swficathon | Won With Sacrifice, written for driftingatdusk

Sorry this is a wee bit late.

TITLE: Won With Sacrifice
AUTHOR: Shane Vansen
CATEGORY: Sheppard/Weir angst, drama, UST/RST/romance, a bit of A/A
SPOILERS: Adrift, Lifeline, This Mortal Coil, Be All My Sins Remember'd; anything through BAMSR is fair game
RATING: PG
LENGTH: 5720 words
SUMMARY: Two months at the hands of the Asurans and nine months spent living in fear of them finding her again have changed her.
DISCLAIMER: it's probably best that they're not mine. I'd screw it up. But then again, at least we'd still have Elizabeth.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Written for

driftingatdusk. Prompts as follows:
* Story Request 1: Set season four, angsty but hopeful, no Sam!bashing
* Story Request 2: Elizabeth off-world, established relationship
for both: Sam/Jack and Ronon/Teyla pairings are okay but optional

I think I scored 4.5/5 for the prompts and 0.5/2 for the optional pairings. I hope you like it, Jo!

Please be aware: Fic assumes (mostly) canon through most of BAMSR, but ignores the last ten seconds or so of that ep and takes a right turn from there. Also, I've only seen six episodes of S4 so I apologize if I made any glaring and contradictory errors.

Sorry for the lack of team!moments. The muse wants to make this fic about twice as long as it is, but I ran out of time.

Hugely big thanks to

quietlybemused, even if she is using information unethically gained through her betaing to hold over my head for years and years to come. :p~
