changes

I am looking for fic that shows how every one on Atlantis has been changed by what has happened to them. Good or bad. Thank you.

My Under His Skin (http://www.enolasrealm.com/underhisskin.htm) and its sequal Ultimate Mission (http://www.enolasrealm.com/ultimatemission.htm) show the lengths they'll go to to get home after "Enemy at the Gate" -- and how deeply Woolsey has been changed by living on Atlantis.

I love this one. Beautiful characterization of the Lanteans, individually and as a whole, and how Earth people see them.

Good request; I <3 this sort of story.

Eleven Moments (http://ladyflowdi.livejournal.com/385321.html) by ladyflowdi is from Sam's POV; and she spends quite a bit of time pondering the changes in the 'Lanteans, especially Rodney.

Another rather Rodney-centric one is sardonicsmiley's all the things rodney never was (http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/36940.html), in which disaster befalls Atlantis, the SGC, and Earth, in the form of a new enemy. Rodney is all that's left of the original power structure - so he must do Elizabeth's job, and John's, and Carson's, and Teyla's, and Ronon's, and his own... A study in how Rodney must change, and how the roles of the rest of the 'Lanteans form around his.

In The Complexity of Daily Life (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=12481&warning=12), John and his team must make a life for themselves on an alien planet. Pegasus *forces* the Team to change when disaster strikes; John refuses.

Colorado Springs (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/colorado.htm), by Martha Wilson, is probably one of the better matches for your query: "Offworld, John thought. They were offworld, and there were strangers everywhere with guns.... The third time Elizabeth took him by the elbow and moved him out of her way, he realized he had been unconsciously herding her, trying to keep her between himself and O'Neill, out of arm's reach of the people he didn't know." The Trio returns to earth. Seriously surreal, and with a complex humor that is still the laugh-out-loud kind.

Finally, there's aesc's I'm a Stranger Here Myself (http://aesc.livejournal.com/252677.html), which is more about Sheppard and McKay being terribly homesick for Atlantis while earthside than anything else; but it does also show how Atlantis has possibly spoiled them for earth life. It's the second in a series; the first is Late Feet (http://aesc.livejournal.com/252623.html), which is a lovely story as well but likely less pertinent.

Have fun!
