Description:

I was watching Atlantis one day, with a couple of friends, and we started talking about something I’d noticed since my first Atlantis-viewing experience. I know the people on this show. Every single character has a parallel somewhere in my life.

So I thought, since I know all these people, why don’t I write their stories? Why don’t I take what I know, and figure out where all the Atlantis characters came from, how they ended up as members of the expedition? And lo, First Times was born. They’re in no particular order, because I wrote them kind of randomly during a very boring series of lectures. Where possible and relevant, I have made every effort to make these culturally accurate to the character’s home country. I’ve also given certain characters first or last names as needed.

I have also tried to address some of the issues which appeared on the show that I found problematic, in the context of each character.

Notes:

This series uses an AU version of "Sunday" and then stops, because I didn't want to actually write an AU. Thus, episodes which aired after Sunday will not be taken into account.
