Why This Must Be Read:
I generally wince at character death warnings involving McKay and/or Sheppard, although I then go on to read the story at least once to assess the author's scenario before filing it away for story searches. I then find a happier fic to soothe my aching heart.

Excerpt:
The last nuke is launched into space from the North Dakota bunker at 0900 on a Tuesday.

They load up a Humvee and leave, driving through the rusty gate, hanging open and unguarded, one last time. Rodney has a map and a destination in mind, and that's good enough for John. They've stuck together this long, no point in changing that now.
