Why This Must Be Read:

The description 'sprawling epic' seems tailor-made for this series. Although these are ensemble pieces, Jehan abd-Ba'al and Meredith McKay's story is a major component throughout. Each character's backstory has changed from canon at a crucial point to bring them all together in Atlantis after action-packed journeys through Pegasus. No excerpt for this one - I just couldn't choose.

I've always meant to read this series, I just haven't gotten around to it :\ I think I got the impression that it's gen with light McShep, and I usually have to be in a certain mood for gen...

But what the hell, I think it's time for a read :D

Thanks for the rec!

Can I just say how much I appreciate it that you set up your links to open in a new tab? It's so nice to be able to finish going through my flist and then go back to look at fics without having to manually open new tabs for those urls.
