Why This Must Be Read: After reading this story tonight, I instantly had to rush over here and rec. This story blew me away -- I recommend that you try it whether or not you normally read gen, whether or not you read deathfic; it's really, truly that good. Everything about this story is wonderful: the concept, the execution, the mystery, the tremendous depth of emotion and the understated way in which it is conveyed, the carefully crafted plot where every piece falls into place one by one. John is wonderful in this, and the bond between Sheppard and his team, and especially between Sheppard and Rodney, is beautifully developed.

He's the last one to get to Rodney's quarters, but Rodney doesn't even chide him for it. He just looks up from his seat on the end of the bed and hands John a tablet with an email from the SGC. Teyla's sitting on the edge of the couch. Ronon's leaning uneasily against the table. All three of them watch him as he reads it.
"It's a set of new research directives for the science departments," John says, scrolling downward.
"With a uniform deadline for completion," Rodney says. He doesn't wait for John to ask. "Two years."
John stares. "They're shutting down the expedition?"
Teyla bites her lower lip, knuckles pale where her hands are laced together on her lap. Ronon raises his eyebrows. "Or changing it," he says, and folds his arms a little more tightly across his chest.
That night, they make the pact.
