Title: A thousand Things
By: moominlady
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir
Rating: PG
Summary: 'Seeing her in that bed... he thinks that maybe he should have listened to her.'
Authors notes: Thanks to mizz_magenta for the beta. And to lamichelle for the Semi-beta :P (and also to blowersgatefor giving me the idea.)

Spoilers: Season 3 finale "First Strike". Haven't seen it? Don't read it :P

He sits there silently. Watching…waiting.

He says nothing.

She looks beautiful, he thinks. Even as the cuts and the bruises mar her face… she looks beautiful.

He takes her hand gently, stroking the back of it with his thumb, as if trying to calm her even in the deepest sleep. He almost doesn’t want her to wake up. Almost.

He wonders if it would be selfish of him to want to spare her the pain, the uncertainty of when she does wake up. And wake she will… Keller assures him of this. The damage her brain received has lessened in the days following her fall and it is only a matter of time, she tells him. She doesn’t go into the specifics of Elizabeth’s injuries. She sees the pain and the guilt on his face as he remembers, and knows that he doesn’t really need to know.

He thinks he should have listened to her. Knows he should have done a thousand things to change what happened.

A weak, broken moan breaks him from his thoughts. Elizabeth was waking. He tightens his hold on her hand. “Elizabeth?”

Her eyes stay closed, screwed shut, struggling against the pain.

“Elizabeth?” he says gently. “Elizabeth, can you hear me?”

Her eyes still closed, she turns her head slightly toward him. “John?” comes her broken, strangled reply.

He continues to stroke the back of her hand, reassuringly “Hey,” he smiles, “Welcome back”

Reaching over, he grabs a small cup of water and then holds it to her lips. “Here.”

Sipping the water, she sighs and relaxes slightly, her hand tightening briefly around his. Gently pulling his hand away from hers, he begins to rise. “I’m just going to get Dr. Keller over here, okay?”

“Please.” She struggles, swallowing, “Stay with me.”

In that moment, he realises that he’s never seen her look so frail, so weak. He can’t leave her. He won’t leave her.

Sitting back down, he leans closer, taking her hand in his once more. A movement that seems so natural to him now. He watches as she begins to open her eyes slowly, blinking rapidly. She frowns. “Why is it so dark in here?” she asks faintly, her eyes darting, searching.

He frowns too, then. “Elizabeth, it’s--” He stops. “Lizabeth… look at me.” She turns her head, looking in his direction but not looking at him.

“John, I can’t… I can’t see you” The panic was rising in her voice, her eyes still searching. “I can’t see anything!”

Something in him dies in that moment. As the realisation hits at what she’s saying, he can’t breathe. He is frozen as he watches the fear take over her… eyes wide and brimming with unshed tears, threatening to fall. He has no idea how to fix this. For the first time in his life, he feels utterly helpless, watching her as she chokes out a sob, the tears finally trickling down her cheeks. He is only broken out of his paralysis when she grabs helplessly for him, calling his name. It's his fault this has happened, and that's something he'll have to live with. Something he can't change. So he'll do the only thing he can for her.

“Elizabeth -” He takes the hands that are gripping his arms and lifts them to his face,
placing them on his cheeks and covering them with his own, letting her feel the four day old beard he now holds, letting her know that she’s not alone. “Elizabeth, I’m here, it’s okay.”

The tears are running down her face and she tries to catch her breath but she’s crying too much. And his own eyes are brimming in the knowledge that he cannot help her now. This is something that he can’t change. He can’t fly off in a Jumper and fix this.

Her fingers are flittering over his face, tracing his hairline, his ears and then sliding down to his jaw. She tries to calm herself, taking deep breaths but she’s still crying. “John, oh God, I--”

He takes his own hands and rests them on her face for a moment. “Shh, it’s okay… it’s gonna be okay.” he tells her. His right hand reaches up to smooth down her hair while his left thumb wipes away the tears that stain her cheek.

He leans further over to her so his face is inches from hers, her hands dropping to his shoulders. His hand drifts from her hair to the back of her neck and pulls her forward until their foreheads are resting together.

“It’s okay,” he whispers. “I’m here, I’m not going anywhere.” Her eyes close and her cries subside, reduced now to shaken breaths that brush against his lips.

“I’m here, Elizabeth. I’m here.” He breathes.

He knows he should have listened to her. Knows he should have done a thousand things to change what happened.

Thankyou Mr Chuck Campbell!

It's official. Torri makes things Canon. :D

My con report...

2007-02-05T23:24:22Z

Ok, so not much of a 'report' Because those of you who know me well enough, know that I'm completely useless at remembering things off the bat. The best way for me to remember things is by people asking me questions. So this post is gonna be more of a con... account of events. :P

First off, I was so late in getting into Nottingham to meet mizz_magenta at the train station. So I was rushing through town, grabbing something to eat and when I went down I was waiting, munching on my food until I saw this person looking at me. It was Sally! So we walked through town, grabbed some cookies, grabbed some Chai Tea's from Starbucks and headed to my Car.
Drive down was fun. We talked about almost everything! From fics, Ship, RL, more ship, possible things that could happen in First Strike, Season 4. Just the usual.

Anyway we got to London and met up with Kelly. We went down into the foyer and there was a huge queue for David Hewlett photo ops. It was CRAZY! Needless to say, they all sold out before we got there.

Kelly and I went to the Meet&Greet on the friday night. And Kelly was sitting next to the seat that is left reserved for the guest and she didn't want to sit there! So we swapped. The guests came out one at a time. I can't remember in which order but we had Dan Payne, Ryan Robbins (who is cute!), Aaron Douglas was a suprise guest, Ivy Isenberg, then we had another suprise guest... and who did it turn out to be? CHUCK! The Chucknician!. Anyway :P
We had Erin Chambers, Kate Hewlett who is just such a lovely, amazing person. She's so sweet! We then had the people who write the Stargate novels, David Nykl! *hugs* and David Hewlett.
I swear, I've never heard people scream so loud when he came out. I don't think he realises how popular he is. Apparently, wolf have never completely sold out for a convention unil this one. And people from wolf told us that there wern't actually enough photo tickets for everyone attending. It was amazing.
So the guests came round to our table, Each one was so sweet. Erin Chambers looked at me and asked me if she'd seen me before. It was the first time I'd met her but she was convinced that we'd met before *lol* David Nykl was sweet as usual. He's really getting into the spirit of cons now compaired tot he first time we'd met.
Chuck came round to our table and asked us what we were looking forward to in season 4. We said that we were looking forward to his character finally getting a name. So I then shouted "CHUCK!" :P He laughed and said that actually, something funny like that happend in a scene that he and Torri were filming. He said it was torward the end of season 3 and that when they shouted action, he walked into Weir's office and torri looked up and saud "Hi Chuck". He said she just looked at him like she never even said it! So he carried on with the scene as normal and when they were finished, the director didn't even ask for a re-take. That they kept it in! He didn't know if it was in the final cut but he's hoping they did. And that thanks to Torri, he now has a name *LOL*
Dan Payne was just...lush. I mean that guy is just... Lush!
Ryan Robbins is cute as hell. :D
And when we met David, he told us about how he wasn't feeling well before the con and that Jane made him eat Oysters. and he kept saying that she gave him a "Dodgy Oyster" *LOL*
The best thing about that night was when this lovely old man came and sat down and asked us how we all were.
He then said to us that his daughter was marrying David.

It was Jane's dad and David's future Dad in law :D

He then brought out two pictures for us. One of him in his guest rol in 'The game' And the other picture was of him standing infront of the Stargate on the Atlantis set with Jane on one side and David on the other. I really can't say how sweet Jane's dad is. And I never knew that Jane is English. Go David for marrying a Brit! :D:P

We went to see Sally after and then headed off to the party. There was mucho dancing and drinking. I think we ended up going to bed at around 3am...ish? *LOL* I didn't actually get to sleep until around 4.30 I think and we had to get up at 6am.

The talks on Saturday were amazing. It's all just a blur right now. Me and Sally went to get our pictures with Dan and he picked me up! He grabbed me and picked me up! And he swung me round. :P Then he picked up Sally, and she should be so proud for getting her photo done with him when she was so nervous! :P

People should ask me questions about the talks since I can't reel stuff off right now. :)

We managed to get a photo ticket with David for the Sunday. We were so lucky. And you know what. I feel kinda privileged because when we went for the photo with him, the camera guy had to change films when I walked up so I was standing there with David. He asked me if it was ok if he went to get a drink. And I said yes, of course. Now, It turns out that most of David's Family were at the con. Not only Kate but their other sister, her husband and their child. And they were all sitting behind the camera watching. So when he went to get a drink, he went to his baby nephew and started pulling funny faces to him. It was so sweet! And when David came back, I was jst saying how sweet the baby was. He laughed and said that I'd be giggling all through their photo now. So, because he said that, I did start giggling and I said that his nephew was so sweet and he laughed. I can't believe how I managed to stop giggling enough to actually take that photo. I look quite normal. but David has this funny smile on his face. I'll scan the pic :P

Kelly and I got to witness the Hewlett/Loughman family portrait too while we were waiting for Kate. All the Family sat in for a picture. With David holding his Nephew on his lap. I can't tell you how sweet that was! I just wish I could have taken a photo for you all to see. And to see David and Jane holding hand was so cute! I'm so happy for them both. And I told David so while I was getting his auto. :P

The talks on Sunday were fantastic. David and Kate on stage together was so funny! They just kept taking the piss out of each other! David Nykl and Chuck Campbell on stage together was amazing. Some asked them if they had to be a piece of equipment on the show, what would they be. Chuck said he's want to be a vibrator! Don't ask. ;)

Dan Payne took his shirt off. Nuff said. :P

Ryan Robbins was being slated for pacing too much on stage. No one could get a photo of him because of it. So he started to run across for the fun of it. Untill someone came on the stage with some tape and stuck his feet down *dies*

Erin Chambers. She's so tiny! And she has a wonderful singing voice. :D

The auction was hilarious. Most of them were on stage and just having a laugh. Chuck was trying to up the price of a picture by rubbing himself all over it. I think David Hewletts comment to that was "I think I'm a little pregnant" :D

A signed picture of David and Kate went for something like £400. Kate couldn't believe it! The shock on her face was priceless. David was all like "This isn't an auction, it's a blood bath!"

For anyone who's seen 'A Dog's Breakfast' will know what this means... most of us were given some toothbrushes and a duck for David. :P

Erm... wow. There's so much more but I really can't think of anything else to put right now. It's so late and I'm still way too tired.

And one last thing. David was telling us about he fact that he's always being goofy right up until they start filming a scene. He said that some people need a few minutes to calm down and get into a role but he doesn't. And he was joking about he fact that it always puts Joe and Torri off because they're always like "What the?! Are we filming yet?" *LOL*

Questions people, questions! :D

Hey Guys.

After having some time to think about it, and a few conversations I had with people over the weekend, I've decided to make my LJ a friends only site.

I'll keep all non fandom related ramblings public of course, but everything fandom related is gonna be private. I have my own reasons for doing this - Non of them as a result of anything bad happening However, my reasons are my own. Basically, I just don't think some people want to hear about my fandom rants and vice versa.

So yea, This is a friends on LJ from... now! *cuts red tape*

Finally!

JACK!!!!

Oh, how I miss Jack. And it's not until you see him back on after so long that you realise just how much you miss him. That you realise how much Sg1 has changed since he left, and not for the better.
The interaction between Jack and Daniel was just as funny and amazing as it used to be. Just watching them together makes me laugh so much. I realise that it just that on it's own that made me enjoy the show completely. Just their interaction. Michael and Rick bouncing things off each other and it actually ends up staying in the final cut. I find it amazing that almost 90% of the stuff we see between the characters is Improv. They just make it up! Why? Because they work SO well together and it shows on screen.

Last nights episode was a classic IMO. Sg1 as it used to be and as it still should be.

That is all. :P

Looks like I'm off to Tesco to see if they've got any on offer...

David Nykl has been announced as a Bonus Guest for Pegasus2. Ok, I'm looking forward to this a lot more now. I want to see him and David Hewlett on stage together! Even better would be David and Paul but hey. You can't have everything now can you. :P

No actually, scrub that. I'd rather have David, Paul AND Torri on stage together. Hell, I want the whole cast! :P

It'll be nice to see Nykl again. The pictures I got from last time were all fuzzy and generally crap. :P

Well, the wind here is.... interesting.

We've got 70-80mph winds here. Flights have been grounded, there's a ship off the coast of Cornwall that's had to be evacuated because it's sinking and some poor man had been killed when a branch the size of a telegraph pole went through his front window screen. And that's not the end of the madness.

Went to the doctors on my lunch break today and just as I got there, a massive tree was uprooted by the wind and landed onto someones driveway. Luckily, no one was hurt but I'm sure the residents of that house aren't going to be too happy when they come home to find a huge tree blocking their doorway.

I just feel sorry for the BF. Being in charge of flood defence for his area is gonna be a real bitch today. Good to know that the Environment Agency has got him working for them. *hugs bf* He's a trooper.

Con Update.

2007-01-17T12:18:17Z

starbuck_85, mizz_magenta. I rang the Thistle to confirm my booking. All is good! :) I've emailed them just to check on the check-in times. I'm pretty sure it's about 2-3pm, which is when I'm hoping to be down there anyway.

Sally, if I go faster than 70 on the MW....hit me. Ok, don't hit me or I'll crash. Just prod me and remind me that my poor car is only a 1.25 and it can't handle anymore without screeching at me. :P

I need to start making a list of things I need to do:

1) Clear my memory cards of the junk that's on them now.
2) Get my big ass camera and recharge the battery on it.
3) Find sleeping bag and spare pillows.
4) Choose a bag to take that's not going to embarrass me by it's rattyness.
5) Find decent clothes that I can take in my ratty bag.
6) Find bag that I can carry around with me that's not too small that I can't fit anything in it but not too big that it's just completely ridiculous...
7) Think about taking iPod... but then don't take it since I won't have time to listen to it since I'll be with the greatest people EVAR!
8) Make sure my car likes me.
9)Think about taking previous auto's with me since I like them loads. :P But then don't in case anyone steals them... *eyes*
10) REMEMBER TO PICK UP SALLY FROM TRAIN STATION!!!
11) Remind Sally to get an alarm clock that likes her. ;)
12) Remind Sally to make it to the Train Station so I can pick her up. :P
13) Help Sally with her luggage. :)
14) If all goes well with Sally, remember to drop by Starbucks on the way to where I parked my car (in a shopping centre...) so we can have a Chai Tea Latte.
15)Chai Tea Latte is LOVE!
16) Drink Sally's Chai Tea if she doesn't like it. :P
17) Get down to London with much funnyness and no problems with pooey drivers.
18) Go to the check in desk by myself so they can't see that they're gonna be 3 of us.
19) Meet Kelly at the reception.

20) HAVE FUN! :D:D

Went a bit overboard but hey. :P

Managed to catch a little bit of 'Sunday' this morning. Didn't have time to watch the whole thing so I watched the beginning, a bit in the middle and the end scenes.

Ok,

SHEP IN DRESS BLUES!!!...sorry. :P

~Teyla having a girly chat with a random brunette after a gym session. Looks like they're heading to lunch.
~Place just went boom. Poor Teyla is wounded.
~Zip back in time, 3 hours earlier. Liz is in her office working and Mike Branton walks in and man is he HOT! I mean, he kinda looks like Olivier Martinez.
~HOT people. HOT
~It's obvious that Liz likes him. She goes to Teyla to cancel their lunch and tells her she's having lunch with Mike Branton. Teyla suddenly understands and brushes her off with a cheeky grin. She'll go spar with random brunette lady instead.
~OMG Liz looks amazing in that pale green sweater!
~Carson thinks Liz looks amazing in that pale green sweater. Asks her about her date, she goes all defensive, wanting to know who told him that. He says no-one but now he was right. He tricked her *LOL*
~She's wearing perfume for Mike.
~They're having lunch... it's quite cute actually. Talking about 'When Harry met Sally'
~He takes her to somewhere secluded. The view is beatiful! And their sitting together on a bench.
~She can't stop looking at his lips when he talks. She so likes him. :P
~Omg they kiss! Ok, it's only a little kiss but it was more than one and she didn't pull away.
~She finnally pulls away and says she can't do it. It'll split her focus.
~She gets a call. There's been an explosion.

At this point it moves to another person so I skip forward. But OMG Shep was Married?!? No wonder that didn't work out...Kirk.

And yes I know I just went into so much detail about Liz's bit but hey. Sue me. :P They were both just...hot. Alright? :D

Skip to the end Cause I'm late for work.

~OMG *cries* Carson's dead!
~The scene where Rodney is putting away Carson's stuff in his quarters. Ronan comes in I think. Lovely scene. They're getting some great scenes lately with these two. :)
~ The funeral was lovely. Liz did a lovely speech. I wanted more tears dammit!
~Bagpipes!
~SHEP IN DRESS BLUES!!!!!
~Shep gives Elizabeth a worried look as she walks to stand by him.
~Sheps worried about Elizabeth! :D:P
~They carry the coffin through the Stargate.
~Last scene. Rodney is standing on the edge of one of the piers, looking out into the ocean. Spirit!Carson comes to stand beside him. The talk they had was so lovely. I was in tears for God's sake! Rodney talks about how he was the closest friend he had. Spirit!Carson says it wasn't his fault.
~Rodney's "It's a pretty big Universe...maybe I'll see you around." And Spirit!Carson's "Ay, maybe you will." was just beautiful! *grabs tissues*
~Spirit!Carson vanishes, leaving Rodney standing alone.

End Credits.

I'm still crying. :P

You know, I had a weird day yesterday. Went to work canteen and smacked my head on the glass while trying to get a closer look at the salads they had. I swear, I didn't see the thing but everyone was there and it was so embarrassing! But to offset that, we set a whoopie cushion hidden on a chair for one of the teachers to sit on. My god, she was standing for ages talking to us before she finally sat down and we were trying so hard not to laugh. but when she did it! *LOL* We were crying so hard with laughter!! :D

We're so childish here and we're suppose to be setting an example for the kids. :P Luckily the teacher who sat on it is lovely so she saw the funny side of it. She's out for revenge though apparently. *shifty eyes*

*sigh* I forgot how much fun a whoopie cushion could be. :P:D

And I'm not gonna step foot in that canteen for at least a month... *cough*

Phew! I'm back. And back at work too.

Hope everyone had a fantastic New Year. I for one had a brilliant time at Disneyland Paris!! It's by far the best New Years ever for me. :D Everything was just perfect. The day around the park, going on all the rides, meeting all the Characters. And the evening was even better. We watched the Fairytale parade from the castle and it was awesome! The castle was all lit up and was flashing and twinkling... *sigh* The fireworks display at midnight was just amazing, coupled with the sparkling castle, flashing lights and the music. Annnnd they were giving out champaign! :P I think the only bad thing about it was the mad rush of people getting out after. It was just complete madness. And people were so rude. You know, language shouldn't be a barrier for politeness. Needless to say, the bf got a bit angry with everyone getting pushed and shoved. I've never seen him open a huge can of whupass. :P

I'm hopefully gonna have some pictures up soon when I have time. And I took a video of the castle while it was lit up so I'll try and find a way of getting that up.

Wee!

2006-12-29T16:32:00Z
