Why This Must Be Read: Rodney's on Earth when a frightened, injured and possibly insane Sheppard turns up at his doorstep, with a seemingly unbelievable story of conspiracy involving the SGC. Unsure who to trust, Rodney turns to Daniel for help.
This story has a great dynamic between all three men. I still have a big soft spot for Daniel going back to the early days of SG1, and he's just the right blend of sympathetic, snarky and skeptical. This was written circa SGA season four, so Rodney and Daniel had not yet interacted (much) in canon, but I really like their verbal sparring as depicted here -- they're not really friends yet, but they're taking the first cautious steps towards it. And Rodney's blend of worry and wariness towards Sheppard is pitch-perfect, as he struggles to unravel the truth, caught between his rational mind's insistence that Sheppard must be insane, and the irrational urge to take a leap of faith to help his friend.
