, and almostnever for their lovely artworks and video!

And to the people who cheered me on, offered encouragement, picked me up and dusted me off, and generally were awesome, amazing friends to me during this period - thank you all so very much!

I'm looking for people to review the story (a little more in-depth than feedback) - there's a note on the feedback post about it. If you're interested, please offer!

Finally, feedback is always loved.

two Big Bang recs

I went into the 'gen' section, fully prepared to read kristen999's fic, then spotted siriaeve's fic summary...and Teyla won out over John.

Both are very well worth the time to read! (Once you finish mine, of course! *g*)

The Language Of Hard Nouns by siriaeve
Teyla-centric gen, with incidental Teyla/Michael, and background Ronon/Elizabeth and Ronon/Keller.

Teyla raised shaking hands to her face and traced the lines of her cheekbones, along smooth skin that was suddenly cooler to the touch, running her fingertips over the two slits in her cheeks which had not been there before. A strange cry forced its way out of her throat, high and inhuman; and that, she thought, with a sudden, dizzying clarity, was appropriate. How could she be human now; what was she anymore?

Imago: The Tao of John by kristen999
John gen, with team, and Elizabeth and Carson.

Imago: a creature in its final stage of development. John receives a gift that might be used to destroy the Wraith. It might also kill him. Can his team convince him that the cost is too high?

I'm feeling rather faint. It might be time for dinner...
