WIP 1/2: H50/SGA fusion - Away From This Place
This is for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
somehowunbroken and is very loosely based on a prompt she gave me. It's a story about Steve and Danny from Hawaii 5-0 but it takes place in the Stargate: Atlantis universe, post-series.
This part: rated teen for imagery, 528 words
Spoilers: potentially some very general season 5 SGA and season 1 H50 spoilers
Warnings / Keywords (highlight to read): off-screen miscarriage, disturbing dream imagery involving infants, weirdness with rambling and tenses - and for what was originally conceptualized as a PWP, this has an awful lot of angst
Eventually slash and a higher rating
- part 1 a -
Danny's new to Atlantis, and he misses home an awful lot. There's certainly stuff he likes about being on Atlantis, too, though, and they wouldn't have sent him if he didn't want to go. Unless he'd been a pretty good liar during the screening process, and Danny's emotions are too close to the surface for that to ever be a possibility.
So yeah, he's excited about the opportunities that come from being in another galaxy and all. It's just, it's possible to be a Marine and be stationed at Cheyenne Mountain and still do really cool stuff but also be able to go home at the end of the day, to get to experience restaurants and shopping malls and movie theaters, and they'd offered him a posting there too, but.
Atlantis will look really good on his resume once the promised declassification hits, is the reason he gives himself for why he's here. But mostly he's running away from a marriage that fell apart in the wake of a miscarriage. If he's gonna be having sleepless nights, the Lucian Alliance just doesn't cut it as an alternative reason why.
The Wraith, though. There's something so organically terrifying about them that distracts him, just enough. His dreams change; over the span of months wombs turn into cocoons, bassinets and nurseries become living ships, and dying screaming babies are replaced with men growing impossibly old and crumbling into dust.
It's better this way.
And it's even better once he becomes friends with some of the other Marines. Some of them were really friendly from the start but it's taken him a bit to feel like he can safely talk about anything other than duty rotations and C-4. But now it's slowly started to happen, started to feel like Atlantis might be home.
- part 1 b -
Steve likes his commanding officers, he really does. He came to Atlantis when Lorne did, and Lorne's a cool guy, but Sheppard's the coolest. While some of Steve's appreciation for him comes from his smirk, his laid-back slouch and his eternal middle finger raised to danger of any kind, a lot of it comes from the fact that Sheppard's never cared who you fuck as long as you keep your head in the game.
Steve's really good at keeping his head in the game. He's really pretty fantastic at fucking, too, but he's had less of a chance to do the latter for a while since the most recent shit with the Wraith started. Todd's hives took the updated retrovirus and entered into a treaty with Atlantis, which was incredible, but the hives that resisted the not-feeding idea struck back hard. Todd is down to a pitiful few Wraith now thanks to the campaign against his hives, and cullings have started to be supplemented with attacks of pure spite.
All in all they've lost a ship and way too many of their own people. They've seen too many villages burned to the ground and too many villagers dead in the dirt, their faces still full of youth in the places not scorched away.
And that's only so far.
