Fic: Spread Like Wildfire (John/Elizabeth)

[xfirefly9x]

Title: Spread Like Wildfire
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters: John/Elizabeth
Prompt: #003 Rule/ruler
Word Count: 227
Rating: T+
Summary: To Atlantis and to the outside world, Elizabeth and John were no more.
Notes: Written for 50_darkfics. Alternate ending to “The Long Goodbye” (my favourite-st SGA ep!) :)

It was official.

Elizabeth Weir and John Sheppard were lost to them forever and Phoebus and Thalan had permanent control over their bodies.

Atlantis would be under new command as soon as the Daedalus was able to inform the SGC and report back with directions on who was to be in charge.

The overall consensus expected Colonel Caldwell to be their new leader, as he had stepped in when Dr Weir and Colonel Sheppard were compromised, but nothing had been confirmed as of yet. The majority of the city was far too overwhelmed to care anyway.

Rumours had spread like wildfire about exactly what had happened, most of it further from the truth than Earth was to Atlantis. Many were mourning and although they did still have Elizabeth/Phoebus and John/Thalan’s bodies, any hope to reverse the transfers of consciousness had been obliterated.

Phoebus had managed to access the stasis pods before the scientists had learned anything of use and had readjusted all of the settings before she’d finally, for good measure, shot at the control panel and dismantled it. Even Rodney had confirmed it was unfixable.

There was no way to be certain that they were even still alive and their technology was too primitive in comparison to access their consciousnesses if they were.

To Atlantis and to the outside world, Elizabeth and John were no more.
