I really hope someone can point me to this fic because it's been driving me crazy trying to find it for a week. I don't remember how it starts, but Rodney ends up stuck on a planet with a group of young children. I think the children were the only survivors of a Wraith culling - their families hid them away and then the adults were all culled? - and also Rodney may be injured (I seem to remember the children taking care of Rodney at one point).
At one point, Rodney has organized the kids for specific tasks - I can't remember if it's to set traps for the Wraith, to get food, or to build/repair something to try to get off the planet and back to Atlantis, or what. It may or may not be McShep, I think it was medium to long in length, and I don't remember how it ends, but I'm really, really hoping someone knows the fic I'm talking about and can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
