Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Summary: With Atlantis on Earth, Jennifer Keller contemplates her personal and professional choices as life conspires to force her to make decisions on both fronts. 
Rating: PG-13
Author's Notes: Written for Women of the Gate community to thank everyone for their continuing support.  I really wanted to write a story looking at Jennifer's life choices following Enemy at the Gate from her POV as a twenty-something woman in a professional position of responsibility and embarking on a romantic relationship.  Thanks to Sky for the beta.

Pairing is McKeller.  I'm going to say upfront that personally, I'm neither very pro or very anti McKeller. I liked the ship as it was depicted in The Last Man, was somewhat supportive of it through S5 when it first aired, but having rewatched recently, I admit that the way it was written in S5 leaves me with the impression of a flawed relationship - not that these flaws couldn't be overcome but definitely that there were things that would need to be dealt with to make the relationship lasting believable.  Hence, if you only read unambiguous happy-ending/fluffy-McKeller, this story may not be your cup of tea as it is definitely angsty.  Other pairings mentioned: Teyla/Kanaan, Ronon/Amelia, brief past Ronon/Keller.
