    Summary

    There was a moment of disquiet when his boot first struck pebble beach, and the slippery stones skidded under him, setting him stumbling. In that moment, he saw that one of the Low-Shore men had rope in his hands, coarse and thick as a man's wrist, unwound from the coil over his shoulder to an armspan and held at the ready like he was approaching a beast to tame.

    Though Aelius was under no illusion about his fate, that sight stopped him in his tracks: the realization that they'd come to meet him not as surrendered enemy commander, nor even the willing hostage that he was, but to yoke him as an animal.

    Surrendering under a false and temporary truce, Commander Aelius expects to spend his final days facing the brutality of a desperate enemy. Instead, life as a hostage sheds new light on a culture he was taught to disdain, even as his own people's inevitable betrayal nears.

    Summary

    He isn't pleased to wake up in his pod again, this time entirely alone. Less so that he finds himself fighting alongside a mouthy Gunnery Chief soon after. But the real kicker?
    He's three years early.
    Shepard chooses Yellow, and instead of a responsible, noble Time Traveler, the galaxy gets Javik, who still rather hates this Cycle and wishes he was never awoken. Again.

     

    "So you conveniently read minds? Read mine, then." She challenged.

    "I do not need to touch you to know you plan on trying to disarm me if I come within your reach, primitive." He wasn't nearly that gullible. "Do you have any more questions you wish to waste time with?"

    "Were you born an asshole, or was it something that happened over time?" She scowled at him.

    "Human, ask me something intelligent or I'll shoot you and go face the enemy by myself."

    Because that's what you do if you're The Man. When you send men and women out to take the risks you're no longer taking yourself, you'd better damn well keep the light burning at home. Present time/post-series, after SGA season 5.
