Why This Must Be Read: Time travel this month! Starting you off gently with an expansion of canon, as this story fills in the gaps of 'The Last Man', telling us both what happened in the "wrong" timeline, and what happens in the canon one, after Sheppard's rescued by holo!Rodney. It's a bit sad in places, yes, but very much worth it, and there's a happy resolution. Told from Evan Lorne's POV in both timelines - it's a great read.


To his complete and utter surprise, Evan hadn't been immediately replaced as acting military commander of Atlantis. He was too young to be promoted, so he assumed it was a temporary situation until they could get all their ducks in a row. That was fine with him, he sure as hell didn't want Sheppard's job. Doing his paperwork was one thing; taking strategic command of Atlantis was another.

He thought of himself as keeping the chair warm for Sheppard; it made things easier on a number of levels, not least of which was babysitting McKay. He was 'Rodney' more often than not now, and Evan had a harder time keeping his distance than he would have guessed, if for no other reason than the man’s dogged determination to find Sheppard and bring him back.

It was three days after Colonel Sheppard's memorial service when Rodney barged into Evan’s weekly security meeting with Colonel Carter. "Sheppard's not dead."

Colonel Carter positively glowed. "I knew you'd figure it out, Rodney!"

Rodney beamed at her. "It's in the sensor logs. There was a solar flare when Sheppard dialed the gate. He's time traveling."
