Why This Must Be Read: I'm slipping this one in as it's still April 30th in some parts of the globe :). But I couldn't end a rec-series on Outsider POV without one by rhymer23, who's written some great outsider POV stories. This one is a novel-length epic, and a riveting action/adventure and hurt/comfort tale about the team, on a mission-gone-wrong. It's told entirely through a series of OMCs and OFCs from that world, and is a really great read.

Author's Summary:  It started with a strange vessel crashing down from the sky. Then three strangers appeared in a decaying city, willing to risk everything to rescue an imprisoned friend. For those caught up in the adventures of these four, nothing will ever be the same again. (Team adventure seen through the eyes of original characters.)

Summary by the author:
Everyone works together when Ronon reveals his plan to destroy a Hive ship.

On AO3 the author tagged the story also with "Team as Family" - can't say it better.

Written from a great Ronon POV, we see the team through his eyes - melagan does an *awesome* job with that. And I love how Ronon is shown matching the background we know from the show: as a member of his homeworld force with knowledge according to his former rank and function. This story would also very well match the "Ronon"-category, but since team plays such a big role in it, the story fits the "Team"-category as well. This could easily have been an episode.

Since it's an SGA-Reverse-Bang-story you should not forget to follow the link on AO3 to the great artwork that inspired the story.
