fic rec [SGA]: The Hard Prayer by rheanna27

The Hard Prayer by rheanna27
McShep; PG-13, AU, apocafic, 30,500 words
Summary: A year after the end of the world, John meets another survivor.

I don't even know how to describe this fic without bursting into superlatives. Rheanna paints a post-apocalyptic landscape so bleak and real... you can't help but get pulled in. The plot is great, the prose clear and evocative. And her characterization of John and Rodney is amazing... both damaged, traumatized, after a year of solitude. And if this scenario sounds depressing - this story is really not! It is the right balance of darker and lighter moments, and just a really gripping read.

(Just posting about this story, I want to grab it and re-read parts. Alas, the roommate has it right now...)
