SGA Big Bang recs

[dragojustine]

Am not dead, just still doing the depression thing, hence the two-week turnaround time responding to communications, and the lack of Christmas cards. But I still love you all and miss you, okay? And I wrote my sga_santa fic, which turned out better than I expected, so that's made me happy enough to post

hi. thank you for reccing! i'm all flaily handed over what you had to say -- and yes, ronon and sam made me sad, too. sam in particular, since i would have loved to keep her there, and to not have that conflict. however, i have a beta who is far more sg1-literate than i am, and she convinced me that sam's team back on earth would never have given up on her, and she would never believably leave them behind.

ronon, though. oh, ronon. so badly screwed over, but so blamelessly. he's just not the kind of person to shrug it off and give his trust again, and if he did, it would be a long, long process. if he's going to find peace again, though, and trust anyone, i figured the best candidate for that trust was himself. after a fashion.

(i do, in fact, love you (in a general free-floating goodwill way), and i totally want you to be happy. but who *doesn't* love clones, amnesia, and exploration of identity?)

Your beta is right about Sam- For most of the Atlantis expedition, especially the first wave, Atlantis becomes their home and their primary loyalty, and for Sam... it just wouldn't. I loved when you had Rodney, of all people, explain it to her- it would never occur to her to shift her loyalties away from Earth and the SGC, and I totally believe that she would be a bit oblivious to the fact that most of the base has this... thing that she just isn't part of. And Ronon, same- it makes me so sad, but you were right.

>but who *doesn't* love clones, amnesia, and exploration of identity?

I know, right? Here we get the gateverse throwing clones and android copies and de-aging and amnesia and false memories and brainwashing and who-the-fuck-knows at these characters, and we here in fandom have to run about madly picking up the pieces and trying to give these poor guys some chance of, you know, knowing themselves. *g* It's good fun. And yours was one of the best.

your reccs
