Bein' Thinky

Don't ask me why but yesterday I was racking my brain for what I considered to be the most emotionally powerful, kick-in-the-gut Sheppard centric story out there. I won't tell you what I came up with since I don't want anyone feeling cruddy that their story didn't make the list. But it got me thinking about what, for me, helps to create a kick-in-the-gut story that really sticks with you (mind you, I was thinking more along the lines of novel-length stories, not one-shots).
