Review:
The Téméraire series just like HDM and the sentinel world inspires writers from other fandoms to write crossovers. One of my absolute favorites is this one. The SGA characters are unmistakably themselves and they are beautifully embedded in this world of dragons.

I'm always beside myself with joy when I find a dragon story but this one was so perfectly done that I was grinning the whole time I was reading it. Both, the Téméraire facets and the SGA characters are perfectly blended into one entertaining and amusing story.
