Title: Conflict of Interests Author: Purpleyin Rating: K+
Spoilers: Up to second half of S2 "The Hive" Summary: Ficlet about the aftermath of certain events in the episode “The Hive”. Elizabeth's perspective on what happened to McKay.
Hm. Thank you for that - the whole addiction malaise seemed so terribly rushed on the show that stories dealing with it are always a plus. And, finally, finally one from Weir's POV, shedding some light on her non-reaction. Lovely and quiet and once again, thank you.
Sometimes (often) I think TPTB leave out scenes on purpose: that they want to rush along and tell their story in 43 minutes, so anything that they don't have time for but can sort of handwave they leave out, saying "Oh, the fans will figure it out! They'll write fic!"
I think this story is what they were hoping for. TPTB should pay *you* for doing their job.
Way to make sense of a scene that truly didn't! I really had difficulty reconciling this scene when I watched the ep and you've managed to give it a beleivable and beautifully angsty meaning that the episode itself didn't manage.

I love that fourth-to-last paragraph ("She wonders if he has a need to justify...") So wonderful; great insight into both of them.

WOW! Brilliant!

Well done you! ;-)
