Why this must be read: The summary is "Five gods John Sheppard never worshipped." This lushy written "five things" fic loops from horror (blood on the ground) to light humor (McKay didn't trip) and then back. Each section, unrelated to the section before, describes a new kind of god, with oblique references to events that aren't fully explained but that have brought about an end. Behind each section is the implication that things have been happening, that events are out of human control. This fic stands out because of its sensuous wordplay: cold hands, the taste of juice, bright, hungry eyes, all of it about, as Sheppard says, mocking McKay, "the end of the world as we know it," and the gods, or chance, that make it so.
