Why This Must Be Read:
I love a good apocafic, especially when the author manages to give the scenario a little twist that you weren't quite expecting.
In this version of the world's end, Sam and Cam are stranded on Earth, but in France - far away from home and the gate. This fic is about the two characters and how they react to their situation.
I loved Sam and her never give up attitude, and how that is contrasted with Cam - who can slip into a changed life a little more easily.
This is a really beautiful fic.
A Teeny Extract
“Daniel has this theory,” she said, “that you know you’ve given up when you let yourself get drunk with the locals.”
“Really?” He asked, “Talk to him lately?” It was clearly the wrong thing to say, but the words were somersaulting out of his mouth before he heard them.
“Jack did,” she snapped, “Eudora. Daniel didn’t, in Caledonia.”
“I know Sam, I did my homework, once upon a time…”
“I didn’t, at the alpha site, on the Prometheus.”
“That’s other planets, Sam; this is Earth. Well, the Prometheus… you know what I mean.” He suddenly felt old and creaky, curling up on his side to soak up the warmth of the fire, though all he really felt was a few withdrawing licks of light and heat on his knees. “This is months and seasons and it’s time to appreciate that we’re in France, even if we just pulled a bunch of vines to plant wheat.” It was a weird rationalization on their part, to drink in honor of the vines that were sacrificed, but who was he to argue?
