Why this must be read:

I've decided to have a Sark Day, so I have a couple of great fics in mind that star our favorite British bad boy.

This story was written between seasons 1 and 2, if memory serves, and goes AU after the first season finale. I remember thinking at the time that it was one of the bleackest views of Sydney's future I'd read--at least the beginning--but even for my happy-ending-loving heart, completely believable.

It was also one of the first Sarkney (Sark/Sydney) stories, if not the first, and it's still a favorite. I love that neither Sark nor Sydney attempt to deny the mistakes they've made or the horrible things they've done. No whitewashing or denial. They do them, they accept them, they live with the nightmares.

Nothing happens the way you imagine it.

This is just another example.


If you like Rach's style, like all the other authors I've recommended, she has a lot to offer. She's written Will and Will/Sydney, too, as well as a host of original and smaller characters.
