Why This Must Be Read: Written in 2005 (so well before The Return) for the prompt "separated for years, but something brings them together", this can be read as an AU, or as futurefic (it would have been that at the time it was written, predicting The Return), or set post canon. It's tagged as Gen, but to me it feels like a McShep story, pre-slash. They're all back on Earth and have been for five years, and every year John writes to his closest friends from the expedition, to get them back together for Christmas. Lorne he sees more regularly, as he lives close by. But every year they all get together again... except for Rodney. This year, however, is different. It's a little sad, until it isn't, and I love it.
