Why This Must Be Read: This early SGA fic (c.2005) brilliantly pegs both John Sheppard and Rodney McKay, gets the voices just right, and highlights that extra something about John that intrigues so many readers: John's connection with Ancient technology. It also has a powerful internal voice for John as well as Rodney's outsider POV to balance the emotional impact of the whole story. Short one-shot but highly memorable.
He's dying, he thinks, still not quite believing it -- dying, even though the only thing wrong with him is that he is currently suspended over a chasm. He's not sick, or seriously injured, but he's dying nonetheless, and your life flashing before your eyes? Turns out that's bullshit; the only thing flashing before his eyes are the damn birds, and he can swear they're wondering when he's going to stop fucking around and just fly away.
Oh, he'll fly all right. Like a rock, straight down to the ground.
