Show: SGA
Rec Category: Rodney McKay
Categories: Gen
Warnings: Imprisonment, PTSD
Link: Released but never free on AO3
Why This Must Be Read: When Rodney's caught trespassing off-world he's captured and sentenced for espionage, instead of serving that time he has 20 years worth of memories implanted into his brain before he's allowed back to Atlantis. Back home he has to learn to deal with what's been done to him, but that's a lot harder than it sounds. [Set somewhere in season 3 and based on Star Trek DS9 episode 'Hard Time']
Upfront I should point out that I have never seen the DS9 episode that this is inspired by but the idea seemed so plausible in the SGA universe and my heart broke for Rodney so hard!
