Penitent

AU branching off from "The Long Goodbye"

rating: R
pairings: oh, take your pick. If you're fond of any combination of Teyla/Rodney/Ronon/John, you'll probably find it lurking around, to one degree of explicitness or another. Though I wouldn't call it OT4, exactly.

author's notes: WARNING for CHARACTER DEATH. Dig? D-E-D, dead! He's not just resting his eyes, folks. I originally began this for the flashfic Villains challenge, but I decided it didn't quite fit the theme. Nevertheless, it's still not a story meant for sensitive plants. Unofficial soundtrack = the Suzanne Vega song by the same title.

"It wasn't your fault."

Oh, Teyla. There are so many things about this story that I really like, from its use of one of my favorite characters to its acceptance that one must sometimes make a terrible choice and then find a way to acknowledge the results. Watching Teyla grow back to herself wasn't easy, exactly, but it was very satisfying.
