Time Stamp Meme!

Dec 27, 2007 22:55

I did this meme around the same time last year, and I think I want to make it a yearly tradition because it's a really cool way to end the fic-year. Last year I came through for all but one request (which is still in my pending folder because I will not give up), and some were small pieces while others were full out fics.

Give me one of my own ( Read more... )

On Persephone they hear the rumors about a small group of Satedans on a planet in the outer rim. Simon settles his recent medical purchases into the mule and doesn't look at either Mal or Ronon. Jayne, on the other hand, tries to lay odds with Zoe about who will win the inevitable battle of wills between the two.

When they get back to Serenity Ronon stares at Mal, arms crossed over his chest, and doesn't say a word. In the last few years Ronon has followed Mal almost without question, has been a good and loyal soldier even when he thought Mal's plans were not at all viable. Given how rare that is on this ship, even Simon knows that Mal owes Ronon something in return.

Inara comes to Simon in the common area and sits across from him. "I thought you should know that Ronon has taken his belongings your old visitor's quarters."

Simon closes the book he's been pretending to read and sighs. "I see."

"Ronon's loss is on a scale that only a few people can comprehend," Inara says delicately. "It's only natural--"

"I know."

Inara studies him shrewdly, then nods and rises to her feet with painstakingly learned but seemingly effortless fluidity.

Simon would like to hold on to his anger and hurt, to cling to it righteously, but it's impossible to do so. There was a time when Simon would have taken River and left Serenity--and everyone on her--without a backward glance or second thought. ( ... )

Oh! I dunno why you thought I wouldn't like this. The SGA isn't too overwhelming. River is just right. Whee! for Mal and his reluctant good heart!

Thanks! I pulled part of Ronon's story arc in, and I'm glad it worked and that I brought enough it that it made sense in this context. WOOHOO!

Oh man, NICE job of adapting that storyline. Oh Ronon. My heart breaks, it really does, but even more so for Simon in a lot of ways. Man.
