Author/ Artist: Shenandoah Risu
Rating: Teen
Content Flags: sentient ship, nudity
Characters: Everett Young, Destiny, Tamara Johansen, other characters
Word Count: 11,300
Excerpt: "Meet me in St. Louis, Louis, meet me at the fair...".
Author's Notes: Written for the journeystory multi-fandom Big!Bang 2012/ 2013
In the Stargate Universe episode "Gauntlet" (SGU 2-20) Eli Wallace convinces Everett Young that it should be him who remains out of the cryo pods. What if Young had stuck to his original plan?
Guiding the characters on a dangerous journey prompted by some fundamental questions of life and reasons to live, the inclusion of the ancient zen koans was a revelation in itself, as I wrote this story, and one ofter the other, the zen koans fell into place.
This story is dedicated to all those who miss Destiny and wanted to know more about her. It is part of the Sentient Ship series . The stories "Odi et Amo" and " True Purpose" are prequels to this one but it can be read independently.
Thanks to my betas, and to nickygabriel for organizing this Big!Bang. And most of all, thanks to the wonderful actors and talented writers of Stargate Universe who have made those characters so real for me. The companion artwork is at the end of the story and here.
Disclaimer: I don't own SGU. I wouldn't know what to do with it. Now, Young... Young I'd know what to do with. ;-)
Thanks for reading! Feedback = Love. ;-)
oOo
Meet me in St. Louis
