Summary: "No names," Rodney tells them, one more time. "And no dates -- I'm serious about that. No one can know what anyone else is planning." John learns the structures of life and death.
Review:
An email comes to Rodney from the SGC: They're shutting down the Atlantis expedition. What follows is a plan that increasingly edges into uncertain territory -- in a galaxy full of unexpected danger, who's truly in control?
The best part about the Atlantis expedition is the strong bonds and friendships that are built up between people, like-minded people with a thirst for adventure and exploration and more than anything, standing together against the great unknown. This fic showcases this wonderfully, and just a little heartbreakingly.
This is a taut and suspenseful read, set in Season 4. Written for the Ways to Die challenge on

Thanks so much!
It's an amazing story, I still remember when I first read it and I was all -- did this happen? What really happened?! I can't believe it's been 6 years!
SGA is a newish fandom for me so I am always eager to see great story recs.
I love the way this story focuses on the depth of commitment to the worlds of Pegasus and the links between the characters. Few stories can bring this about and provide a riveting plot giving us a ringside seat into the hearts of our favorites.
Welcome to this shiny new fandom! I read extensively in SGA some time around 2007 to 2010, so I'll be continuing to rec in this fandom now and then :)
