Author's Summary:

The Atlanteans partake in a traditional Tau'ri ritual, and give the new guy on SG-18 some insight into just how weird things can get in another galaxy.

“We partake in their cultural rituals, they partake in ours.” Ingen said sagely. “Plus, it’s freaking hilarious. Pegasus problems are so much weirder than Milky Way problems, Faulkner.”

Why This Must Be Read:

A nicely done outside POV that really is an SGA story but Jack O'Neill shows up briefly at the end, so I can rec this under that category!

The Lanteans come to the Mountain in what is an annual 'Explain Yourself' day. It's essentially a round of "what the heck were you thinking?" that helps explain the differences between what happens in the Pegasus galaxy and what happens in the Milky Way galaxy.

The fic is funny, has a clever twist, and is just well done!
