Link: Daemonology on AO3
Why This Must Be Read: This is a classic AU and will be well known - a fusion of SGA with a His Dark Materials-like 'verse, with daemons. It's masterfully done, and an excellent read. I wonder how many of us remember, though, that there's a follow-up fic, actually a prequel (but you need to read Daemonology first). It's called A Monologue for Two Voices. The link is to Wayback, although the fic's still on LJ. It's a lovely character snapshot of Rodney and Tyk.
There's a podfic of Daemonology, and if you'd like to see how I envisioned the team and their daemons from Trin's descriptions, the art's here: John & Nioke, Rodney &Tyk, Teyla & Keho, Ronon & Imara.
They had always wanted to fly; John couldn’t fly; Nioke flew for him.
Since the day he was born, she’d rarely worn any other form. She was strong feathers and delicate bones, swooping, soaring, riding the wind. She was his beacon, going where he could not, as fast and as far and as high as she could until the pain called her back, called them back to each other.
There was never any doubt that when the time came, she would settle as a bird. The only question was what kind. Hawk, Eagle, Sparrow, Finch, Falcon... They whispered the names to each other in the dark.
Then John woke up a few weeks before his thirteenth birthday to discover that Nioke had ceased to be a bird for good.
John learned to fly planes.
