"And My Kingdom Bounded by Stones," Sheppard, "When I ruled the world," PG skieswideopen July 13 2008, 07:28:28 UTC

"When I ruled the world..." began John. He stopped as a bout of coughing wracked his body.

"Hush, Dad," said Beth gently, adjusting his pillows. "You need to rest."

"Things were different," insisted John. "When I was in charge...."

"I know, Dad, I know. I'll get you some tea, okay?" She went to the door and rang for a servant. John looked at the two small children who sat beside his bed, looking back at him with identical solemn gazes.

"When I ruled the world,” he said again, “we fought the Wraith; we didn't hide from them. We went between planets and traded with others, and when the Wraith came, we sent up waves of drones until the sky was lit with the explosions of their ships."

"Papa says that’s a foolish risk," said the older girl. "Too many people die when we fight. Now that we’ve destroyed all the Wraith who know where we are, we should stay quiet so that no one else finds out we’re here.”

"Hiding," said John bitterly, "and letting other people fight for us." He began coughing again.

This is a little over the comment ( ... )

"Psyche's Candle", Emmagan/Sheppard, candlelight, PG-13, tielan July 13 2008, 12:14:50 UTC

There was surely a moment when Psyche held the candle over her husband, looking down into the face of the man she loved, and thought to blow it out. Before tenderness overcame caution, before the wax dripped, before love was denied, surely there was a moment.

It's not candlelight. Teyla's not his wife. But there's a moment all the same.

The sun is setting over the sea, descending into dark flame and dragging daylight with it. In the rec room lounge, everything is shadows, but for the last gleaming tints along the topmost curves of the couches, their lined cushions, and the Colonel who sprawls among them.

Teyla pauses at the end of the couch, her feet bare after sparring, her gaze soft on the man below.

In sleep, John's face is relaxed, easy, without conscious guardedness. A complex man - both open and easy, but with his deeper emotions closed.

Only occasionally do those emotions push through.

His mouth moves on hers, hard and hungering, and an ache opens up in her belly, but there is a splinter in her mind - in his! - and Teyla ( ... )

Oh, I love the first two lines! All the language is beautiful here. This is a lovely story.

Re: "Psyche's Candle", Emmagan/Sheppard, candlelight, PG-13, tielan July 22 2008, 12:34:27 UTC

Thank you! I've had those opening lines lying around for weeks now. I'm glad they came in handy!

Re: "Psyche's Candle", Emmagan/Sheppard, candlelight, PG-13, renisanz July 13 2008, 17:15:15 UTC

Very nice. I love the lyrical quality of the words, and how you described all the significant moments between them in the past.

Heavy... romantic... impassioned... profound....

Excellent.

Although the part where she walks away to leave love lying where he sleeps... NNNNNGH!!

*chuckles* Very nice, T. -- J.

"Enthusiasm Can Get You Killed," Sheppard, "When I ruled the world," PG skieswideopen July 13 2008, 20:09:57 UTC

A more cheerful variant on the prompt used in "And My Kingdom Bounded by Stones"--the other side of the ATA gene coin, if you will. Or one of the other sides ( ... )
