Why This Must Be Read: In this alternate variant of Conversion, John fully transforms into the blue iratus bug version of himself. Rodney builds him a habitat and the team tries to accept things and move on with their lives, but John may not be as far gone as they think. Heartbreaking all the way up through the happy ending.

"It’s too late," Carson said. He could hear the thick exhaustion in his own voice and something that nudged a little too close to grief. "I can’t…it didn’t work." John was already strapped down in isolation. "There’s nothing I can do for him. I’m sorry."

Rodney just stared at him. His face was utterly, terrifyingly blank. Carson had seen people look like that when he told them their children were dead. "What do you mean?" Rodney asked, as if Rodney, of all people, self-proclaimed smartest one of them all, couldn’t possibly know.

"It means he’s gone, Rodney," Elizabeth said gently. She reached out to touch Rodney’s shoulder, and her hand shook. "It means John Sheppard is gone."
