The End Of All Things by Celli Lane (PG)
Fandom: ALIAS
Pairing: pre-Sydney Bristow/Julian Sark

Why this must be read:
If the name of this story sounds familiar, it's because it's a quote from The Return of the King, the third in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Sark says the same line (with a slight modification) to Sydney that Frodo says to Sam.
Sydney's response to that made me laugh, as did this exchange:
He gave a half-laugh and settled next to her. "Are you a Tolkien fan, Miss Bristow?"
"Of course."
"Let me guess. Your mother read to you from the books when you were a child, and you've always loved them because of your deep association with--"
"Bite me, Sark."
It's good to see an Alias fan that can mock the melodramatic relationship Sydney has with her mother (or, really, her melodramatic life in general). Sark calling her on it is hysterical to me, mostly because I could see Sydney saying something similar about the trilogy to Francie or Will or someone in a fit of self-pity. Yes, I do love Sydney, but if I had a nickel for everytime she cried on the show, I'd be a rich woman. Great ending, and good overall. Nice subtle Sark/Sydney, with neither of them bending out of character to get to it.
It's a short story, but it makes me smile. I know that recommending Celli Lane is pretty cliche at this point, but it's warranted. Every one of her stories reads like additional scenes from the show. Supplements, instead of fanfic. Enjoy.
