independent!Atlantis and Pegasus culture

[kirinin.livejournal.com]

I tried asking for this with a different heading awhile back and with maybe too much exposition?  Anyway, what I'd like are stories where Atlantis runs into trouble and gets cut off from earth; especially fic in which they must seek aid from other Pegasus cultures.

This may include the familiar Athosians, or may involve a group who is entirely different - so long as they lend significant assistance to the 'Lanteans in their time of need.

Special preference shown for:

• fics where the actual culture/traditions of the new group is/are considered important, or discussed by the author
• fics that focus on trade, alliances, partnerships; in other words, where the 'Lanteans show respect to offworlders rather than an ethnocentric earth-rocks attitude...
• Team!fic, where Teyla's contributions are seen as vital to the expedition.  (Or replace 'Teyla' with 'Elizabeth' in that sentence.)
• ...McShep.  (As always.)

However, so long as it's a cut-off-from-earth and a new-culture fic, the above is optional.  ;)

I'm aware of:

• Transcendental
• the Complexity of Daily Life
• Midwinter

As always, thanks for the help!  :)

Hmm. This might work for you--

No Light and Transient Cause (The director's cut) by sheafrotherdon: http://sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com/289117.html

There's also Who's Left and Who's Leaving by fierclydreamed: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/663538.html

Both fics deal more with the leaving than the aftermath, but you get a sense of what the new culture will be like in both.

Thank you! I love sheafrotherdon, but I don't think I've read No Light and Transient Cause. :)

What about Written by the Victors (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Victors.html), by Speranza?

I don't know why, but I've never been quite able to get through this one. Everybody raves about it - maybe it's time to give it another try? :)

It's a great story, but I recommend listening to the audio version instead of trying to read it. The different voices and narrators really add to the experience.

Seconded. I did read the whole thing first (before I knew about podfics) but that is definitely one that needs to be listened to. I've probably listened to it over 10 times (ah the perks of being your own boss). =)
