Why This Must Be Read:
Rodney's desperate to save his team, and Keller's just trying to keep up, on a planet where hurricanes can last for days.

This fic can be read as friendshippy gen or as Rodney/Jennifer subtext, just as the reader likes.

Above all it's a descriptive and action-filled adventure story with a fantastic Keller POV that does the character justice. She gets a chance to shine in this one, with nature throwing obstacle after obstacle at them, and Sheppard's team lying injured (really well-written h/c, too). It's much fun to see Rodney and Jennifer play off each other.

This fic put me in a happy mood and left me with a yen for more Keller-centric fic. (36,000 words)
