synecdochic, Freedom's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose
On the web or in two parts on lj ( part 1 and part 2).
She says in her noticeboard post as a warning that the title is not an accident, but for the wary, no, this is not darkfic, and I also don't think it spoils the story at all to know going in that this is about Rodney after John, and after Atlantis. It *is* sad in many places, but it's not depressing, and it's wildly beautiful.
This is very much a Rodney story, and if you don't love him, it probably won't hit you as strongly as it did me; but at the same time, I defy almost anyone to *not* love this Rodney. This isn't Rodney as he is now, it's someone that he could become, and you see all the other characters and Atlantis herself in their influence on him.
*happy*
