Why This Must Be Read: I think that the five things meme is one of the finest things to ever happen to fandom. I love the way writers can use this form to riff on theme, or character, or plot and it's a wonderful tool for exploring what might be. The vignettes that make up this fic run the gamut of emotions--from unbearably sad to funny to erotic. Only one of them, the fourth, has a femslash pairing but I think it's important to read Laura and Jennifer's vignette in the context of the others. Above all else, this is a fic about belonging, about what it means to be a part of the Atlantis community and that context makes Laura and Jennifer's relationship all the richer. I particularly like Laura's characterization in this piece; she is funny and brash and brave and very much like the woman I created for my own personal fanon the first time I saw her on the screen.
Excerpt:
When the SGC transfers Laura back to Atlantis, they'll give "rotation of strategic personnel" as their justification, but after reading the mission overviews for the intervening three years, she'll suspect that the expedition has dropped below minimum acceptable levels on whatever metric the IOA uses for girl power. (Gender balance among ranking officers and department heads, fine, whatever.) Her actual posting will time things so that she'll just miss crossing paths with Carson 2.0 as he comes back through (for which she'll be really guiltily grateful, because finding out your ex-boyfriend got blown up fucking sucks, but finding out there's a clone running around whose memories don't actually include the break-up? -- awkward).
