Finally, the dark!fic is done.
Title: Hospitality
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Rating: R
Warnings: Abuse - physical and sexual. Killing. Brainwashing. General bastardry. Death. A little gore. A few bad words, but if you can't cope with that...
Further notes in the linked post.
As the divergences - a selection of alternate endings - are in the comments, I ask that if you choose to feedback (and please do) you do so in this post. Right here. 'k?
And now, I really need to sleep.

Uh....
(Anonymous) 2005-06-06 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)Some of these endings are so sad ::sniffle::. All are very good though in the way you explore the emotions going on with Rodney and if/when the others remember what the did.
I'm afraid I'm not being very coherent, but there were so many great endings and I'm still trying to process them all.

Oh and if your wondering, I followed the link to this from Wraithbait.

Really cool concept and very imaginative (and depraved!!) alternate endings.

God, so many different paths and even though you've managed to work through most of the permutatios that *I* can think of, I loved that feeling of untapped possibility. I just get the feeling that there's so much *more* that could be written and it would all still be original and twisty and *good*.
Short version: OMGLOVE!
;o))))

this was fabulous!
And seriously, what a clever use of LJ threading to back in and out of the story time!

I read this once before, when it was just the initial post without all the threads, and enjoyed the dry despair. But I love this even more now with all the shutter-snap nightmares dangling below it (if a word like "love" is apppropriate for something so grim).

This was very well done -- the kernel story itself was stark and spare, and it would have stood on its own, but then there was the web of possibilities spreading out from there. The comments format worked really well for that, btw -- giving a visual cue of where it had branched off. I think you hit just the right tone, too -- going into lush descriptions of emotion, or how bloody much Rodney's fingers hurt, or the blanketing horror, would have weirdly *diminished* the impact. By forsaking that, and making the emotion come through in what was said and what *wasn't* said ("You are one of them." "Yes." "You broke our angel." "Yes." Nnngh), you made it stand out in sharper relief -- and I do mean sharp; this one *cuts*. I've always loved alternate-universe sci-fi, and the way you explored the possibilities, slicing them thinner and thinner, made me feel like someone was opening windows in my *brain*. Thank you!

I've read this a dozen times previously, and I've tried to think why I love it - it's got something to do with the way you've played with it, the freedom it implies as well as a willingness to be adventuresome. Just the writing itself and the story keeps me coming back - I think it's amazing - thank you.

I really liked the fic - it's something very different from what I've seen in fandom, and the divergences really worked for me.
