Hey guys!
Here is fic! As for every bigbang/reversebang, it's been a long time coming, but today is the day :)
The inspiration for my story for
sgareversebang is the art by the fabulous
antares04a. It is so beautiful, I was grabbed by it as soon as I saw it (please go tell her how awesome she is!). Oh, the possibilities. I went semi-AU with this, aka a divergent timeline. It's the characters we know, but where John gets to Atlantis late, since he didn't leave for Atlantis after Antarctica.
Also, thank you so much to the lovely
clarahow, who, without even knowing me, generously offered her help to beta this fic through the community
1_million_words. She did a fantastic job, for which I am so grateful!

Warnings: canon-level violence; Alternate Universe in the shape of a divergent timeline, but it drops back in season 4 or so (spoilers for the series)
Summary: Several years ago, John Sheppard flipped a coin and didn't go to Atlantis. Out of the Air Force and now working as a photographer, he is offered a job on Atlantis for a public relations operation. In short, this is a story about second chances and how John finds his home, his team, and love in the end.
