Why this must be read:
Teyla is lost on a quest for revenge, while her teammates wait for her to come home. The whole team's loyalty and caring for each other is shown beautifully. I loved Ronon's voice here and how the parallels between his own story and what's happening to Teyla help him help her.

Summary:
Teyla helped make a home for Ronon, once. In the face of loss and grief, Ronon returns the favor.

Ronon recites the Song for the Dead as he carries stones. When he began, Teyla had looked at him with surprise before nodding her thanks. She doesn't watch his progress, focusing instead on the cloth-wrapped bundle in her arms.

It doesn't take long to gather enough stones for a child-sized cairn.

Xover with Back to the Future

OK, now I know that there are people reading that above phrase and going, WTF!?!?!?! But hold your horses before scrolling/clicking away. This cross actually works! crimsonclad gives us an absolutely amazing look at Rodney's past that is at times mind-bogglingly hilarious and at times darkly scary. Rodney's dislike for this movie is very thoroughly explained in a way that will make the reader shudder at the implications. And yet, I swear, you'll be chuckling like crazy at John's urge to run through Atlantis saying "My boyfriend is Marty McFly!!". I definitely chuckled at that one. :) Enjoy the crack-y place that is crimsonclad's mind and story. You'll want to come back for more, I swear. :)
