stargateficrecGreetings! This month I have been honoured with the task of rec'ing fics about a much neglected hero of mine; Steven Caldwell!
First up:
Show: Stargate Atlantis
Rec Category: Character Steven Caldwell
Character: Steven Caldwell, Elizabeth Weir
Pairing: Caldwell/Weir
Het/Slash/Gen: het
Rating: T
Author on LJ: no
Author's Website: http://smiley.zonezine.net/index.html
Link: http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/Checkmate.html
Why this must be read: This is actually Elizabeth's pov, by one of my favorite writers ever and once again she captures exactly what I see in the ship. She keeps both Steven and Elizabeth perfectly in character and shows us what the writers on the show could have done. It's tense, beautiful and so very very sweet.
The first time she knows she loves him is as she waits, her heart pounding so hard it shakes her whole body, as they ferry people from the severely injured Daedalus to Atlantis. The dead come first, and she wonders how they will accommodate them all, and says a little prayer of thanks every time she sees that the corpse is not him. Then the wounded. Each survivor brings fresh horror stories, and new wounds. The badly wounded are sent to Beckett, carried on a line of stretchers that seems impossibly long. And then, finally, there is him.
