Long break from Earth

[ellie567b.livejournal.com]

What if the Daedalus hadn't shown up at the end of season 1?  Or if it took the Atlantis expedition years to find a ZPM and dial Earth?  What would they do?  How would they cope?  Who would they form alliances with?

I'm looking for stories where there is a break between the expedition leaving, and contact with Earth being re-established.  I'd like them to contact Earth eventually, but for a long period of time to have passed.

Any suggestions?  (Please help me procrastinate about the housework by reading fic!)

I have a thematic list for Atlantis being on its own, and the first section is for them being involuntary cut off. Admittedly that also lists apocafic with earth gone, but it's usually obvious from the summary:
