Mermaid of Atlantis by lady_lirenel

[lady-lirenel.livejournal.com]

Title: Mermaid of Atlantis
Author: lady_lirenel
Characters: Original Character, Sheppard, McKay
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I do not own Atlantis.
Summary: She first saw her beloved from a distance, as she floated upon a rolling wave.
Author’s Note: Wow, I have about 15 minutes to post this before the challenge ends. This fic is betaed, by the wonderful jainanicole, who made very sure I didn’t go into the realm of Mary Sue. It was something I was very worried about, writing an original character, since I find Mary Sues anathema to life in general. Erm, also this is way past the word limit, but it's more like guidelines than an actual rule, right?
