Archived at AO3Why this must be read: There's a power surge that's continuing to grow at Grounding Station #3, which was damaged during the events of the gigantic storm and the Genii invasion then supposedly shut down afterward but energy continued to be absorbed and now it has no where to go. As usual, it's up to Rodney to pull off a miracle and save the day. The difference is that this time, Rodney's not certain he can save the city without sacrificing himself in the process. This is a gorgeously written story that could have been a coda to the two-part episode. This story is filled with witty dialogue, a fast pace and a happy ending making it well worth your time.
