Why This Must Be Read: This is a classic "Jack and Daniel go to Atlantis" fic—Elizabeth Weir's new colony gets two high-profile immigrants. One of the things that makes this one stand out is that it's not really their choice to move there permanently, and it's not quite the same thing as home, so there's a touch of angst as they settle in. The fic balances this with plenty of humor, mostly provided by superb character voices, including one of my favorite Atlantis tropes: Atlantis loves Jack's ATA gene to the extent John gets jealous.
