Actually there are two stories I'm searching for with some similarities.
In the FIRST there is some sort of accident with the gate as Rodney and John are returning to Atlantis. While from their POV they arrive on Atlantis - it is an 'empty' Atlantis with no evidence of the expedition ever getting there. I think they were in an alternate reality and whether they had time jumped or that their reality was simply farther along in time than the one they found themselves in - that I'm not certain about.
John and Rodney do trading and gathering from planets they recall from their own world. They do manage some sort of communication with their own Atlantis with Zelenka working to get them home. They also leave messages for the expedition giving them advice on where to go and who to trust, etc.
I believe in the end they do manage to go back to their own reality. With Radek's helping Rodney's efforts.
&*&*&
The SECOND story John, Rodney and Elizabeth are stranded on a much earlier Atlantis. At first I think they were working fairly well together but as time went on Elizabeth seemed to get more and more unstable. I believe that the three of them had to go into stasis periodically in order for them to get back to their 'own' timeline. After one of the stasis periods Rodney wakes to find John is missing and Elizabeth died in her capsule.
I don't recall much more than that unfortunately.
&*&*&
Do either of these stories sound familiar to anyone? Or am I mashing multiple stories together? Any help - hints - pointers would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.
