Author's summary: And here they stood, in the ruins of the world they’d fought ten long years to protect, the war lost before they even knew it had begun.
Why This Must Be Read:
One of the most magnificent epic saga I have read ever. Ever. The first story starts off at the end of the end, literally. Earth's first and last line of defense battles a foe that appeared out of nowhere. It captures how far everyone is willing to save the ones they about and Earth. A promise made by Teal'c to General O'Neill, and his unwavering devotion to Carter, is the core of the fic. The apocalypse drives Carter and Teal'c to areas of their relationship and themselves that transcends time and space.
We follow Carter and Teal'c journey though everything the universe throws at them.
All of them are wonderfully paced and full of unexpectant twist that makes you wish it will never end. Carter's response to the lost of SG-1 and Earth is beautifully written capturing both the reality and the tragedy of it all. The journey never end for her. And the saga only continues and only gets better, much better. SG-1/SGA in the first fic, I think even reading that part is worth it by itself. Truly spectacular.
Excerpt:
Daniel was moving, and Teal’c grabbed Colonel Carter again who seemed determined not to leave her team behind. But Teal’c had his orders.
“DANIEL!” They were two steps from the event horizon when Carter’s yell stopped Teal’c in his tracks. He turned in time to see Daniel Jackson fall, a smoking wound on his back.
“GO!” One final tandem yell from Daniel Jackson and O’Neill, who was on his knees with a weapon at his head, spurned Teal’c on. He shoved Colonel Carter through the Gate then dove after her but not before one last look to make sure there was nothing he could do.
His friends were surrounded and still more aliens were emerging from the shadows, some with prisoners in their grasp, all of them armed.
Earth and SG-1, it seemed, had well and truly fallen.

And that's 4 for me. I've enjoyed rec'ing these amazing fics. Happy reading!

As of February 26, 2011, The Way… Series has been pulled from the internet. I ask that people with copies of the series do not distribute, archive, or otherwise make them available to others (this includes emailing copies around). I realize I have no way to stop this activity but I hope that, out of respect for me and the series, fans will respect my wishes.
I'm leaving the rest of the site up. All the supplemental material and artwork will remain accessible.
For those wondering why I pulled the series, the answer is simple and complex.
I started the series for three specific reasons:
1) I wanted to write something fun and frivolous that allowed me to let loose and not agonize over every comma, etc
2) I wanted to work on some writing problems and bad habits I knew I had
3) I had yet to find a Carter-fic that did everything I wanted to see, so I wrote it myself
Over a year, I wrote about 600k words (not accounting for Coda, which is a little over 100k, and was started after the one year anniversary). That’s a staggering amount of output, equivalent to six very long novels. I never knew I was capable of that and am very proud of my accomplishments.
A lot of feedback I received said I should leave fanfiction behind, go “professional,” and a few people suggested I adapt the series into an original work, partly because so much of it already way. I guess it created a seed of thought because I figured out a way to synthesize certain elements into an original project.
I pulled The Way for that reason. For the sake of future options, I can’t have the series on the Internet.
I’m forever thankful to all my readers and everyone who contacted me about the series.
