***** Chapter 1 *****

Elizabeth woke up and opened her eyes. Everything around her was dark and she couldn’t see anything. A terrible headache made her close her eyes for a moment, before she slowly opened them again. Her whole body was trembling and cold shivers ran along her spine. She didn’t remember were she was or how she had gotten here. However, she knew for sure she wasn’t in a familiar environment; considering the cold and moist dirt beneath her body. Moving her limbs was painful and made her more aware of the wet clothes stuck to her body. Her back was benumbed from the cold ground. In addition, a flow of freezing air enfolded around her and a few droplets of cold rain fell on her face. Carefully she moved her hands to her face and wiped the droplets away. With her fingertips, she scanned the surface of her skin. Her normal smooth face was covered with scratches and a large cut on the left side of her forehead could explain the cause for the headache. She had no clue on how serious the injury to her head was, but it had to be extensive. How else would she not remember a thing about what had happened to her.

*** Chapter 1 ***

Colonel John Sheppard, Dr. Rodney McKay and Teyla Emmagan were sitting in a puddle jumper flying in a low orbit around a planet. Dr. Weir had sent the team to this planet to perform some initial survey scans. The team regularly made scans of planets looking for interesting civilizations or technology. After evaluating the scans, Dr. Weir would decide whether to send in another team to do a more detailed investigation.

Colonel John Sheppard sat behind the controls. In addition to flying, he periodically checked the scanner to see if there was anything worth investigating on this planet. Teyla, sitting in the co-pilot’s chair next to Sheppard, was starting to get impatient. They had been flying around the planet for what seemed like days and yet they had not found any sign of a current or past civilization nor had they found any sign of technology.

Sheppard turned around to look at McKay who appeared busy. McKay sat in the back of the jumper and used the controls in front of him to scan and record all kinds of random information about this planet. He continued to press buttons and did not notice that Sheppard was watching him. With an exaggerated sigh, Sheppard turned back to his own survey screens.

Chapter 1

The Stargate deactivated after Ronon stepped from the puddle of water. He was the last person to set foot on the planet. John had taken the lead stepping through the gate from Atlantis, closely followed by Teyla, Rodney and finally Ronon. Their boots had completely sunken in the thick layer of snow that covered the planet. The MALP had already shown they needed warm clothes for this mission, but somehow the temperature felt less cold then it actually was. Of course, Rodney had tried to take every precaution to avoid getting any part of his body exposed to the cold. Only his face emerged from deep under his hood. Underneath he wore a hat and he had even made it possible to wear two set of gloves on his hands.

Pairing: John/Elizabeth
Beta: Heimedall
Warnings: Mild Adult theme
Summary: A bag of goodies, a sky of stars and a surprise for both of them.
Prompt: Red & Satin

Among the stars

Elizabeth checked that everything was in order, a bottle of good red wine, some exotic snacks, a wrapped gift of course and almost midnight. A satisfied expression covered her face as she placed the items in her backpack and strapped it on her back. John had offered her several times to go out at night and watch the stars together, but up until tonight she had not found the right moment to claim his expertise on the night sky. Tonight however, things would be differently. She looked around the room to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything before she walked to the door.

The door of Elizabeth’s room opened and she stepped outside. This late at night, almost everyone who wasn’t on duty would be in their room, making the trip to John’s room swift and without delays. If she was lucky, she wouldn’t run into anyone. It was not forbidden to visit friends or anything, but if people saw her go to John’s room this late there would be unwanted and not to mention unnecessary gossip. With a smile on her face, she turned along the main hallway and gave a relieved sigh before she started walking.

*****

For a few seconds Elizabeth stood motionless in front of John’s door. Nerves were crawling down her spine, making her legs tremble slightly. She thought over her spontaneous action and had to tell herself once more that it was okay and she could just press the control panel. It was all for a good cause. In less then an hour John would have his birthday and she was going to be the first to congratulate him. Her hand moved to the control panel and the chime inside the room announced her presence.

Final version, but still incomplete, sorry...

Chapter 1 - Worn-out

Elizabeth sat deeply crumpled in the chair behind her desk. She had been sitting in her office for hours and stared blankly at her laptop. She moved her hand on the mouse and instantly the screensaver vanished. Her mail program was active and she started scanning the huge list of unread e-mails, but not really reading the words scrolling on the screen. She paused and closed the program.

For minutes Elizabeth gazed at the background on the screen, it showed a beautiful sunset, the ocean colored in an orange gradient by the sun sinking behind the horizon. A couple of palm trees made the picture look exotic, while the stars in the sky made it look forged. There was still far too much sunlight to actually show stars, but she didn’t care.

Elizabeth dreamed her way into the picture, forgetting about all the work that she had to do and just imagined how nice it would be to lay there on the beach with a good book. Letting the last sunrays warm her skin, the soft ocean breeze cool her body again and her feet covered with warm sand. In her fantasy a man walked out of the ocean, although she could not clearly see his face, she knew who it was. Small glittering droplets of water slowly ran down along his chest onto his abdomen. When he was close enough, he shook some of the droplets teasingly on her belly and his smirk made her melt. He pressed his wet body against hers, after which they ended up in a breathtaking kiss.

Elizabeth closed her eyes and was brutally awakened by Rodney’s voice, “No, I need the extra time to monitor the experiment. I have spent the last two nights setting it up and it needs my attention. I’m sure we can delay the mission for a day.”

I was told I should have an about me topic, telling something about myself. Well, here it is :)

My name is Nicole, I am 29 years and life in Lelystad, The Netherlands.

I work as a SAP HR consultant for a small company named HuRis (http://www.huris.nl). They are specialized in SAP HR solutions.

My hobbies: Writing of course. I have been writing for many years in Dutch. Unfortunatly I never finished a story yet. Recently I started Writing Stargate Atlantis Fanfics. I have many plots in draft version, but since I do have a job I can only complete a few.

When writing I choose the music I listen too while writing depending on the type of story and the intensity of the plot. The variety consists of Enigma, Era, Dune, ATB, Robert Miles, Within Temptation, Sarah Brightman and I recently added some Rammstein, David Gray and Amy MacDonalds. A strange mixture, I know...

Other hobies I have are watching movies and series on dvd, mostly SF related. I like playing World of Warcraft (char: TheKeeper on European servers Eonar, Teneras and Shattered Halls).
