This is a really good story. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Making the Cota (Children of the Asuran's) the bad guy through me for a loop. I was like; "Replicator's? How'd they survive the attack?" And then they're suddenly a back-up or fail-safe program that was accidentally activated by a routine recon of a new planet. Wow! Just wow!

I just re-read this story again - I've been doing so about three or four times a year since I first found it - and it is Just. So. Awesome.
Probably right up there in the top three or five NCIS crossovers I've ever read. Probably right up there in the top three or five Stargate crossovers I've ever read. Yes, the repetition was intended. It's that good. (I don't want to definitely throw out a "best" because there's some good competition out there too, including some of my own work if I might say so.)

I have no idea how I missed this before. The characterizations are beautifully done; on "NCIS", you don't see much of the "inner Ziva". I think you've done a wonderful job here, and brought a depth of feeling and a broader dimension to not only Ziva, but also Tony, Abby, and the rest from NCIS, as well as the SGA personnel. Teyla's confusion and resentment about being treated like a Terran woman; Ronon's glee and delight in battle; Sheppard's moods and McKay's sharp tongue (and hurray for Abby, giving as good as she gets!). And then the Replicators. Oy vey, the Replicators. Paula, and Jenny, and Kate, and Ari, and Agent Pacci....my guts twisted when the names started showing up. That, to me, is the mark of a good storyteller: evocation of emotion with just a few key words.
Well done, once again.

My knowledge of Ziva is limited, but the concept of her transfer to Atlantis makes sense, and even if I’m a bit confused about WHY something went wrong between her and Tony during their ‘reunion’, the Replicator attack on NCIS was generally good (Particularly Ducky’s line about giving them the wrong information).

Review of chapter "Chapter Eight" from RocksandGlass
Review:
This is really really really good. It was really good just the first few chapters, Ziva on Atlantis, adjusting to the change and moving on, and then you chucked in the earth scenes, and then the adventure/crime/mystery bit and just brought the story to a whole new level. really loved this one.

rereading, because this story is awesome, and i caught something there at the end that i didn't pay attention to... Ziva is "mom". I don't know why, but I do think she slips into the mom role that the show doesn't really have. Teyla is great as "mother", being all wise and soft, but the crew needed someone more pragmatic- more like them. Ziva wouldn't have been able to handle that role without her experiences at NCIS, but she could now. Great job!

This story was great, I must say in rhyme about it on rhyming day; The plot was intriguing and flowed so well, You sent those Replicators straight to hell.

You did a great job with this story and I hope you will be inspired to write a sequel.
