The Sun Shines Bright On Every Stone, by Sophonisba [not human challenge]

[saphanibaal]

-title- The Sun Shines Bright On Every Stone
-author- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)
-warnings- AU, AU, AU: a Zophonisbeion tag to a story I wrote some time ago. Gen with inferences. Some oddities with language as artifacts of the translation process. There is some mild crossoveriness, but most of it isn't really very intrusive.
-timeframe- It would sort of be near

Went back and read the other. Read this one. Now want another. (points at icon) See? Rodney wants another, too!

Thank you for commenting!

I am writing more in this universe, but, well... this is what I had done in time for the deadline.

I love your Miko so much. And how clearly the different cultures of your characters shine through in the stories. And sealie Rodney is very cool.

"Doesn't it get weary, living with secrets?" Dex wondered.

"Not that much, no," everyone said, and then looked at each other.

By mutual consent, the conversation on the way back was entirely about Teyla's book.

I'm torn between wanting to laugh and feeling very sorry for everyone. (But mostly I laugh.)

Thank you!

I like playing with Miko, and working with multiple cultures is always sort of tricky...

I think Ronon's the only one out of that bunch who isn't hiding at least one Background Secret... and even the book in question is setting something up for Miko's Visit Earthside.

Once again, thank you for your comments!

I'm totally in love with this universe, and I'm trying to scour your journal for all of it- you don't have it all in that list, as far as I can tell, but so far as I can remember, Ford is a Sunnydale kid, right? I ask because I'm trying to figure out who was telling him about souls, and I can't think of a single Jossverse character whose name starts with an L.

//and I'm trying to scour your journal for all of it- you don't have it all in that list, as far as I can tell,//

Well, I keep finishing more bits (and a lot of it is sort of a muddled mess at the moment, anyway).

//but so far as I can remember, Ford is a Sunnydale kid, right?//

Him and half the first-wave Marines, yes. (Ford, however, is technically an L.A. kid -- his grandparents sent him to live with a relative who lived in a better* neighborhood so that he could go to a good public high school. Hence his presence at the reunion in the flashback.)

*Well, local employment offered all sorts of perquisites and people were moving into very nice and very reasonably-priced residences all the time.

//and I can't think of a single Jossverse character whose name starts with an L.//

This particular L____ is not a creation of Joss Whedon, but from something else I'm having too much fun not to stick in here somewhere; the more setup I do in the background, the better it will fit in once I actually get some of those stories written
