Pre-or-Post-Wednesday

[classics_lover]

Ahoy-hoy my darling minions, it is I, classics-lover, still in charge of hosting this week :) Today's theme is Pre-or-Post Canon. Prompts need to deal with anything that happened either before the book began, or after the show was cancelled. Maybe we'll see about Pepper Potts' first interview or how Chandler and Monica got on when Joey moved to LA.

Just a few

"A dog," Niles said thoughtfully. "Yes, I suppose David should have a dog."

"But not just any dog," Daphne said.

His mouth twitched before Niles said, "No Jack Russell terriers."

"No Italian Greyhounds," Daphne countered.

They stared at each other, at impasse. Daphne eventually broke the silence with, "How do you feel about Corgis?"

"Corgis?" Niles blinked, then smiled. "Well, if they're good enough for the Queen of England, certainly they're good enough for our son!"

This got kind of dark. Also, Character death.

Twinkle Lightly

One.

It was a beautiful thing, Richard thought, that Atlantis had risen and fallen with John Sheppard and Rodney McKay.

Two.

A year had passed since Atlantis had arrived on Earth, long days and equally long nights, until the IOA had finally caved beneath the weight of the expedition members and they headed to San Francisco.

To home.

The air in the city was thick with anticipation and joy; so many people were smiling, John was starting to think they'd pumped laughing gas into the life support system. They all were just so fucking happy, that not even Rodney's scientists dimmed from the onslaught of his demands

Three.

The trip was mostly uneventful. Except for the part where the hyperdrive blew and they were almost dead in the water, but that was kind of how things went for them and anyway, Rodney macgyvered around until they were able to limp back to New Lantea.

(“How many times do I have to mention leaves kissing water? Have you never seen a leaf touching onto water? Because I can draw a goddamn diagram if you need one

Carson had come home a few weeks after after New Athos, taking up station at Jennifer Keller's request as co-CMO, and five months on, he often wondered how Rodney kept John tamed: the slaughter of thousands across Pegasus had broken the man, left him feral and bitter.

“How's he today?” Beckett asked over lunch on a morose Tuesday.

The breeze crept in through the broken Mess hall window, the last gift of the Vanir, leaving Rodney and his team furiously working to fix the structural damage and shattered glass panels within the central tower.

“A little better. I think helping Jinto re-learn to walk is giving him something to focus on that isn't, you know, murder.” Rodney pushed the eggs around the tray. “How's Elizabeth?”

“Remarkably well for a woman who was ascended until ten days ago.”

“She, um, remember anything?”

Carson knew what Rodney really meant was Does she remember anything that can help us? God, how desperate they were for something, anything to help them fight back. He regretfully shook his head, “She barely
