Fandom: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Pairing: None; Gen
Rating: Teen
Length: Short
Author on LJ: indiefic
Author Website: None known, except for the author's LJ
Why this must be read:
Author's Summary: Of all the painful lessons Sarah struggled to teach her son, the ones she hadn’t intended him to learn were the ones that burned the most.
Like my last rec, this one focuses on the relationship between Sarah and John. Even more than that though, this is a story that focuses on Sarah. It shows us how she became the woman who would raise the John Connor.
And it hurts like hell.
It was a Tuesday. She was sitting in a booth at Denny’s trying not to notice the duct tape on the vinyl seat and the sticky dribbles of pancake syrup clinging to the tabletop. It wasn’t time for an epiphany and yet, it happened. Somewhere between juggling parent teacher conferences and target practice, Sarah came to the realization that for her beliefs to be vindicated (for her to be vindicated), the world had to end.
