SGA fic: After

Feb 10, 2006 23:09

Title: After
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: None, unless you want it to be McShep pre-slash, in which case, go for it. It can be read as McShep friendship, too.
Warning: Okay, now's the time for my little rant against warnings. I dislike them when I think they will give away a plot point that is sort of critical to the story. But I know there are ( Read more... )

Holy shit, that was tense. Wow.

That was awesome.

Cool. Just the reaction I wanted!

Thanks.

I like it. I liked that Rodney didn't read the letter, and the feeling of urgency as he was telling everyone to hurry up, his mental count-up of time. I also liked the acknowledgement that Stackhouse and Lorne would have tried to bring back Sheppard's body without being told.

Thanks! The Stackhouse and Lorne bit was kind of a last minute add-in. Glad it worked. :)

Intense. Wonderfully written.

Thanks, whoever you are! :)

Very, very cool. I love how it's not easy, how his being alive isn't the happy, happy ending.

>Sheppard has abandonment issues. "Abandonment issues", a phrase that's pure squishy psychobabble, but it's Sheppard's squishy psychobabble, and although he was drunk at the time, he was also one hundred percent serious. Psychobabble or not, Rodney has never doubted for a second that it's also the truth, because it's painfully obvious that it is true, the way Sheppard's so fanatical and neurotic about never leaving anyone behind, never giving up on anyone, ever, not even Ford, and that kind of fixation is more than what the military drums into its officers. Because even the American military knows that sometimes you have to cut and run, but Sheppard doesn't seem to.<

Very insightful.

Thanks! I've been feeling the "abandonment issues" needed to be dealt with, and it was sooo easy to stick it in here. :)

Oh, man. Break my heart. Shep alone, cold, thirsty, hurt, abandoned... You've captured the horror, and Rodney's horror, on a wonderful, human level.

That was the image that started the whole thing ... Shep alone and cold and hurt and thirsty. I was a little surprised at how the story turned out, considering where it started. :)
