This was awesome. Loved the tone, and this story seemed so genuine to SGA.

“Captain Vega ended up covered in this sauce…”

“… Ed saved the little girl when she choked on…”

“Jennifer liked escargot, if you can believe it…”

“… Weir practically tackled Sheppard after Caldwell beamed him down from the Daedalus. You think they were…”

It was that last conversation that made Evan grimace. He took the next opportunity he had to slip away from the crowd, seeking a bit of solitude at the base of one of the large glass windows. He discarded his plate but kept his warm mug, letting his focus blur as he stared out at the rain.

Awesome.

Beautiful. Love the LotR bit.

*grins* I did get a bit of a giggle out of that when I got the idea for it. Besides, SG-1 and SGA is known for occasionally slipping movie and/or television references into the dialogue. I figured, why not me? They had the Elf Rejects in Misbegotten, after all. ;D

It was almost as if Elizabeth had poked fate in the eye, and fate had backhanded her right back.

HOLY KITTY LITTER, BATMAN. That line is so powerful, it hit you right here and dwarfs the rest of the (incredible) fic. Just-- wow. Amazing.

And very Lorne.
