To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive

All right, campers, there's a story behind this one. Over the past week, I've been trying to finish or make significant progress on no fewer than ten fics in three different fandoms. I have literally managed about five sentences on each of them, and it's driving me up a wall. So I looked through my files for something, anything, I could finish, in the hopes that it would jumpstart my writing process on things I actually wanted to finish, and I came upon this, which needed only a few paragraphs more.

I wrote about three quarters of this roughly a month after Atlantis started airing. I have not seen or really even thought about this show for...three? four? years now. So the chances of this resembling canon at all are slim. Mainly I wrote it as an exercise in finishing something, for the love of god. It does not even pretend to aspire to greatness. But hopefully it will still be amusing!

I had no intention of doing so, but somehow I ended up making icons tonight. Hmm. I haven't done this in a long time, so they aren't spectacular, but I hope you enjoy them anyway.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The last three use lyrics from my current musical obsession, a band called Hem. Go check them out at Amazon, iTunes, or their site. Songs are, in order from 3-5, "Idle (The Rabbit Song)," "Leave Me Here," and "Pacific Street." (I still want to make a Shep/Weir vid to that last one. Probably still a good thing that I don't have any programs with which to do so.)

The regular rules apply: save to your own hard drive, credit in keywords/comments, share and share alike.

I came this close to calling it "Just Beachy." HarveyNick is eeeeeevil.


DISCLAIMER: MGM owns my soul, man. So does Gekko, Universal, and anyone else with legal claim to these characters. I'm just playing around and making no money off of this.
