Link: The Wrong Side of the Tracks on LJ part 1, part 2
Why This Must Be Read: This is an extraordinary amalgam of horror, adventure, romance, and domesticity. It's a fusion of Disney's Lady and the Tramp storyline with SGA, with Rodney as "Lady" the pampered pet, John (of course) as the freedom-loving "Tramp", and a relatively enlightened Wraith queen (Princess) and her consort (Mate) as Rodney's owners. As in the Disney tale, all's well in Rodney's circumscribed world until his mistress gives birth to a hatching and becomes fully a queen, after which he feels neglected and runs off through the Stargate, where he's hopelessly naive and at risk, until John saves him. Rodney and John's relationship with the Wraith is superficially benign (even a bit mercenary in John's case), but throughout the story there are darker hints, as in the excerpt below. Rodney has lost most of his memories of the time before Mate gave him to Princess, Atlantis seems to have been lost, and the ending, oh, the ending... And yet. Princess does seem far more benign and enlightened than most Wraith, and her plans at the end make a frightening amount of sense, given the state of the world. Is it horror? I think so, but it's written so cleverly Gaia almost has me won over.
