Why This Must Be Read: Because each little AU is a very interesting slice of John and Elizabeth's relationship and how they could/might be in another time and place. Each one leaves you wanting to read more(and that's a good thing.) And each one is thought provoking and lovely.
She was about to deliver a bold, potentially career-ending speech in front of three hundred of her fellow dignitaries and cultural attachés at the hub of the United Nations. She couldn’t afford her mind to be preoccupied by anything other than her speech, her words, her preferred weapon of choice.
“You’ll do fine,” John assured her softly, standing off to the left behind her.
Elizabeth tossed a look over her shoulder. He was dressed in a non-descript suit, but the rigid stance and the communication earpiece that hung off his right ear belied his true identity. A Secret Service agent was supposed to wear attire appropriate for their surroundings, blend in and become unnoticeable.
Elizabeth wondered if that was even possible for a man like John Sheppard. She’d been hyper-aware of his presence since the moment he’d been assigned her detail two weeks ago, and it was so much more complicated than for the obvious reasons. Yes, he represented the cold, harsh reality of her predicament – the need to be protected from a man out there that was hell bent on turning her life upside down, ending it if he could – but there was a part of Elizabeth that felt comfortable with John in a way she didn’t dare put into words.
