Why This Must Be Read: I disliked Unending for many, many reasons. This wonderful story is an excellent episode fix for one of the most egregious flaws: the blink-and-you-miss-it reaction to the loss of an entire race.

When news of the Asgard's fate reaches Atlantis, Caldwell reaches out to Hermiod. What follows is a tribute to the Asgard, a nod to Cimmeria, the meaning of friendship and camaraderie, and a much more satisfying sendoff than anything in the show.

Thor and the Asgard deserved better, and this lovely fic gives it to them!


How do you hold a funeral for an entire race?

Thank you for this rec, it provides severely past due closure. It's been 14 years since I watched "Unending" (and the only time I've watched it) and the mention of it still makes me want to dig out my old jump boots and go shove my foot so far up the collective asses of the writers of that travesty that they'd be able to spit shine the toes with their tongues.

Oh, don't be shy. Tell us how you really feel. :D

I couldn't stand the episode either so I really enjoyed this fixit!

Don't worry, I usually do as I've never cared for ambiguity and minced words. :)

Pardon the edit, I hit the wrong reply button the first time around. :-p
