Why this must be read:

When Atlantis can't contact Earth late Season 3, they have to learn and adapt to survive. John and Rodney learn to turn to their team and each other for comfort and family in these trying circumstances. I love the build-up of John's and Rodney's relationship; it isn't just jump in the sack and presto, instant love. It takes some pushing by teammates and realizations on their parts to reach a love for the galaxies. Besides this fantastic John/Rodney build-up, there's some great cultural introspection and wonderful storytelling in this story. A definite must read for anyone who loves the "cut off from Earth" trope with a side of John/Rodney.

ETA (2/18/11): Totally forgot to add that there's a podfic for this by jinjurly. Bad duonoaikouka !!

Story Summary: Earth is gone, lost to the Ori and Atlantis has to take a hard look at how to survive now that they're on their own.

Show: Stargate Atlantis

Rec Category: Crossover
Characters: Teyla, Ronon, Teal'c, Bra'tac
Het/Slash/Gen: Gen
Warnings: crossover with SG-1
Author on LJ: kormantic
Author's Website: the skalab</td>
Link: Contemporary Wushu

Why This Must Be Read: This fic sparkles with the subtler kind of humor, with Teyla and Teal'c providing amused commentary as Bra'tac teaches Ronon a thing or two about sly old codgers and their tricks. Teyla and Teal'c friendship is always a treasure, and so is Bra'tac awesomeness. Put it all together, and this fic is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
