There Must Have Been Some Magic by Kath Tate (PG)
Title: There Must Have Been Some Magic
Fandom: Terminator / Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Pairing: Kyle/Sarah
Rating: PG
Length: short
Author on LJ: Kath Tate
Author Website: Three Insomniacs
Why this must be read:
This is probably more Terminator AU than T:SCC, but when you have timelines like this fandom has... well, this is one way that it could have worked out, in one timeline.
I present to you, the only Christmas Terminator story I've read. But, I would have recced it anyway. It's beautifully written and it provides a glimpse into just what Sarah gave up to become the woman she became. Even more, this fic gives us a glimpse of Kyle Reese, who is the Father of All Destiny as much as Sarah is it's mother.
This will be my last rec before Christmas, but I'll be back with at least a few more next week! Happy Holidays!
Kyle Reese, Sergeant/Tech Com DN38416, was a husband and a father. But he was first and foremost a soldier with a mission. Granted, he hadn't fully grasped the long range requirements when he'd signed on, but he doubted that knowing them would have changed his decision. As a soldier he was conditioned to adapt to his environment. He had known deprivation and hardship, everything from battle wounds to illness to hunger. He had fought a relentless foe and survived. He'd been willing to lay down his life for a cause in which he believed strongly and for a woman he loved more than anything else.
Yet none of his experiences had prepared him for life in the prewar society. Nothing he'd heard about the history of mankind included information about late twentieth century lifestyle. He had not expected the callous indifference to the greater good in favour of individual power. Neither had he any comprehension of random acts of kindness. The oscillation between these two opposing trends often left him baffled and unnerved.
