Summary: The events in the Pegasus Galaxy, seen through the eyes of Dr. Radek Zelenka. Slightly AU, but not much.
Introduction
Which is boring, but necessary to avoid future misunderstandings. So, please, read it before you complain about things. :))
Author’s notes:
1. To the settings
This story is an AU but takes place in almost the same settings as canon. However, Dr. Weir is here called Theresa and still played by the wonderful Jessica Steen. The personal background of Dr. Zelenka is entirely my creation: his age, his past, his family back on Earth and the new one in Atlantis. Canon might later push these things into the realm of an AU as well, but at this moment (at the end of Season 2) they don’t clash with any known facts. Well, not too much.
2. To the timeframe
It is probably not canonically correct, but it suits my storyline. In case anyone is interested in the calculations:
- at the beginning of Episode 105 (Suspicions), the Athosians have supposedly lived in Atlantis for 3 months;
- I assumed that the pilot happened at the approximate time of the the first airing, o.e. in September;
- therefore, “Suspicions” would take place in November (if we count one week per episode), and the Atlatnis crew would have their first Christmas shortly before Episode 1.12 (The Defiant One). There is absolutely no canon facts that would support this theory, of course. I simply wanted all the supporting characters who dies shortly thereafter to be on the first Christmas party;
- for the second half of the story, I stretched the timeline a bit, assumong that a whole year passed between Episodes 1.12 (The Defiant One) and 2.06 (Trinity), because I didn’t want to deal with the additional problem of the Wraith girl but could that way already use the supporting characters from ealry Season 2. I know it’s a bit forced, but not entirely impossible, I hope.
3. To the structure
The story is practically the recapture of certain canon events from Dr. Zelenka’s POV. For this reason, the individual chapters are titled after the respective episodes.
Chapter 01 - Rising 1 Chapter 02 - Rising 2 Chapter 03 - Rising 3 Chapter 04 - Hide and Seek 1 Chapter 05 - Hide and Seek 2
This story is not yet finished.
