Why This Must Be Read: This is a pre-slash friendship between Carson and Radek from Radeks POV. A sweet little fic about Carsons mice


Dr. Beckett's lab mice are the only Earth animal allowed in Atlantis. Radek watches them squeaking and tumbling over one another in their cages, small, sleek, and white. In spite of all the antiseptics and cleaning chemicals, Bio Lab Five smells faintly musty from them and their bedding.

It's not entirely unpleasant; the scent makes him think of his grandmother's tiny apartment in Prague, filled with ancient overstuffed chairs, bits of lacework, and faded photographs of relatives they'd lost to wars or regimes. It makes him remember unbearably long Sunday afternoons spent there dressed in his best suit, behaving himself when he'd much rather be taking things apart and putting them back together again in his uncle Matej's shop.

He's finished with his repair work, ready to leave, but Radek sets his backpack filled with tools on one of the less-cluttered benches and steps closer to look. They are such small creatures, but ah, the potential carried within their little bodies—these are Beckett's ATA mice, his gene therapy reservoir. Radek presses his hand to the glass of one cage, and thinks, why could it not work for me?
