Why This Must Be Read: After the death of Peter Grodin, a special British Police team is given security clearance and goes to Atlantis to investigate. This Story is filled with oc's, but they are all well developped characters who serve to accentuate the characters we already know and love. The best example of this is John. While Still keeping him the same John, Elliev really fleshes out the character into something really special. We see John as very smart and intuitive but at the same time still emotionally stunted. The SGA Characters are mostly seen through the eyes of the Police team who are used to seeing more than what meets the eye so we see a lot of things we wouldn't see if it were from the point of view of one of the SGA character. The OC's are also excellent characters themselves, seriously I almost wish Mr. Stretton was actually a character on SGA.

Note: There is also a sequel called Postliminium which is incomplete and is slow to update, but is shaping up to be even better than the first.

Why This Must Be Read: Surreallis crafts a story that is perfectly Lovecraftian, rich with unease and twists and sheer horror. Some things found through the Stargate are better left alone...

Superbly written, fabulous team interaction, and deft use of modern mythology - all here, and terrifyingly good.
