Elysium by Rigil Kent (PG-13)
Fandom: STAR TREK ENTERPRISE
Pairing: Reed/Sato, T'Pol/Tucker
Author on LJ: No
Author Web site: No, but here's his Author Profile At Warp 5
Warnings: deathfic, futurefic; assumes 4.22 "These Are The Voyages..." never happened, so in that sense, AU
Why this must be read: The author's plot summary is, "The Romulan war begins with a single battle." This ensemble piece, a description of that battle, flows wonderfully from one POV to another, linked by a word or a thought. Enterprise is under attack, and a shuttlepod containing Tucker, T'Pol, and several other crew members is shot down and struggles to make repairs before the aggressors return. But the plot—a move from crisis to crisis—is subsumed to character, from the usual suspects (Archer, Reed, Sato, Mayweather) to a MACO to Kelby, all with unique insights, hopes, and desires that flash through their minds as they deal with the crisis.
It was time, Malcolm realized. He keyed the intraship comms and spoke words he never wanted to hear, let alone speak. "All hands, prepare to abandon ship."
