SGA fic rec

I didn’t sleep at all last night because my five-year-old kept screaming in his sleep and I still have a covid cough at night left over.  So I rubbed his back and stayed by his side while I read fic. I found one that was pretty much exactly what I wanted to find: Rodney facing all the deaths from season four, forced to see the people dead from the replicators and then made to believe it was all his fault and the universe would be better without him. Now, we all know this isn’t true so such a fic only works if it has good motivation, proper comfort, and a happy ending. This fic managed it all and wrapped it into a reverse Christmas Carol/ reverse It’s A Wonderful Life where the ghosts are malevolent and are essentially attacking McKay psychologically. It was so good and just the right amount of pain/comfort ratio.

Obvious trigger warning here for suicidal thoughts/attempt but with a happy ending and proper character motivation built in.

It’s a mcshep fic.
