Oh, what a wonderful ending to a fantastic story. Sigh... hehe! I love TDO and I think I've read every story tag to the episode! This is terrific and I love that you take a two pronged approach to this story, juxtaposing two situations where Sheppard is injured and show how much McKay has learned as we read the more recent event - McKay HAS come such a long way since TDO, and I love where he's at now.

You took a very good approach here, and, well, two situations with whumped Shep? Be still my heart! Lol!

I liked the medical stuff here, that was very well done, and naturally McKay is his usual snarky yet caring self. This was wonderfully executed and I feel I got two stories for the price of one here. So, yep, happy bunny here! Thanks for sharing! :)
