Why This Must Be Read: Sentinels have to have Guides, but John Sheppard hasn't found his and is beginning to think he never will. He's something of an anomaly, living his life alone and managing his Sentinel gifts. This story is both serious and funny, sad and joyful, as John meets Atlantis and learns how to function with an AI as his Guide. I really enjoyed howesteefee took a basic idea from canon--John's connection with Atlantis--and expanded on it. It's a fast-paced story, a new look at Rising, and the way a different sort of Sentinel and Guide can make all the difference in the world.

"Major, this is not the best place to get gatesick."
"I'm not—" John heard a panicked wailing start, except somehow it was in his mind, not his ears. "It's…it's the city. It's in my mind."
"The city? Please," McKay scoffed.
"No, I mean, I can hear something. Like with the jumper. There's an alarm going off." This was crazy. It was flashing behind his eyes, triggering a righteous headache. "Don't you hear it?"
