More drabbles!
Have some drabbles. Because it's easier to beat my brain into submission long enough to write a drabble than anything longer. And because in_the_blue put up more drabble prompts.
Feedback is always appreciated. Y'all were great with my last drabbles!
As usual, I don't own any of it. It's all owned by MGM, Brad Wright, and Robert C. Cooper. No disrespect intended, no profit being made, etc.
Title: Surprises
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Prompt: Those words weren't exactly expected.
Pairings: Sheppard/Nancy
Characters: Nancy and John Sheppard.
Rating: General.
Surprises
He's always had the ability to leave her speechless. He's full of jokes and laughter and sometimes it seems like he can't take anything seriously. But then he'll turn around and invite her for a romantic dinner where everything's just perfect and the rest of the world seems far, far away.
Her friends warned her. She knows she'll never come first, that the sky will always be his greatest love. But then he takes her hands and looks into her eyes and stammers his way through words she never thought she'd hear. And the answer's always going to be yes.
Title: Not Forgotten
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Prompt: Gone but not forgotten.
Pairings: None
Characters: John Sheppard
Rating: General.
Note: Contains spoilers through This Mortal Coil.
Not Forgotten
He never sent her things home. They packed up her office, but they left her quarters alone. He never let himself deal with the grief. What was the point when he was convinced she'd be back? He wouldn't let himself give up on her.
Now she's just one more person he couldn't protect. One more failure he has to live with.
He'll never convince himself obeying her order to leave her behind was the right decision. She deserved more from him. He closes his eyes, alone in the stillness, and whispers the words he never let himself say.
"Goodbye, Elizabeth."
