Why This Must Be Read: black_raven135 emailed me some time back and said, "you must read this fic".   Well I read slash, and NC-17 slash at that, so I was sceptical of what I was going to get out of it.  But I read it and I loved it!  It has my two favourite guys in the lead roles and it's fantastically written.  The visual descriptions of the world that Sheppard has been involuntarily plunged into are woven so brilliantly that you feel as if you are with him, and Ronon, every step along their heartbreaking and almost always scary, yet enlightening, journey.  I was captured and held a willing hostage from the very first sentence.

Why This Must Be Read: I have to be honest here - what first attracted me to this fic was the fact that dogtags were mentioned ;)  IMHO you cannot go past a fic that has both John Sheppard and dogtags in its storyline ;)
Secondly were the references to Coup D'etat, one of my favourite episodes.  Combine all those factors and add in an introspective look inside our favourite Lieutenant Colonel's mind, conflicted heart and a soul that craves a lover, and you have a winner! "Reaffirming Life" is well written, will bring a tear to your eye and a whispered "Oh John" to your lips.  It will deliver delicious heat whilst taking you on a journey, that looks behind the scenes of an episode, that had more than a few potentially explosive plot lines.
