Why This Must Be Read: In the past we've seen how hard it is for Elizabeth to adapt to the loss of her home, this fic explores this idea further in two different time lines. The first dealing more with the physical difficulties and the latter with the a less tangible idea of home. The author captures the struggling Elizabeth quite beautifully without making her too weepy and I do like how the two time lines parallel each other in various respects.

Life on the mainland is much different from life on Atlantis – and in ways far more expansive than the obvious material comforts. Their roles are different here, different strengths are valued above others, and their needs have changed. They’ve come to depend on each other in a manner that seems more complex than it was before – and maybe more necessary. They are the remaining, the ones left behind, and with the help of each other they will be the survivors.
