Pegasus Literature 101 is amazing. I don't think I've read a more interesting story in a long time.
The original, which I read just before I read Pegasus Literature 101, is very good -- if I hadn't read Pegasus Literature 101 immediately after, I would have been perfectly content and amazed by the original. But PL 101 (that's way that I always ended up abbreviating my undergrad classes) -- it's what a vast number of stories in many fandoms want to be. It tackles politics, and culture, and relationships within the team and across Atlantis -- I'd love for you to read it in (name of community which I have rather embarrassingly forgotten).
The two stories work together in a very interesting way for a meta fan, but not so much qua themselves (in my opinion). I'd say more, but I'd rather hear your reactions uncolored by my own.
