Stargate Atlantis - 1 Rec
DADT, Damyata, Dayadhvam by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trinityofone - McKay/Sheppard - Rated R - This story was physically painful for me to read, in a way that mere horror or violence never is. It's an AU Atlantis with a chilling SFnal premise worthy of George Orwell or Ray Bradbury. The matter of fact way in which trinityofone maps out the consequences of her new, darker "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy makes me ache for the characters and wish desperately that I had a girl handy to kiss. What makes the story work so well is how small a change it really is, a reminder of exactly who it is that DADT hurts. I love trinityofone's writing because she doesn't flinch away from the painful truth, but she transcends it, offering an ending that is not just hopeful but truly triumphant and completely worthy of the pain that went before.
