teridawn | SGA Fic Rec: Finding Home by Diamond

Nine refugees from Atlantis struggle to find a place in their new world.

Discovered courtesy of wonkyelk (thanks!). From the SGA Big Bang Challenge 2008, canon divergent from about when Sam Carter would have come on board as expedition leader, except the IOA makes a different choice. Very Rodney forward as it is he who strategizes until John’s brain comes back on track. Characterization is on-point and easy to imagine as an actual SGA spin-off.

Couples & Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Radek Zelenka, Evan Lorne and Abraham Ellis, plus various and sundry SGA Characters and a smattering of original characters.

Rating: G to Explicit (eventually)

SumUp: “We’re going to run, John. We’ve got two weeks before the Daedalus gets here. Which means in a week and a half, we have to be long gone from the city.”

Snip: “They will have to prove it and believe me, they will have no proof. This is not first time I am screwing over dictatorship.”
