Man, they are way behind on deaths and resurrections.
What's sad is that before reading any of the fanfic, I absolutely didn't see any subtext on the show (while rolling my eyes that the then Xena-esque Teyla and Sheppard were so obviously headed for coupledom). Now not only is Teyla cool, but I can't watch Sheppard and McKay hopping with excitement after the former flings the latter over a railing without thinking "yeah, they're doing it."

Give them time. By this point in SG-1...
Okay, yeah, by this point Daniel had already died twice. No, three times -- isn't The Nox season 1? In which case Daniel had died three times and everyone else once.
I'm with Katie: the story was great fun, but oh so... self-indulgent. That's as good a descriptor as any. A steady diet of that would give me ulcers, but once in a while, and as well-written as it is, I don't mind. And I'm not even a Shep/McKay shipper, it's just that much of the best writing in SGA appears to be that pairing.
Oh, man, that story really was good. Mind you, I should have been reading some of the 75 pages of boring textbook material that has to be read by Wednesday. Still, it was lovely. Loved the Google results.
It was a really well done example of a type of story I don't much like. But I liked it. Hah.
Apart from what shrift wrote, has there been any good Lost fic to speak of?
That was a fun story. It's the fanfic equivalent of comfort food, IMO. It's nice to have something like that to wallow in when the angst becomes a bit much.
The only thing that really kept niggling at me the whole time was that they lived in that pseudo-marriage that long without either getting together or getting into some kind of relationship with other people. It wasn't long in story terms, but it was a few years, and it just seemed weird that they'd be in this not-quite-gay holding pattern that long.
Perkins, Yahtzee has a couple of good stories in her livejournal back around November 2004. There's an archive of fanfiction for the show here, but it's pretty hit or miss.
