Why This Must Be Read: This nice and long (just over 40K) fic reads like a really fantastic episode, shot but not aired and included in the bonus features of the limited edition box set of blurays. You can actually 'see' it all happening. SGAfan is SO mean to the boys, Sheppard especially. It's one never-ending roller coaster ride of emotions, action and whumpage that leaves you forgetting to breathe then gasping air in the short moments before the next plunge, twist or climb in the story. I really enjoyed this, and even though it's broken up into chapters, I actually read it from 'cover to cover' because I found it impossible to save any for later.
Excerpt:
"Damn it!" he tapped his call button. "Stay put, Teyla. We're on our way to you." John glanced at Ronon before the both of them took off at a fast run towards the gate. It wasn't long until they caught up with Teyla and McKay. Kneeling next to her, John's eyes scanned the rustling underbrush surrounding a small clearing that housed the Stargate. His mind raced for a moment, before he pursed his lips and decided on a course of action. Reaching into his tac vest, John pulled out a fresh clip for his P-90. "I'll draw their fire. As soon as the way is clear, you three get your asses through the gate. I'll double back and follow." With a practiced hand, John loaded the fresh clip into his P-90.
"Colonel..." Teyla started.
"You can't be serious!" McKay protested.
"I'm going with you." Ronon stated unequivocally.
Under les dangerous conditions, John might have found the simultaneous protests funny, but this was no time for argument. "That's enough!" he snapped, ending all their protests. "Get through the gate. That's an order." He lifted himself into a low crouch and paused before looking back at each of them. "I won't be far behind," he reassured, his voice tempered.
"You better not be," Ronon grumbled...
