Why This Must Be Read:

As the summary says, this is a cold and broken hallelujah. It's Elizabeth, post The Siege Part 1, reflecting on the losses they've suffered so far and the ones that they may suffer yet. It's short but packs a punch, and the best thing about it is how subtly it does it. I love how The Moonmoth leaves so much unsaid, but it has an impact anyway. And the way that she uses words in this piece is a joy:

After hearing of Peter's death and the destruction of the satellite, after ordering McKay and Miller back to Atlantis, after making the city-wide announcement of their failure, Elizabeth is grimly satisfied that her voice hasn't wavered, that her eyes don't swim. Her mouth, though -- she presses her lips together firmly, forcing it into a straight, emotionless line. It's the line she can't cross right now, can't bend or even turn at the edges.
