Summary: "Every journey is a series of discoveries about who you have been, who you are now and who you want to be in the future."
When paramedic Tamara Johansen answers a call about a young groom who passed out at the tailor's before his wedding she has no idea she will meet her soulmate later that day. But the man of her dreams comes with more emotional baggage than she can imagine, and when a debilitating injury nearly kills him she finds herself at a crossroads in her own life as well. The journey will be long and difficult as the road to recovery is fraught with peril. And in order to help him with his travels she will go places she's never dared to go before.
Author’s Notes: written for the
journeystory Big!Bang. In the Stargate Universe episode "Cloverdale" (SGU 2-05) Matthew Scott is infected by an alien organism. He hallucinates a different life where his commanding officer Everett Young is his father and First Lieutenant Tamara Johansen is a paramedic who revives him after a fainting spell on his wedding day. The story picks up in the Alternate Universe in Cloverdale immediately after the end of the episode.
This story is dedicated to the special man in my life who also made an incredibly difficult journey from horrible abuse to the point where he wants to help others in the same predicament. You're an inspiration to me every day, and I can't thank you enough.
Thanks to my betas and medical advisors, especially Dr. RS, brainsurgeon, for letting me, well, pick his brain, and Dr. MJP for the stutter/ speech coaching. Many thanks to
kimmy4eytj for her support and to
nickygabriel for organizing this Big!Bang. And most of all, thanks to the wonderful actors of Stargate Universe who have made those characters so real for me.
Disclaimer: I don't own SGU. I wouldn't know what to do with it. Now, Young... Young I'd know what to do with...
Thanks for reading! Feedback = Love.
