Why This Must Be Read: The author is able to give so much insight into Ronon's history by just giving him the POV in this story. She does a wonderful job of giving us small glimpses that ring so true, and the way that she builds up the relationship between Ronon and Jennifer is slow and gentle and so believable. You can feel the need they have for each other on a fundamentally emotional level, not just physically. All of that together makes this fic definitely worth the read.

I liked it all so much that I had a difficult time even coming up with the best excerpt because I wanted to copy and paste the whole thing!


Excerpt:

He wants to tell her to have a good time. He knows that she misses Earth, and that she's not like the others who rarely talk about being from there, about their families or friends they've left behind. Instead, what comes out is, "I had an older sister. She was a pain in the ass."

Keller stands still, just looking, and she always does that - just like McKay in that way, like if she studies him hard enough she can figure him out. He hates that every time he mentions his past, his family, anything about his life before he came to Atlantis, he can see the pity on others' faces. He's tired of watching the tragedy of his own life resonating off everyone else; he doesn't actually think his life is a tragedy, not any more, not for a while. "Yeah, I think that's what sisters are made for," Keller says, lips starting to turn up at the sides, and there’s no pity there, "but I love her anyway. Listen, um, do you want to come? With me?"
