Why This Must Be Read:
One of the 2008 Big Bang entries, this story starts out with a jolt: Earth is gone without a warning. The survivors, including three Asgard vessels, have to pull together to keep each other safe and sane. Luckily, they have the assistance of the Pegasus natives they'd managed to ally with before it all ended...or began.
The story is filled with details of how day-to-day living is managed with an emphasis on the team's support of each other. John and Rodney's relationship develops into an even deeper friendship and then more. Along the way, their care for each other is heartwarming in a bleak future. Add in the ongoing struggle against the Wraith with a bold plan for battle, and you have the recipe for a wonderfully satisfying long read with the happy ending I'm always looking for.
