This is wonderful! I've very rarely seen gen genderswitch fic, and I love the way that this story addresses the differences in how they relate to the world, and how their experiences (Sheppard in Afganistan, McKay during the Storm) have affected them differently from the Sheppard and McKay in our universe due to their gender -- but without making a big deal or making me feel like the story is hitting me over the head with a cluebat about Gender Oppression OMG!!! It's just very subtle and well-done. And I love the way that the friendship comes through so clearly, with the same prickliness and yet a slightly different feel because of the different genders. (Love Sheppard ruffling McKay's shorter hair at the end. That is so ... them. Yet with a female twist.)
