Why This Must Be Read: This story's more of a classical Halloweenish tale, so it's a good one to start with. It's plenty spooky and horrifying, but be reassured by the tags. Not all the fics I'm reccing this month end happily, so make the most of this one!
Resigning himself to a cold, wet slog, John hunched inside his jacket, flipped up the collar in a futile attempt to keep the rain out, and then set off toward the village. He felt numb, distanced from a reality gone terribly wrong as he made the journey alone, but his team's absence was the reason John had gone against Carter's direct orders. He'd refused to accept the loss of Ronon, Teyla and Rodney, to leave them behind for dead simply because Carter had refused to capitulate to Kolya's demands.
It had been one thing for John to insist that Atlantis leave him to the rogue Genii's torture by wraith, but he would never accept the same fate for his team. John shuddered as he imagined their screams, the withering of skin and muscle, the dimming of their bright lives. All of them were important to him, but Rodney held John's heart and he couldn't catch his breath whenever he considered life without him.
