Why This Must Be Read: Who in Atlantis fandom hasn't read miss_porcupine's work? Her fic is amazing fun with a good helping of realism and filled with terrific characterization and wonderful original characters that round out the world of Atlantis and make it seem like a very real place. In this gapfiller for the time between The Lost Boys and The Hive, we're given a look through Zelenka's eyes at how the team's disappearance is quite literally affecting Atlantis. It's a nice glimpse into the relationship between the city and the expedition, Sheppard in particular and how important the team really is to the city.
