emonyYes, I too spent yesterday reading ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cesperanza's SGA fic Written by the Victors, and I too think it is the most awesome thing since awesome was invented.
SGA, 55,000 words, a few different pairings appear but it's mostly McShep.
My summary? The IOA remembers that Atlantis is a flying city and can be brought back to Earth - Sheppard says "no".
It's all kinds of awesome, told, in part, through academic-style political history book and journal article quotes, which is the most awesome thing ever. The relationships are pretty much secondary to the process of organising a new society in Atlantis, and although there are some things I'd quite like fleshed out, the relatively bare structure works very, very well.
My only quibble is about kitchens. Why, when people in fic move into their new, bigger, domestic quarters - which, for some reason, they hadn't noticed before, so had been living in tiny closet-sized rooms - why must they always have their own kitchens? They have a mess hall for large-scale social eating. I know we're probably all scarred by the experience of having eating in school cafeterias in our youth, but really, having your own kitchen doesn't necessarily = omg serious grown-up relationship! It is possible to live with someone without cooking them meals.
That's really not about this fic though. This fic is awesome, kitchen or no ;)
