minxyLadies and gentlemen, I suggest you drop whatever you are doing right now and go read the incredible story that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
paian has just unlocked.
It's ostensibly for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dark_gate ficathon, and for me, but it's too much to hoard.
This is dark, shocking, deft storytelling at it's best. I'd say it was a gen novella, but in the true nature of things dark, sex is a weapon and a wound like any other, and Vala... well...
I loved Sam and Vala in this. Their hatred and mercy is singular and stunning. Cameron is such an amazingly loyal creature to the end, but his levels of denial are amazing. Daniel is too self-aware, Teal'c broke my heart. This is set at S10 mid-season hiatus, so Jack is banished out to Pegasus, along with the Atlantis command staff, but everything else...
It's like the saddest, most inevitable, darkest, gen novel you've ever read. They are all so twisted by the... end. So much so you have to wonder about whether the ending is happy, or relative.
Deft, gorgeous storytelling, people. I'm still a little stunned I had anything to do with it (one sentence prompt, seriously, and I get this.)
Palimpsest, 30,000 words, gen, R rated, dark. Bypaian for me in the dark_gate ficathon. Link goes to part 1, with links to other parts within.
