sholio | Completed WIP: The Light of a Fading Sun

I'm already on chapter 6 and *wibble* oh John! oh Rodney! oh John! oh Rodney!

I should totally be hauled in for gratuitous John and Rodney abuse in this story! Multiple counts too!

Thanks; glad you're enjoying it! (if "enjoying" is quite the right word for what I put them through in this one...)

I always get a little leary when I see those 'dark AU' warnings, but this is fantastic. You led up to the reveal about the alternate universe really well and presented a frightening but absolutely conceivable exploration of how things might have gone wrong, if just a few things had gone differently along the way.

I absolutely love your Sheppard and Rodney. You've really captured their canon relationship - they care so much about each other but would really rather eat shards of glass than admit it to anyone, let alone each other. But their actions show the truth, time and again. :D

Thank you so much! I wasn't quite sure how to describe the story accurately without scaring people away, because it *is* dark and it *is* bleak ... but it doesn't exactly stay that way.

"would rather eat shards of broken glass" ... SO TRUE! But they're willing to do pretty much anything for each other, regardless. And we love them for it!

Words can't express how much I loved it, I thought the alt-sheppard was kind of creepy actually, but then he redeemed himself :D Also, I loved the Rodney/Ronon bits to pieces, and the Doranda twist made me hurt for poor Rodney *clutch him to chest*

I have to admit I read the first chapter a while ago, and stopped. Then, a friend of mine, who is not as flighty as me, finished reading it then proceeded to hit me over the head and make me read it too, and man am I glad she did :) I then read the whole thing in one go then went and made a fanart *blinks blearily at screen*

Anyway, I'll be going to sleep now, seeing as it's 1:00am and I have to be up in 6 hours :) Also, I've posted the fanart to my journal here (http://alena-malfoy.livejournal.com/4061.html#cutid1), if you want to take a look :)

OMG FANART! *squees* That's gorgeous! And awesome! Thank you so much! *squees again* I hope you don't mind if I edit in a link to it?

I'm glad you went ahead and read it -- and liked it! I was worried that people wouldn't be able to make it past the depressing first couple of chapters to the less depressing part. Thank you for reading, and for letting me know. And for the art! *squees some more*

Just finished reading this.
IT.HAD.EVERYTHING.
PLOT.
CHARACTERISATION.
PACE.

Perfect.
As a slashaholic, I could hve done with some McKay/Sheppard action :)
but, apart from that gap....Perfect.

This has got to be in the top 20 best SGA fics written.
You are one hell of a talented writer.

More epics like this, please!

OMG thank you! *pets reviewer happily*

I'm so glad you liked it! And especially as you are slashariffic but liked it anyway -- THANK YOU!

Still contemplating what the next big project will be...

That was just an amazing story.

I had been reading it on FF but for some reason as I finished chapter 14, and it was an evil cliffie I may add, FF decided to not work for me. I just had to come find it and finish it here.

Fantastic story. Loved the ending. Loved how our two helped the other reality get back on track. Great character interaction and dialogue. I am almost sorry it is done. I will just have to read it again and again!

Pocus

Thank you so much! Yes, I did read your last review on ff.net -- and then the whole site went down for a while. Silly site.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it. Of course they fixed things. ^_^ Sort of.

Just want to say ... WOW! Great fic!!!

Thank you so much! Thanks for reading it. :)

Oh wow! That was all kinds of awesome Sholio. I can't say how much I love your writing - you are so talented. Your characters are so real and so true to canon, and your stories are imaginative and incredibly well written. I really loved this fic. Such a rollercoaster ride of emotions - I thought my heart would stop when John and Teyla got shot! And the divisiveness of the team and the image of the Atlantis team falling apart from the inside was just heartbreaking. For a story to engage my interest and my emotions the way this one did, and create such vivid imagery, I have to give full credit to the author. Congratulations, and thank you.

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! And I'm sorry it's taken me awhile to reply. I was out of town for a couple of weeks and have been very slow at catching up on older LJ posts. This was a difficult story to write, due to the emotional roller-coaster of it, but I'm so glad that in the end, it worked. :)

Oh, man. If I didn't know you were going to fix it somehow, I don't think I could have gotten through the first quarter of this story. So painful! But you did fix it and it was awesome. *loves*

*grin* Thank you so much! Sorry for the belated reply; I am sloowwwwww. But I'm glad you enjoyed it. The first few chapters were very hurty; I'm glad you stuck with it to the less hurty parts. :)

I read most of this story on ff.n, but never got around to posting feedback, so I'll tell you now that I love it. You always have such a wonderful balance in your stories - humour and drama and angst, all the best stuff.

Great work, as usual. Looking forward to whatever you come up with next. :)

Thank you so much! I was nervous about reader response to this one, since (at least in the beginning) it's a bit depressing and different from what I normally write. I'm glad you liked it!

Wow, I totally loved this. I liked the way you showed such a bleak world Atlantis would be if it wasn't such a family: John pulling away from his friends and becoming that military guy, Rodney's hurt and jealousy completely overwhelming the parts of his personality that make him lovable in spite of himself, Elizabeth slowly losing any control she has over the City and its people.

The best part of this was that while these people should all be totally unlikable, you were able to make them sympathetic. And then by bringing in our John & Rodney, who would die for each other a hundred times over, you really pointed out to the AUs just how much they had lost.

One of my favorite parts was the scene where Ronon takes our Rodney out to the balcony and then falls asleep and how Rodney realizes how important that is.

I found the ending both sad and hopeful. I was sad that Rodney was still off the team even a year later, but hopeful that, eventually, the friendship would be completely mended.

Great job, and a lovely long read. I so adore well-written epics, even of the gen variety. ;P

And now I'm off to see what other gems you have in store for me. :D

Thank you so much!

This was a hard story to write; especially in the beginning, it was so hard to write a version of them where they had drifted so far apart. I tried to postulate a plausible alternate Atlantis, where they were still the same people but with their less positive, more antisocial traits becoming magnified by circumstance; it makes me feel glowingly happy that it sounds like it worked as I had hoped.

And we do love our John and Rodney. *squeak*

Yeah ... I went back and forth while I was writing it on how to end it, but given everything that had transpired, it seemed like a slow fix would be more likely than a quick fix. But, yes, they are very slowly patching up everything that had gone wrong ... and, in the end, they have Carson *and* the Dorandans too.

Thank you again for the feedback!

I printed this out almost a month ago, and FINALLY had time to start reading it today (a day off and not traveling, finally!). I LOVE long stories, but I didn't want to be interrupted a billion times reading it, so I'm a bit behind in getting to it.

Okay, I'm only halfway through (and I haven't looked at any of the other comments, in case they are spoilers), but I just had to write to say I'm LOVING this! You sneaky devil, you! (g)

I was reading along this morning, and I'll admit I wasn't really loving it at first. It was a rather sad AU I was reading here, and I simply couldn't get my head around John and Rodney being so unhappy with each other. And such a sad look at Atlantis. I realize that authors like to play in different sandboxes, and I'm willing to go along with an author I like, but I was hoping you'd hurry up and get to whatever incident you were planning that would make them start to like each other again, and get them back on track as friends. Then I could enjoy the rest of the story as they learn to trust one another again and rebuild their friendship. And fix Atlantis along the way.

Hmmm, they're building a bridge to another universe. Huh, where's Jeannie? Oh, another change I don't really care for. Oh well,
Rod will probably pop in pretty soon; that should move the plot along a bit. I like it when they meet themselves from other universes. Ah, yes, here's Rod--NOW maybe John will see that Rodney's not all bad?

What? Science yellow? Command blue? What the...?

I LOVE it when I am completely surprised and the surprise makes everything so much better! You did a great job of keeping them close enough to "our" J&R that I thought it was them--just a very sad AU version I was having a hard time enjoying. I had no clue what was going on until the reveal. All the REALLY out of character stuff is happening now that we know it's not actually them.

My FAVORITE type of story is when OUR characters (SGA or SG-1) meet their counterparts from other universes, and great hijinks then ensue. For a second there you had me going again, though, with our Sheppard being dead. I see you wrote this as a WIP, with the requisite mean cliffhangers. (That's one of the reasons I don't read many WIP--the other reason is that sometimes they never get finished.)

Anyway, I'm REALLY enjoying the story now. Poor Rodney, trapped in his room and emailing Elizabeth 57 times. Poor John, trying to figure out what the heck is going on--and realizing that Atlantis isn't talking to him (a very interesting twist). And the nefarious aliens, who will end up trying to kill them all, and therefore bring them all closer together--as it should be in ALL universes!

Whoo-hoo! Back to reading now. I can't wait to finish. But then I may have to read it all over again, once I know where it's going.

SQUEE! This is awesome, because that's EXACTLY what I was trying to do in the beginning -- to be subtle enough with the AU elements that it's a total shock when the guys from "our" universe show up.

I love the possibilities that AUs have to highlight certain character traits that are different between the versions of the characters (in this case, the devotion between our boys) and I had a lot of fun developing that aspect of this story, even though writing the early chapters was sort of like raking myself over the emotional coals.

And one of the things I've really been enjoying in my fanfic writing lately is building up to a "surprise reveal", because I love so much when other writers do it to me. *grin*

Thank you so much for the "stream of consciousness" review -- I think my very favorite kind of review is the kind that gives me insight into how the reader reacted at different points in the story. I read this one at work a few days ago and it made me squee (quietly, of course). On to the next ...

I've finished now, and I can tell you this is one of my all-time favorite SGA stories ever. It just kept getting better and better. You did a fantastic job of reminding the AU Atlanteans of how things used to be, and a glimpse of how it could be again, if they could simply work through the hurt feelings and move on.

But you also showed that Sheppard was really the catalyst for the change, with him becoming the type of commander he'd always hated, in order to try to protect himself (from feelings) and his people (from danger). It demonstrated how our somewhat easygoing Sheppard is a link between the science and the military and allows a much better dynamic.

I really think this story could be made into a really great (two-part) episode of the show, and I'd love to see it there in front of me with the actors and all. It would be fascinating to see if Joe Flanigan could pull off the harder military leader, yet show the vulnerability that Sheppard was trying to hide. And I'm sure David Hewlett could pull off the even-more-caustic Rodney who's wondering what the heck happened to his ex-good friend.

My biggest "complaint" is that it ended! (g) From a good storytelling POV, it was best to end it where you did, wrapping it up on a high note from each universe. But I would love to read another story showing alt-John and alt-Rodney, and all the alt-Atlantis personnel, learning to trust each other again. I liked that you showed it wasn't a quick fix, with Rodney still not on the team, even a year later. And, who knows, perhaps that's the best way it should be in that universe--as long as the Atlantis family is there, I could be happy with it.

Thank you for another wonderful long read!

Oh, and PS, I LOVED all the wonderful h/c. As a total h/c junkie, I couldn't leave that out!

Thank you SO much! *hee* As an h/c junkie myself, I gotta admit that I enjoyed writing those parts best of all...

After everything that had happened, giving them a "quick fix" and putting Rodney back on the team didn't feel right. They all had to slowly work their way back to being a "family" again. And it may be that Rodney will remain based out of Atlantis -- but still having that close friendship with John, even though they don't work together every day.

It demonstrated how our somewhat easygoing Sheppard is a link between the science and the military and allows a much better dynamic.

Yes! I hadn't really thought about it until working out the alt-Atlantis character dynamic, but I think that a vital element of the easygoing dynamic on the Atlantis that we know and love is Sheppard's willingness to schmooze with either size of the military-civilian divide. Imagining someone else in charge (even a laid-back but still traditional career-military type like Jack O'Neil) produces a very different feeling than what we've got.

Thanks again for all the feedback -- I'm just delighted and grateful that you liked it so much, and thank you again for letting me know!

Good God. Got linked here from sgastoryfinders and I just lost an entire Sunday to reading it and I don't regret it. Fucking fantastic, for real.

Oh, thank you! I have wasted so much time reading other people's wonderful stories that it is always immensely flattering to be a source of time-wasting in others. No, seriously! *g* Thanks for letting me know that you liked it. ^_^

I got here from sgastoryfinders too, and OMG. OMG. This is AMAZING. I just... ::FLAILS::

The plot is so intricate and, wow, I can see how the other Sheppard and McKay could have gotten to the point where they were so very estranged. Then, when our guys show up, it made me realize how far off the rails the other Atlanteans were and I loved that Sheppard especially realized it, and omg.

If you'd just dropped us with our guys into that other universe, especially with the way Sheppard talked to alt-McKay the first time, omg, I would have been like, "EEEE, EVIL ATLANTIS OMG RUN RODNEY AND JOHN!!!!11!"

Well done! Holy crap, so well done!

Thank you so much! *giggles at your icon*-- such an awesome little moment!

I think my big worry with this story was that people would find it too dark and depressing, and wouldn't stick with it 'till our "real" guys show up. I'm glad you stuck with it, and I'm so squeeful and happy-glowy at your review, I'm not really sure what to say. Thank you. I'm so very glad that you liked it that much, and thanks for letting me know. ^_^

Wow incredible. Starting from the alternate universe, showing us how they felt and making us feel for them was a really cool way to do this -- I'm actually really glad that I couldn't hate them, even when I wanted to (especially when Alt-Sheppard was going to kill Our Rodney!).

I loved this. And I'm really glad that we got to see them afterwards, both universes. That Carson was able to be saved in the other universe (for the forseeable future, anyway), that the other universe got healed by having our universe there. And that our boys got back to their world, that maybe seeing Carson again has allowed them both to finally start dealing with their grief.

Thank you for sharing this!

I so TOTALLY owed you an answer for this review long since, but thank you! Please forgive my tardiness for not getting back to you; I'm sure it won't be the last time. :)

... and I'm glad you didn't hate the alts, despite their overall messed-up-ness!

I just recently (ie today) read this story and I have to say - it's fantastic! I've been coming to your LJ and reading stuff and despite me not liking angst, I really enjoy everything you write. I think it's because the angst isn't forever - I mean, there is always a resolution.

You know, you nearly killed me when AU-Sheppard died!!! I'm so glad everything ended well in the end.

I came here because

derry667 mentioned to me today this story. We were talking about Ghost in the Machine.

What I really enjoyed about this story was that quintessential interaction between John and Rodney when they first go to the AU universe. No matter what happened and in the midst of all the craziness and chaos, they depended on each other and remained loyal.

You really like the friendship between them beautifully. And I liked it that Ronon was still Ronon in the AU. Again I loved the adventure and the twists and surprises in the storylines.

Thank you for sharing! :D

I meant to say you really "write" the friendship between John and Rodney beatifully not "like"...

Okay, here's another fic that suffers from my not being able to comment on it because I was quite literally speechless at the end of it. Finally trying to compose some kind of coherent reaction, hoping the emotional distance will make it easier...

I read this really soon after watching Sunday for the first time - I'd noticed the spoiler warning, of course, so I avoided the temptation of going after another one of your lovely novel-length stories to stay unspoiled. Good call, but it meant that I read this all raw from the emotions in Sunday, and... you have no idea how much of an impact this story had on top of that. Or maybe you do! You wrote it. But, really, some parts of it just took my breath away - again, literally.

What I'm trying to say is that this is one of the best fics I have read. Ever. Eleven years of reading fanfic, and very few stories have gripped me like this one. This one I will print, as soon as I get a bit of extra money. Print and save, so I can read it again without needing my computer to do so. This story to me is so good, it's - it's having my cake and eating it too! That's what it is.

It's having that kind of darkness and angst that I do find fascinating, but that disturbs me when it's taken over the characters completely, and being able to enjoy it fully, without any of my usual squicked reactions, because it's just half the story. The other half has the kind of friendship I live forin this fandom. And it's not that either of them is half the story, but that they BOTH are the story, together - it's the angst cake and the friendship cake, it's not just friendship cake with angsty frosting or vice versa!

I mean - this is a fic that does major character death, which usually upsets me, and then had that be not-permanent in a way that didn't feel like cheating! (Okay, so the character death upset me here too... okay, so I might actually have CRIED when Sheppard sacrificed himself, even though I had a very strong feeling it was going to be alright, but I swear it's TRUE that I don't cry that often, and I totally blame the proximity to Sunday and that's horrible cheating! ...of course, this reaction is one of the reasons this is one of the best fics EVER, so. Um. Obviously you're allowed to cheat, and please don't stop?)

That whole bit was - it's a scene with such powerful emotions, and usually a scene like that is a very definite ending, and there is no way of dealing with the fallout, with the last-moment realizations and this scene was not the end, but a nice, traumatizing reset. Which works, so well.

Oh, and as you've probably noticed by now, I have a bit of an AU kink. I don't go for fic AUs quite as easily as I do for canon, but - oh, man, you're doing EVERYTHING right. From the moment I realized we were in an alternative universe (I can't recall exactly when it was, but it was the hints... Elizabeth in blue I did react to, of course, but I was so busy reading I don't think I actually knew before our guys showed up!), everything just clicked, and I absolutely love what you did with it. I love that it feels so real - I mean, I would hate it if it happened, hate, and if things had kept heading the direction they were for Atlantis, it would have depressed me beyond belief, but it didn't - it was there for a reason, and there was still our Rodney and our John and our Atlantis out there, somewhere. But - yes, it felt like a place Atlantis could so easily have been, if things had gone differently. And that's another thing - reading the story, there was an actual explanation of where it all went wrong, and why. I liked the suspense of not knowing, until the very end - of being able to guess, but not know. And I do love that it's right there, that there was an actual defining moment when this darker Atlantis was born. (It's something that I can get annoyed with in other "close but not the same" worlds - it can't all just be different for no reason at all, so what happened? That question is one of the central ones of parallel AUs to me, and I was so pleased to have it answered here - and so convincingly answered, too!)

...wow, would you look at the length of this? And I feel as if I haven't even started. Um.

So, yes, as I was saying - getting waaaaaaaay too long, but I can't just stop now because LJ's character limit is out to get me! At least not before I can at leas mention my love of the way you wrote the relationships in this one! Because. Seriously. OH. ♥

First of all - our John and Rodney? SO MUCH LOVE. Stranded together in this creepy funhouse mirror of a place, with the other one the only sane person around, as far as they can tell... yeah, there'd be a bit more sticking together than on a regular mission. Of course, before they even know anything John is dying, and that is not something that makes Rodney very happy, and then the rest of the story has all that wonderful, wonderful h/c and worry and it's all a part of the story! I am incredibly impressed by how there's all this plot and action and then the h/c happens in the middle of all that without feeling the slightest bit out of place or uncalled for. (Okay, I'm a h/c junkie, and I don't really mind when there's a random hurting and comforting and such happening all over the place, but that doesn't mean I don't notice when it's quite obviously there just for the sake of having some gratuitous h/c-fun. This is a story shock-full of h/c goodness, but it never felt gratuitous.) So, anyway. John and Rodney and an Atlantis full of scary doubles - beautiful.

But! There's more! Which is what makes the fic genius, of course. Special love goes to Rodney and Ronon, and Ronon taking to this strange, prickly yet approachable Rodney who isn't scared of him, and talks to him like an actual person. Ronon looking after Rodney was just fantastic. All of it. And the Sheppard decides he trusts Ronon with Rodney, and it doubles the cuteness of it all, because they're building trust where there wasn't any before - at least not the kind of trust they all share back home. ♥

There's also John with Weir - not his Elizabeth, but someone who could be her. Should be her. Her view on Rodney and John both was interesting and amusing, but the parts where I realized the immensity of her constant struggle in her Atlantis - ow. That broke my heart a little. Again.

It broke for Weir - and of course it broke for Sheppard and McKay (using surnames for the alts will make it easier to tell them apart!). They're still who they are, but - harder, and things have gone wrong, and again, it's not that hard to see. To see the how something like the failure of Ford's death would tear the team apart, and then the split would go wider and wider until it was citywide, and then the hurt and betrayal that happened in our Trinity took a different expression, and they were left with this bitterness. That - I - ...okay, some things I still can't find any words for, except for wrong. But then - you fixed it! And I love that it wasn't a fix that just made alt!Atlantis into our Atlantis, but rather - it's another Atlantis, but it's better, even if it's still different.

...I can't believe I had to make another one, but here is three

I finally got the time to read this story, and was sorry I hadn't done so earlier. It's awesome! very gripping and compelling. Great action/adventure, interesting characters, a fascinating alternate-universe. I especially liked how you made the "villains" three-dimensional, with families and reasons for the things they did, basically made them people, and impossible to see as evil. Excellent original characters. Thanks for a wonderful read!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you liked it. And yes, I love doing villains that aren't really evil; it makes things so much harder for the main characters! So, er ... maybe that makes me evil! *wicked grin*

Thanks!

Okay, I love this fic with an indescribable passion. I admit I am biased - the "some AU intersects with the reality we know & love" is one of my all-time favorite fic-plots ever, because of the insight it offers into the chars, and this is just a delightful example of the genre.

The plot is wonderfully done, that it all comes down to Doranda, that McKay figures it out before Jeannie, not being distracted by caring about his team...aw man. Oh, how I love the differences in the universe. It's angsty as hell but I simply adore how Sheppard and McKay are both dark-side and miserable, not being friends. And Ford's death having changed Sheppard so works so well, that it's absolutely shocking but makes utter sense when you hear it, the final piece put into place.

The other chars - the scene with Ronon, when he keeps a vigil with our-Rodney, and is given a candybar...oh man, so much love I cannot contain it. And then Teyla takes over a ship. A one-woman strike team! Mwahah! Awesome!

And then there's the little differences in the universe! Mr. Schwartzenegger's Neighborhood! Chevy Chase's Han Solo! Which might be the reason everything is wrong - oh, Rodney. He does such a wonderful job being worried out of his mind for Sheppard and not admitting it to anyone (most especially himself; everyone else notices it...)

Also, Doranda-ians...as soon as I heard they existed I wondered what that would mean to our McKay, and that didn't disappoint. Sheppard's final conversation with our McKay...oh, they're so good at the support thing. Aw.

And the epilogue to the alt-verse - that McKay doesn't get back on the team immediately, but they're in so much a better place, and getting stronger. And that Carson lives! Oh...it's satisfying that it doesn't get fixed all at once, but someday. As long as they're finding their way back to friendship (though with McKay in the labs all the time, one wonders what kind of advancements he might've made...there are some advantages to letting him work full-time!)

My only complaint with this fic is that it - at 90K words - was too short - I wanted more! Like I said...love these type of stories so very much!

Thanks for all the fic. I am glad to finally be in this fandom, y'know ^_^

Whee! Thank you so much! I'm overjoyed and bouncy-happy that you liked it so much. Thanks for the feedback; it was wonderful to read! And it's lovely to have you in the fandom at last. ^_^

I've been wanting to read this for a long time and apparently sending me on a 3 week internet-less trip was the way to get me to finally do it.

I've always loved your epics and your John and Rodney friendship - they helped lure me into Stargate, and I really, really loved this one. I loved the other universe that was just a little bit different and yet different enough to be so entirely alien - all the characters skewed just off in chillingly real ways that just work.

I think, though, what I loved best was your creation of the Dorandans. I think SGA had a lot of unrealized potential in not exploring better how societies and people adjusted to life under the Wraith - all the myriad ways they chose to survive, and so I love this culture you created and this society that would be so very possible and real and then the implication that our Rodney could have destroyed them just makes it all the more chilling. But the almost religious fervor and the mixture of scientists and military (which was a great contrast to the situation on Atlantis) was great, as was the fact that could still be reasoned with (thus making them 3-dimensional people, rather than flat villains). All very fantastic.

And you saved Carson. Which is always worth something :)

Thank you so much! (And welcome back, by the way! I missed you on the internets!) Thank you for the lovely review -- I really enjoyed exploring the Doranda situation, as well as its darker implications for our universe, and trying to present them as scared and desperate people rather than bad guys. I'm glad that came through, and I'm delighted that you enjoyed the story.

This was absolutely incredible. You made the other universe seem entirely plausible and the implications of the Dorandans were staggering and well-played out for all involved. I absolutely loved this story. Thank you so much for sharing!

P.S. Dancing paperclip :)

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you liked it, especially the Dorandan situation -- poor, poor Rodney! (And the paperclip. Hee. They're such dorks!)
