Author: torakowalski
Rating: Hard R/NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary:

Accidents and mishaps with Ancient or alien technology are a common feature of SGA fic. torakowalski offers a clever take on the standard plot, and provides a lot of angst for Rodney in the process. The gradual reveal of what's going on is well-paced, with the story becoming increasingly unsettling as it unfolds and torakowalski does a great job of capturing Rodney's desperation and frustration as his world spins further and further out of control.

Brief summary:

A lovely, lyrical story about isolation, and the comfort that can come from stepping outside the lines every now and then. This story makes me want, with a kind of desperate urgency. I want the way Rodney wants, what Rodney wants, what he and John find together when they step away from their everyday lives. This is a wonderfully sensual story, full of lush descriptions. It's languid, slow-moving, yet powerful, with a wonderful depiction of shared comfort and community.
