Story - Eternity: Ch. 1

Title: Eternity
Rating: T
Characters: Sheppard, some team, various OCs
Disclaimer: I don't own Stargate: Atlantis
Synopsis: “There are a lot of galaxies out there. Lots of worlds to explore. Things we can't possibly begin to imagine. If... if you... survive, if you make it back in our lifetime, find me, okay? Because I want to hear all about it.”

Warning: Future fic with character deaths and an OC pairing. That's right, I paired someone with an OC! But it's not so much a pairing as a deep friendship, and though it plays an important part, it is not the center of the story. This is a possible end to the adventure... and yet, is an adventure fic, because you know John would keep going until he could go no more. One tiny, possible spoiler for season five, but not really a spoiler depending on the outcome – more a brief speculation

A/N: This story is a manifestation of irony in that it contains things (as mentioned in the warning) that I thought I would not, and would not ever want, to write. It quite surprised me, it really did, the hold this story had on me. Tightest hold of any story since my first completed original fic. So I ask you, kind reader – whatever your stand on future fics, AUs and character deaths – that you might give this story a chance.

Finally, I would like to thank

wildcat88 and coolbreeze1 for betaing and pointing out inconsistencies.
