Why this must be read:

Apocalypse! Yay. It's John and Elizabeth after Atlantis has fallen, with nothing much left but each other, and they're both lost and searching, but the story is still, strangely, more comforting than depressing. Lovely use of shifting timelines, and of John's cool narration to promise us a happy ending, or something like it. Even if neither of them quite know how to get there.

They watch the tower crack in half, the control room, her office -- hell, half the goddamned gate room -- shearing away. He sees sky through the flames, sees the ocean. Something hits the 'jumper hard enough for it to shudder, and he slams them into reverse, into the wormhole behind them before the vibrations can fully fade. He wants to close his eyes and make this nightmare go away.

He can't, and their last glimpse of home is of Atlantis falling, ash and cinders floating about her like snow.
