Author's Summary: Three years after being kidnapped and sold as a slave, Elizabeth Weir returns to her people. Please consider the warnings carefully, as this is a dark future AU story.

Why This Must Be Read: Because miera_c writes Elizabeth Weir like few others, who manages to get the strengths and weaknesses of the character, and doesn't mind exploiting them to create wonderful fics. You'd really be hard pressed to find an author that writes her better in any incarnation (the stoic leader, the lover, the friend, the strong-willed woman, the fragile woman). miera_c does it all, and this story exemplifies many of them all wrapped up into one fic.


She strained herself for three years, trying to find any news of the survivors of Atlantis, any hint of anything familiar, and came up empty. Her best hope is that some of the people from the Alpha site survived the raid that had condemned her and two others to slavery. She prayed that the team was still out there, trying to find a way home, and being thoroughly careful not to attract attention. On certain dark nights she has been morbidly sure she is the only one who still survives.
