Why This Must Be Read: It's a very lyrical and introspective look into how Evan Lorne thinks about the universe. Well, for that and the two moons. {g}



Evan had always been a traveller, even if his journeys before joining the Stargate programme had been measured in miles rather than light years. He'd criss-crossed America from a young age, an air force brat following the path of his father's career. Then he'd criss-crossed the globe, following his own path even if that path still followed his father's.

The first time he'd stepped through the 'Gate, he'd expected whole new worlds to open up before him, a slew of different things to see, to experience. The first planet - the first alien planet - whose soil his feet had touched had been achingly disappointing, like New England in the fall. He'd felt a greater sense of alienness - and alienation - in the outback of Australia, where rocks and scrub extended for miles and miles and - in some places - were red and gold rather than yellow and grey than he had in a forest that was too like the forests of home. The Ancients may have seeded a hundred, a thousand different worlds but they'd seeded them all the same and at times each planet seemed a mirror of the last. And all seemed a mirror of Earth.

Say what you liked about the Goa'uld but at least they'd had a sense of style, even if it had tended to the 'upmarket brothel' end of the spectrum.

This is a *lovely* fic, and I'm so glad you're reccing it. Lucky me, to have received this as my gift in the The Czech Is In The Male Zelenka Thingathon. It's a wonderful present, beautifully written, and everyone should read it.

*glees*

No one has that I'm aware of, but I'm glad you liked it. :-)
