Why This Must Be Read: So, how do you cross Stargate Atlantis with JRR Tolkien's legendarium and do it in a way that is logical, bridges both very disparate universes exceptionally well and still makes for a great read? Just like this. :)
Snippet of Fic:
"I'm getting an IDC," Rodney said in disbelief, checking the readout on his tablet yet again. Then he looked back up at the wooden side of the great vessel looming above him. "It's like the city thinks it's a puddlejumper, or something-- I don't understand it. Something must have got knocked loose in the sensors when we landed."
"I don't think so, Rodney," John observed with a small smile, watching the bustlings of the crew up above; he'd expected to see the Shipwright, not the Mariner, but he'd never turn down a chance to see his grandfather. "Unless Atlantis reads her as something other than Vingilot?"
"You know this ship?" Woolsey blurted in surprise.
"Yeah, you could say that," John drawled, watching from the corners of his eyes as Rodney tapped something else on his tablet-- then gasped and looked up, eyes drawn inexorably toward the brightly coruscating lamp visible at the ship's prow. "No, your sensors aren't lying, Rodney. That really is what you think it is. And no, you can't have it."
"But if that's an advanced ZedPM, just think..." the scientist objected.
"Greater men than you have fought wars over that thing, Rodney. Just let it go," John told him, calmly.
