new fic: Radio Nowhere

[hth]

So...I started last week with First Thaw (SPOILERS for "Quarantine" thataway), and now I have this, and I sort of feel like it's a series now, in that it seems to be going somewhere. I DO NOT KNOW, at this point, where exactly that might be. I honestly don't. This will either be a fascinating exercise in writing adaptively and creatively to the contours of seasons 4 and 5 as they come up -- or it'll be a complete fucking disaster and I'll never write without an outline again until the day I die. We'll see!

Radio Nowhere
post-ep, 4.15 "Outcast"
oh -- and also, spoilers for Cloverfield. Random but true.

Oh, God, she SO IS! I was thinking when I saw the ep of Katha Pollitt's new book of personal essays about the breakup of her partnership and how strong, feminist women get fucked up by bad relationships with the wrong man and try to cope with it. Particularly, I was thinking about her chapter about Google-stalking her ex, trying to figure out this person who turned out to be not at all the person she thought she knew -- and I just thought, yeah, that's exactly what Nancy's doing. She's *Google-stalking* her ex, only with Homeland Security clearance. It still drives her nuts that she doesn't know who he is, that he isn't who she thought, that she can't put the pieces together and she can't let go. Even though she has a new man now, there's just part of her that's not *done* yet with her relationship with John, that just can't walk away.

Sometimes I fear this is the INEVITABLE FATE of all the many good people who fall for Sheppard. Sigh.
