Whispers of the Gods

TITLE: Whispers of the Gods
AUTHOR: isabeau
RATING/PAIRING: PG/gen
SUMMARY: AU for FiaD; Sha're isn't used to the silence.
NOTES: This was written for the gateverse_remix challenge. Based on Scotoma by rydra_wong, which is a much better story. I wanted a title that was essentially the linguistic equivalence of a blind spot, but couldn't find one, so I did the next best thing ( Read more... )

Oh, wow.

This is fabulous. So much good stuff here, and I need to reread it again when I'm properly caffeinated, but I especially love the way you've shifted everything into sound/silence imagery, and I love your Teal'c, and - wow, this whole angle I hadn't even considered.

I'm thrilled and fascinated by what you've done.

This is beautiful! A lovely companion to Rydra Wong's amazing fic.

I hope you won't mind that I snuck in a rec to it while I was reccing Scotoma today. :)

If that was directed at me - of course I don't mind. Extra recc-age! Two for the price of one! *g*

Actually addressed to isabeau; I replied to your comment accidently. But hey, as you say, two for the price of one! I get to compliment you both. :)

Really great look into the possibility.

What a lovely sensory description of Sha're. I love that she flounders and turns to Teal'c because he is familiar and can speak her language, even if they do not always communicated well and he begins ultimately to strengthen Ammonet's voice in her head.

Love the sound and silence contrasts, and Sam's paper and Teal'c's candles and the wormhole's cold and Abydos's heat. Love the lingering information Sha're doesn't always share, like Sam using Apophis' symbol and not Ammonet's. She's such a smart woman; I love to see glimpses of that.

Lovely remix, nice work!

Nice remix! I love your working of Sha're's thoughts and trying to express herself to Daniel's friends, while still not used to being able to express herself. Very cool.

This is--well, it's--perfect? Gorgeous? Such an interesting character to work with, and I don't think I know the original fic, but...I'm going to go read it really quick so I can...just...hang...on...

Oh, wow. It’s even better as part of a whole. Oh, man. Why couldn’t this have been canon? I *like* this Sha’re, this Sam.

And the bits with Teal'c are amazing.
