For ten thousand years the city slept beneath the sea, dreaming of people that hadn't been born. Faces, names, lives all carefully teased from a mind in stasis, oblivious to her interrogation. Because Atlantis can wait, but she wants to know who she's waiting for.

This is the story of the city that might have been. An AI created to guide the Atlantis Expedition Janus knew was coming. An electronic symbiote limited by the harsh lessons learned from the Asurans. A powerful ally, hidden safely away and waiting...

'Verse Notes: This AU is canon until The Siege (season 1), at which point the timeline splits. In this 'verse the Daedelus was not sent to Atlantis because the war at home has taken a turn for the worse and they cannot spare the firepower. And, as above, when Elizabeth went back in time Janus decided that they would need more help than just a ZPM.

This is a Dark AU created for sga_flashfic's Dark Side challenge, and thus tends towards the less fluffy end of the plotbunny spectrum. However, this is not a 'rocks fall, everyone dies' AU either, there are happy moments to balance out the bad. Fics are listed in AU timeline order within the overall outline, and fics written around/between/through the canon episodes are so noted.
