Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate: Atlantis. It is owned by Sci Fi (Sy Fy) and MGM. No infringement is intended and no profit is being made.
Spoilers: Through First Strike, but Sunday never happened.
Time Line: AU season 4 where Sunday and Adrift/Lifeline never happened, but it does sort-of stick to other canon events.
Character(s): Elizabeth Weir
Pairing(s): John/Elizabeth
Word Count: 7,717
Author's Note: This started life as a
House/SGA crossover about Elizabeth and Cuddy being friends, but it went somewhere else entirely. It just seemed easier to eliminate the crossover aspect, but the original character in here is, well, Cuddy. Technically, there are spoilers for
House season five storylines. Special thanks to
trinity6788,
hihoplastic, and
pixilove66 for being patient with me for the last six(-ish) months, and convincing me not to toss this in the recycle bin after section four. The title is stolen from a line in the Tori Amos song
Concertina. The summary is said line.
Note: In the third section, the paragraph with the cheek-kiss greeting was written by
hihoplastic with minor modifications made by me afterward, because I could not figure out how to write that and she is, clearly, a genius.
