sgabigbang. Awesome, in-character, supernatural AU dealing with steampunk. It's one thing to write a totally new universe where you have to make up rules and species and define new terminology, and yet quite another to breath such life into the world. Lanna_Kitty does an awesome job of creating a whole new world where "the world is an alternate history version of our own world with a few radical changes. The first is that magic is real and works. The second is the presence of supernatural races that live, work, love and fight with normal humans. Most notable of these are the Werewolves and the Vampires. The third is that it is a steampunk setting."
All of this should not mesh with SGA, but dude, like I always say, Sheppard/Weir fandom kicks ass at AUs. Loved that she had that same sense of adventure/exploration in it that we're familiar with in the show, and how everybody was in character despite being in different roles. It should not work, but it totally does because Lanna never goes bad with characterization. Even with Teyla and Ronon as werewolves, or Elizabeth as a vampire, etc.
This story has a great supporting cast, including everyone from Sumner to Sam to Jeannie Miller to Laura Cadman. Practically everyone. Plus, there's some steamy romantic scenes with John and Elizabeth that will reduce your brain to liquid! Read! Go! It will amaze you!
