Why This Must Be Read: My final novel-length rec, and again, this one'll be known to many people. This long, plotty fic starts with the Expedition 'gating back to Earth as the city's under a final attack, but in trying to save everyone, John and Rodney end up stranded, escaping at the last minute in a jumper to a Pegasus address. They're in a long-term relationship and the story's about that in part, but in a quieter way, more like the ups and downs of a marriage than a romance. What I love most about this story is the detail and worldbuilding about how they survive amidst the warring Wraith and Asurans, and the people they gather to them from Pegasus - runners, survivors, the injured and the desperate. In the same way that the Terrans differ from the Ancients by fighting back rather than escaping into ascension, in this fic, John and Rodney stick around and don't abandon the people of the Pegasus Galaxy, and slowly, slowly, they make a difference.
