Rec-a-weekend 2015 | Week 14
Title: Escapism
Author: Pepper
Fandom: Terminator
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Connor/Kyle Reese
Summary: Sarah takes Kyle to a movie theater.
Wordcount: ca. 2.300
Why it's awesome: There aren't a lot of fics around for the original Terminator movie, and even fewer that aren't horribly depressing. While I don't mind being horribly depressed by fanfic three days out of four, it's nice to find something cute and fluffy every now and again. This is one of those fics. Kyle doesn't die and things are generally a lot happier than canon. At the same time the fic acknowledges that even if Kyle had made it, things wouldn't have been easy, on a general day-to-day base, considering where he comes from and the fact that his history is about 90 % war-related trauma. I love Sarah in this fic, who comes to accept that all the nice, fun things she'd planned to do with him in that one deleted scene are just not going to happen and just takes it in stride, never tries to force anything and just helps where she can, enjoying her little victories if she scores one.
Contains hot dogs.
