Author’s Summary: To the day of his death, Radek believed that one of the universe's greatest cosmic jokes was that he would come to Atlantis and fall in love with the city. The city in the middle of an ocean. The city which could fly.

Why This Must Be Read: I really love this fic, a little long for some but so worth it. It’s a peek into the Mensa - AU told from Radek and Rod's perspective's as they work to save their own during their version of “Grace Under Pressure.” Contains high emotions, angst, and fear, but worry not, it ends on a lighter note.

Author's Summary:

“I thought I invited you here for a beer, not to play Dear Abby.” Jack reached into the cooler for another beer, not looking at Daniel.

Daniel huffed but didn’t say anything, looking up at the night sky above them. “Don’t wait too long, Jack,” Daniel spoke quietly, “—you never have as much time as you think you have.”


Why This Must Be Read:

An old SG-1 fic from FCOL. It's set just after Daniel returns from one of his ascended periods.

Just simple Jack and Daniel friendship.
