    Summary

    This is a long, slow telling of my version of Season 1, mostly from John's POV-- mostly dealing with his relationship to Rodney, but a little with Elizabeth, and his team.
    It's pre-slash up until it suddenly gets good in like chapter 6 or so.
    It is nearly complete, though there will undoubtedly be a sequel.

    The chapter where the slash starts is part of the story I wrote for McShep Match 2012-- the finale-- and appears in nearly the same form in that story, but the two tales diverge... sort of.

    There are no graphic descriptions of rape or non-con, but it is referred to, and sort of non-con/prostitution takes place offscreen. Gore is moderate.

    This is not a fast-paced story; it's mostly an excuse to spend a lot of time in Atlantis, focus on the setting and on the stuff the TV show never really had room for, or interest in.

    Daily life on Atlantis.
    As the author says:-
    "t's mostly an excuse to spend a lot of time in Atlantis, focus on the setting and on the stuff the TV show never really had room for, or interest in.'
    Also how the MRE gets replaced... we need to know this!

    Summary

    An alternate reality where The Trust tried to destroy the Atlantis Expedition before it had even begun. The wild card instead changes everything, putting Major Sheppard in command of an expedition cut off from Earth.
    The choices he makes shape a very different Atlantis from the one we know, and six years later a very different Atlantis from the one Earth expects.

    Command structure sudden change. Everyone learns a lot rapidly from Rodney. The Genaii have to be taught. Elizabeth's org chart is insane...

    The nuts bolts and bubbly tubes of the glorious city, but the lights go out. How post s5 everybody reacts. John reflects.
