Author: Joolz

Category: Gen, Crossover, Drama, H/C

Pairing: None

Word count: 26,000

Rating: R for some violence and brief nudity

Season/Spoilers: SGA – 2nd-ish, no spoilers / Numb3rs – 2nd-ish, no spoilers

Notes: This is not my usual angst fest (well, there is a little bit). It’s more an enjoyment of some lovely characters and buddy-fic. I want the whole Numb3rs cast to move to Atlantis. There’s just a touch of SG-1 in there as well. Many thanks to valiant betas Lady Ra and Jenn. I take full blame for the final product.

Summary: Stargate Atlantis / Numb3rs crossover. In the Pegasus Galaxy they’ve found a puzzle that only one man can solve. The Eppes brothers go traveling.

Disclaimer: Not my lovely characters, just playing with them.

Warnings: None in particular, past the rating

Wow, what a great fic! I've only see a couple of bits and pieces of Numb3rs, not even a whole episode, but you fleshed out the characters so well I didn't have to know anything about them.

I loved the scene where Rodney confesses to John that he gets lonely not being able to talk to someone on his level. Even with all the intelligent people around him, they still can't keep up. No wonder Rodney yells at them, he must be so frustrated when people can't see what he sees. And just imagine how lonely he must have felt as a child, when he probably wasn't ever in his own peer group.

Lovely scene with John and Don talking about "their" geeks. John explaining the reason for his friendship with Rodney and the family they made for themselves on Atlantis. Nice!

The scene with Ronon and Don was wonderful. Ronon actually saying more than a sentence! And showing the intense loyalty we've seen on the show.

Showing John's "dark side" when he saw what happened to the people he's sworn to protect, that was great, too.

I think I'll stop now, or I'm going to cite every scene you wrote!

Seems this crossover was meant to be, doesn't it? Charlie the math genius and Don already in service to his country as an FBI agent.

There are so few long gen fics out there compared to the slash ones. I like the slash as well as anyone else (and if you go that way in future installments I wouldn't object 8-) ), but a good gen fic is a lovely thing to behold.

Thanks for sharing.

What nice feedback! It's great to hear what worked for you in the story. I'm glad you enjoyed it even without knowing Don and Charlie well beforehand. That's a sign of success!
