Everything Has Changed

by soraya li

Inspired by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran's song "Everything Has Changed". This story explores both John and Elizabeth's thoughts during the episodes "Rising Parts 1 & 2," "The Storm," and "The Eye." This story was written in celebration of my first Sparktober. Sparky, Sheppard/Weir

2. Chapter 2

"You realize that could get us into all sorts of trouble, right?" asked John.

Elizabeth simply nodded.

When John looked at Elizabeth as they leaned over the balcony's railing, he could not help feeling like they already had a connection, even though they just met less than 1 week ago. Elizabeth had made him drop his guard, and the walls he usually kept around his heart were gone. They were shed like the water from the ocean as Atlantis rose from the sea.

Elizabeth felt like she had known John forever. She had already figured out that John had a penchant for attracting trouble. She felt butterflies in her stomach, which were accompanied by a weird tingling feeling crawling up her spine from the unexpected sense of connection she shared with John in that moment. She felt relieved he had returned safely from the Wraith ship. She had a feeling that they would work very well together leading their people on Atlantis.
