( Snipped for Primeval spoilers )

Nikola was in love... with Victorian London; the sights, the smells, the sounds, the fashion and of course more importantly it was the glorious dawning of a second industrial age led by the scientific genius mind of, you guessed it, Nikola Tesla. And a few others of course but mostly Tesla. Definitely not Edison. And in Victorian London? Nikola ( Read more... )

Every year, between Guy Fawkes Night and Thanksgiving, there was a holiday that everyone on the island could celebrate despite their cultural background. Tabula Rasa Day might not get the same fanfare as the other two red letter days, but it was well-enjoyed nonetheless because it commemorated the establishment of the community, a new home and a ( Read more... )

There were times when Jack thought the island wasn't such a bad place to live. Plenty of beaches, plenty of sun, lots of fishing: these were the things he'd been after for years and had never really gotten since the good old US Air Force seemed to think he wasn't replaceable. And while that felt good, being important, it didn't change the fact ( Read more... )

Freddie was not an animal person. He knew there were plenty of people around the island who had cats and dogs and birds and all kinds of things that made noise and smelled and he'd never planned on being one of those people. He'd never wanted to be one of those people, but he didn't have a choice when Maureen disappeared. She'd left an animal ( Read more... )

While he hated the circumstances, Jonas had been more then eager to take on Daniel's classes at the school, as he did have experience following up on Dr. Jackson's work after all.

Once Bill had discovered people had woken up with powers they'd not had yesterday, he'd not been able to help the surge of excitement as he dug out his wand - it had been so long, he'd long since stopped carrying it. When it proved to still be in effect a rather useless, albeit nice-looking, piece of wood, he'd shoved it back in its place in ( Read more... )

It had happened again. Or at least Ianto assumed as he headed toward the Hub around noon that Friday. There was a general buzz about the place, the frantic flurry of people trying to figure out just how buggered they were by the island this time. It was a nervous tension, then added upon by glee or misery as islanders decided what to do with ( Read more... )

To be honest with himself, Jonas supposed he should be lucky that it had taken this long for people close to him to disappear from the island. Sure, he'd had friends go, like Eli, but never people who he felt close to, that he knew from home. Granted, he'd hardly known Daniel back on Earth and Vala had come to the SGC after him but still. He'd ( Read more... )
