Summary by the author:
On their first mission with Teyla back from maternity leave, the team gets separated, trapped, and manipulated in a deadly game of chance.

Why This Must Be Read:
While I like the way the story is divided in two separate lines of action that finally meet to reveal the full picture of what's going on here, it is the team-aspect that is the real strong suit of this story. It's the only one I found so far that addresses the matter of Teyla's first mission after her maternity leave (though I would love to find a few more).

Usually I'm not a big fan of alternating POVs but here it's the perfect way to show how the team members' minds work and how they view each other. Trillingstar has such a knack for showing this in a perfectly worded way. It just sounds - natural and true to the characters. Ronon's worry about Rodney, Rodney's thought of „Ronon-shaped protector“, the list of possible „Teyla's back“-missions John gave to Woolsey, Teyla's initial troubles to get back into the right mindset, and so much more. Yes, the force team aspect ist strong with this one.
