Dear Fandom:

Well, here it comes again, everybody - I'm crossing my fingers that New Orleans isn't hit as badly as it's been in the past.  At the same time, I'm thinking of things I can do with my students that can help them feel useful: hygiene kits, and canned food donations...

Meanwhile, I'd like to ask if anyone has some fics of our favorite characters dealing with disaster on a wide scale.  I wonder if there are any where the 'Lanteans must go and render humanitarian aid to Earth - or vice-versa.  Does anyone know of stories where the Earthers have to head to Atlantis to render basic aid?

What about offworld?  The 'Lanteans gathering and comforting survivors of Wraith attack?  Disease?  Famine?  Or, again, vice-versa... anytime the Athosians or another group must lend aid to the 'Lanteans?

Stories where Atlantis must start over as a colony of sorts, and receive help from the Athosians or others would also be much appreciated.  I'm a sucker for stories in which an alien culture becomes important, and cultural details are shared/explained.

I've just examined various Katrina music videos to show to my 8th-graders, and my soul needs a little balm.

-K

P.S. - Gen, het, slash, whatever.  Although as always, I have a particular fondness for McShep.  Also, needless to say... the characters succeed against all odds? Please? :)

Um, does the SGA bringing the equivalent of a plague to Pegasus count? Breathe You Deep (http://hth-the-first.livejournal.com/29379.html) by hth_the_first, Rodney/Ronon, John/Teyla, angst and character (as well just all-around) death. Available via the WayBack Machine here (http://web.archive.org/web/20071223035045/hth.gatefiction.com/breatheyoudeep.htm) as the author's site seems to be down for the count.

P.S. - Levees holding so far...
