Summary: "When the engines start purring, when the Ancient warship Helios stirs and shudders like a cat stretching out after a ten-thousand-year nap, when the systems all start coming online at once and Rodney's crack team of highly trained scientists are in the engine room squealing like a high school pep squad, Rodney is down the hall in a utility closet."

Why This Must Be Read: This is a Sam/Rodney fic from the POV of Radek, and it's simply hilarious and endearing. There are plenty of McShep fans who read otters fic and scream "YES!" because she's able to show what Samantha Carter should have evolved into as well as show how snarky and geeklicious Sam is with Rodney. The character voices are so delightful and perfect. Even if you're not a fan of Sam/Rodney, you should read it to see how well otter is able to portray the sinking pain Radek experiences when they fire up an Ancient warship and forget to wake Rodney.
