Why This Must Be Read: This one isn't very outsidery, because it's Ronon's take as an (alien) friend, on John and Rodney's relationship. And yet it is outsider POV, because in not very many words, sabine manages to tell us a hell of a lot about Satedan culture and Atlantis culture, and how Atlantis - and John and Rodney - have weathered the ending of DADT. This fic is also great because it's funny - Sheppard bitching about Rodney is a hoot, and Ronon is the best non-listening listener ever. It always makes me laugh.

Why This Must Be Read: This story is an alternate re-telling of the season 2 episodes 'The Runner' and 'The Epiphany' told with two very distinct changes: one, it's Rodney instead of John who gets stuck inside the time dilation field and two, the village inside the field is abandoned. Well, mostly abandoned. There might be this scary-looking guy with dreads hanging out there too.

Like everything Leesa Perrie and Janye Perry write, this story is well-written and engaging, and combining the two episodes together makes for an interesting plot mix. I have a weakness for stories that highlight the odd friendship/respect/fondness that Rodney and Ronon have for each other and this story shows the development of this unlikely friendship from a different-than-usual angle. This story is definitely worth reading!

Why This Must Be Read: This is a wonderful little tag to the episode Kindred part 2, with Rodney finding Ronon standing in front of the capsule where they've placed Carson Beckett's cloned body to try to save him. There's a lovely feeling of bonding that builds up over the course of the story between these two very different men who realize they do have at least one thing in common - their friendship with Beckett. There are some nice little touches of humor and the voices are pretty spot on.
