SG-A: Fanfic: Whispers

  • Mar. 28th, 2012 at 6:07 PM
Title: Whispers
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Rating: G
Length: ~ 250 words
Content notes: Pre-Lorne/Cadman. Um Atlantis/Sheppard? *ducks* I caught two separate episodes of SGA, and suddenly this seemed like a good idea? AU, because I don't know the canon very well, but it feels right. I started writing with prompt #1, but I think I've gone a bit far afield ...
Summary: They should know better, but they trust her.

She whispers in the back of her mind. The briefings never told her about the voice, but she walks through the city in the dusk anyway, recklessly following the summons.

She knows better than this, she thinks, but the city keeps offering her bait she can't resist. For a zoomie, he looks good. Too good. He's the base's executive officer, there are regulations, but she doesn't really care anymore.

The city has been showing him to her. And she's almost as addicted to those glimpses as she is to the smell of C4.




He's tried to sweet talk Atlantis into doing things when the Colonel has been indisposed, but this is far more than she ever offered him before - and he should report himself to the infirmary - or someone who can get him court-martialled - because he's walking the corridors of Atlantis in the dark, to watch a Marine lieutenant.

She's beautiful and he can't have her.

He drifts through the open doorway that Atlantis been coaxing him towards for the last hour and he's looking through a window that doesn't exist, and he wants to paint her so badly.

He can't.




He can hear her laughter in the back of his head and he's striding through the corridors without thought. He's sinking into the chair and she's welcoming him home and talking about gifts and he's smiling that lazy smile as he surrenders himself to her.

There's nothing that they can offer him that would be better than this

He tries to scold her when he realises what she's been up to, but he can't stay angry at her for long. He'll help her because he agrees. This is where he belongs, and the others do to. It won't stop him teasing them though, but they're his now and neither the Wraith or the IOA will take them away.

Thank you.

I need to rewatch the show properly before I indulge in writing them anymore, because otherwise it'll be too easy to use the fanon versions. I have a piece of smut hidden away for Lorne/Cadman, but I need to check whether the Atlantis crew use thigh holsters and what the layout of their Armoury is.

(And Atlantis/Sheppard smut is really tempting)

Yes, they do (trust me, I know. I just can't help staring at Lorne's whenever I see it in an ep...). OMG, is this going to be thigh holster kink? Yes? Please?

It's armoury smut with adrenaline and thigh holsters, yes ... there's about twelve hundred words or so of it at the minute and it keeps gaining little bits. Next trickiest bit is I watched most of the show in my third language and I'm double translating things.

*inappropriately loud sounds of squeeing YAAAY!

Wow, I'm impressed. English isn't my first language, either but that's it. Two languages, though... wow!

I'm trying to pick my excuses for the smut happening. Established relationship or something affecting their inhibitions enough to get Evan's guard down *g*

English is my first language with Persian as my second, German my third and Arabic my fourth. One of my tutors for persian allowed me to get into bad habits. I wasn't allowed to use english with him but he would permit german and arabic and we bounced back and forth between the three - it turned into a bit of a game and I still do it.

If I could make a wish, I'd say established relationship. I have a soft spot for those and I don't even need a courtship fic first. I know they're meant for each other, anyway ;)

Sounds... complicated. And, since I'm a language geek myself, pretty cool :D

I have a tendency to start writing a pairing with the courtship and after that I get to the smut and slice-of-life stuff *g*

I just need to avoid Laura starting to sound like one of the original characters I write sometimes. Who is also a red-haired explosives obsessed officer :D

It can be, but I paid dearly for the fluency I have and it lets me retain it and keeps my mind active while I recover and it'll be useful when and if I can work again.

I thought I reviewed this somewhere else before but I guess I didn't. Anyway.

This is awesome. Those glimpses and Atlantis playing matchmaker and awwwwww! I especially love this line:

he's looking through a window that doesn't exist, and he wants to paint her so badly

It's just... so... Lorne :D

I'm a sucker for matchmaking *g*

And the line you picked out is probably my favourite. Evan's section didn't want to cooperate at first and was coming off just a little too generic and then that popped up and it was him.

The glimpses is the easiest style of fan fiction writing for me - the one I normally start with when i venture into a new fandom and I'm trying to work whether I've got a decent grasp on the characters or not.

There should be more Lorne/Cadman matchmaking stories, especially :D

I honestly hope we're getting more glimpses from you in the future. I kind of miss new SGA fic :(

It's sad when a fandom starts to go quiet :( or when suddenly you're the only writer for a particular fandom or pairing.
