This is a repost of an earlier rec I made. I needed to split the stories into two posts.

Why This Must Be Read: At the end of "The Hive" I was a little disappointed that there was no scene with the team that addressed the point that Rodney was back in Atlantis. No one asking why he was there and no still on the planet with Ford's men. We are given no idea what, if anything, they were told about Rodney ODing on the enzyme. Lacey McBain filled that gapping hole very nicely with a well constructed short story that was satisfying and kept true to how an exchange between McKay and Sheppard would likely go.
