Why This Must Be Read: Coming Back Home is one of my favorite feel-good stories for Stargate Atlantis or SG-1. It's utterly charming, warm and engrossing. This story has something for everyone, balancing tense emotional drama with delightfully light comedy. At its heart, this wonderful story by a talented first-time author is a study of the relationships on Atlantis and in the SGC, not just romantic but those of friends, coworkers, parent and child and superior to subordinate. The exquisitely written narrative focuses primarily on is the 'will they or won't they?' relationships of Laura Cadman and Evan Lorne and Sam Carter and Jack O'Neill. Here as in canon, the bonds of marriage, partnership and friendship are a source of strength, comfort, guidance and joy, and the author wisely allows the dramatic conflict to arise naturally from how these relationships overlap, intersect and change. The list of pairings seems enormous yet each utterly believable couple receives enough attention to make their fans happy and convey palpable chemistry.
Coming Back Home won a 2008 Isis Award in a tough category so though I am biased as its beta, I think I can safely guarantee you'll love it too.
