Why This Must Be Read: 

No-one is sleeping.

While I also love basingstoke's Ceasefire, I chose to rec Armistice because, Carson! (Just for your information, Sunday doesn't exist until I've seen it, and don't know if I plan to see it ever...)

Armistice is set post-The Siege III. It's over, but out heroes still find it hard to get any sleep. To say anything more would be to spoil the reading experience.

While I read fanfic mostly for characters and plot, this is one of the fics I come back to over and over again because of the language. It's only a little over 1000 words, but not one word is unnecessary and the whole thing flows so beautifully that I never get tired of reading it. I wish I could explain it better but you'll just have to go and see for yourselves.

I liked the writing, but not this particular story so I went on and read the other SGA stories by this author and really liked them a lot. Characterizations are wonderful and yes, not one unnecessary word in any of them. Thanks for pointing these out.
