Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[JT-2]

Oooh, I love this challenge of giving feedback on the art.

Howdy all! I took a day off of work and it improved my mood enough to want to discuss things.

Ficlet is done. Gotta PM this to mrscopterdoc.

Spoiler:

Not surprisingly, Elizabeth Weir was still working when John Sheppard walked in.

“Hey,” he greeted, leaning against the door frame.

She looked up, a glimmer of a smile flashing across her face as she replied. “Hey yourself,” she said, immediately bowing her head again.

“You had dinner yet?”

“Do I ever?”

John exhaled. “No, usually not. Which is probably the reason that Carson has resorted to sending me memos about your health.”

Elizabeth sighed. “I know he’s only looking out for my best interests, but I’m fine. By the time I’m done going through mission reports and status reports, it’s all I can do to drag myself to quarters and pass out.”

John nodded, almost ready to concede the point, until he noticed a silver tumbler on her desk. Steam was escaping, almost imperceptibly, through the spout.

He stuffed his hands in the pockets of his black uniform pants. “Seeing as how that’s probably your fifth cup of coffee today, something tells me that you’re not gonna hit the sack any time soon.”

Elizabeth shut her eyes, then closed her laptop and looked back at John. “What do you want, John?”

“Honestly, I want you to keep your job. And by that, I mean you doing this and not me because you’re not taking any breaks.”

Elizabeth leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms. “I took a break this evening. Ask Chuck.”

“Bathrooms breaks don’t count.”

Elizabeth grunted.

“I just want you to come out to the balcony for five minutes, and then you can work until your hands fall off.”

She gave him a suspicious glare. “For what?”

“No questions, just come with me for a few minutes. That's all I ask."

Elizabeth frowned. "Five minutes."

"Not a second more."

She got up and followed him out, walking behind Chuck's station towards the sliding doors.

When they got there, she was surprised that they weren't alone.

Rodney McKay, Teyla, Carson, and even Ronon stood on the balcony. When they heard the doors open, they turned slightly to face them. Teyla smiled. "I'm glad that you were able to make it, Elizabeth."

She smiled awkwardly. "Made it for what?"

Behind her, John leaned his head inside. "Hit it, Chuck."

A question formed in her mind as the door shut behind them but was silenced as the reflection of the city's lights on the water began to dim.

John tapped his earpiece. "Looks good, Chuck. Sheppard out."

"All right, what's going on?" Elizabeth finally asked, looking at every person standing next to her for an answer.

McKay spoke up. "So earlier today, I was doing a calibration on the long range sensors and I noticed a large debris cloud that intersected with the planet's orbit. Probably left over from a destroyed asteroid or a comet or maybe even a small moon. You know, it's actually interesting--"

"McKay," John hissed through grated teeth.

McKay gave him his patented glare, then looked back at Elizabeth. "The debris cloud should be coming in contact with the atmosphere ... now."

The sky suddenly flashed.

Elizabeth stared at the sky, making her way to the railing. A fireball streamed across the sky, followed by three smaller ones that quickly burnt out. The sky seemed to fizzle as the dust made contact with the outer atmosphere, looking like a golden wave. Shooting stars flooded the night sky.

She gasped. "This is amazing," she murmured, more to herself than anyone.

John's voice suddenly whispered in her ear. "Worth leaving your office for more than five minutes?"

"Yes," she immediately replied before narrowing her eyes. "You said five minutes, no longer."

"Children, stop bickering and enjoy the bloody show," Carson whispered sharply, effectively shutting them up.

For five seconds.

"Yes, Dad."

Elizabeth punched him in the arm.

OMG, that was perfect and adorable and perfect.

First entry for this week's challenge!!!

I want everyone to take a moment to admire and comment on this lovely, wonderful entry that this brave soul entered. Remember the golden rule....say things that you would like to hear on your artwork.



I will collect all comments made, and post them with the artwork, and reveal who they belong to on Monday.

I love how flawlessly all the pictures are intertwined. I can never make pictures fade/meld together well like that. I might want to pick this person's brain afterwards.

There were plenty of comments made on the first entry and it.was.awesome!!!

I have 2 more entries so far after this one, but I am only posting one at a time to make sure everyone has a chance to comment. So please don't be upset if you don't see your submission this time, I promise I will get to it!


Here is entry #2

spoilered ONLY because it is a complete set and there are several pictures and one is large size...

Spoiler:

Oooh, pretty. I like the 3 pictures being in a series, in the way he turns his head around.

[mandogater]

Or maybe the one where they stashed the Ark of the Covenant at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Anything is possible.

Now if we only had a high enough security clearance.

I will be extending the challenge for a few days at least, I have a few more entries so if you have not entered.....you have time!!!

[Nolamom]

That is a wonderful little scene - full of character definition

[ShipperWriter]

I like that fic too.

[mandogater]

Know anyone good at forgeries? (joking)

Sorry. No forgers or hackers on my friends and family plan. (more joking)

[Nolamom]

Forgers and hackers - sooo not welcome

[zbir]

Ref.the fan fic: It was lovely written, and it was so great because it was about the team. I loved the deep sensors explanation, and all of their banter!
But the sparky in me kind of hoped he was going to propose her, under the meteor shower
Great job, nevertheless
(I will continue the scene inside my head )

[mrscopterdoc]

Got another entry for the challenge!!

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Lazy Sunday!

I like it! It feels like Kate is keeping watch over the entire city and protecting it, both as a NYPD detective and as Castle's fiancee.
