Oh, wow. This is really cool. Daemons were always my favorite part of HDM; seeing them on SGA characters blew my mind. It makes everyone so visible.
And the practicalities of Daemon-bearing society are rather interesting to fit into an exploratory outfit. I loved the details of this; the various choices of animals, the Wrath soul-sucking, Rodney's experimental nature. And the last line, god - Sheppard's whole relationship with Nioke, and what she does to his place in the military.
Just, really really cool. And now I'm thinking of Jack with a coyote, and what it would do to his whole persona, to have had the irreverent, smart, not overtly aggressive side of him showing, all his life. And that adolescence is really only when a person begins to transform, not when they settle.
