Life Is But A Dream by Brix (R)

Fandom: ALIAS
Pairing: Sydney/Sark
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] shadesofbrixton
Author's Website: Alias Fanfiction
Why this must be read:

As a fan of AU stories, I was pleased to find one in this fandom that is so well done. After trying to deal with the trauma of her missing two years, Sydney wakes up to find herself in a completely different world. A world where, among other things, she is not a spy.

But my favorite things in this story is the relationship between Sydney and Sark. While we'd all like to see him redeemed, the truth is that in canon, Sark is a bit of a sociopath and may be past the point of change. With AU as a device, we can get a glimpse of a Sark that is functional and normal and completely throwing Sydney out of whack. It's fascinating to watch her struggle to reconcile the Sark in this world to the cold, hard Sark she knows.
