Why this must be read: This story is a brilliant exploration of the way in which evil usually wears an all-too-human face; one that it isn't easy to dismiss as something we'd never do ourselves. It's about the effective and terrible ways in which the Wraith go about making humans their unwilling allies, and Domenika has done an incredible job of making this topic accessible, creating a wonderful original character, and slowly revealing the ethical dilemma at the heart of her story. Reading this made me ache with getting it in a way no empty political rhetoric ever could. What a great read!

Oh! On a day when nothing was going well... Thank you for the rec. When I did my year-in-fic review, I pegged this as the story I was most proud of, so I'm very glad to see it get recognized.

It's my pleasure. M,F & P is such a great story. You should be really proud of it (not that you need my endorsement :)

Thank you for all the great fic you give this fandom. I don't comment enough--there never seems to be time--but I always read and enjoy your work.
