Why this must be read: Jack is caught in a mutant tornado, which makes him rapidly deteriorate. The only solution Global Dynamics can suggest is to put him in a cryogenic freeze until an antidote is found. A cure is eventually discovered--forty-seven years later. Jack, however, isn't the only one to find himself unexpectedly in the future: Nathan rematerialized five years earlier.

I like the parallels between Jack and Nathan in this fanfic. I think clarkoholic has created the rare situation where Jack/Nathan is actually possible, since they are literally the only ones who can understand what the other is going through and empathize with each other. This story has a bittersweet tone, with just the right amount of hope at the end.

I'm usually not fond of fics where Jack and Nathan immediately fall into bed

You may want to clarify this, as in this fic, Jack/Nathan was an established, long term relationship before Nathan vanished, not a first time fic.

Oh thank you for pointing this out! I should have said something but didn't.

Thank you for the rec, gwynevere1!! serene_quill is correct, though. It's established relationship.... it's even listed in my categories for the story.

I've re-phrased the entry. I hope it's clearer, now.
