Why This Must Be Read: Sorry it's so late, but I will say that this is a great fic to end out the year. This one starts out being a primarily Carson-centric fic with a background McShep pairing with a noticeable helping of pining!Carson (for Rodney.) Carson gets an ancient maintenance device (which he names "Murdoc")attached to his arm which tells him how to fix the city and which won't come off. Ever. This leads to some rather intriguing "Carson fixing the city and going rather crazy in the process" and further leads to "Carson finds ZPMs." ZPMs allow the Atlanteans to travel back to Earth but Carson, by virtue of the bracelet becoming Atlantis' maintenance crew, is unable to leave. Rodney and John end up staying on Atlantis and you know the pairing, but I'm going to leave the rest of the details up to you to discover. I highly recommend this fic on all fronts: interesting plot, humorous and serious moments and a seriously well written McKay/Sheppard/Beckett threesome dynamic. Also this one is a fairly substantial length, so perfect reading for while you're lazing off that hangover tomorrow!

(Happy New Year to all of my New Year celebrating Stargaters and I look forward to reccing new and interesting things in 2010!)
