Forget Me Not, by maisierita. Slash, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay. (ca. 47,000 words)
If you're like me and have a soft spot for amnesia stories, you should definitely check this one out. But even if you don't have an amnesia kink, this is still a great story. The mystery of how they ended up like this in the first place had me hooked from the start, there's angst and some h/c without it being overwrought, and while the Pegasus culture doesn't take center stage in that we find out everything about it, that is simply because we see it from Rodney's restricted perspective, so while it is central to the whole set up and works as a plot device for the John/Rodney story, it feels real and not like they are merely some contrived wacky aliens just there for one purpose.
