The Best-Laid Schemes of Mice and Men, by Audrey Lynne [sickness challenge]

[audreyscastle.livejournal.com]

Title: The Best-Laid Schemes of Mice and Men
Author: Audrey Lynne
Pairing: None (gen)
Rating: PG
Summary: Elizabeth takes Carson's gene therapy. Things don't go as expected.
Spoilers: Through "Poisoning the Well"

Author's notes: This story is spawned by some of my own fascination with genetics, a bit of meta speculation on the ATA gene, and my musings about the limitations of the gene therapy. I've been meaning to write this for awhile, but the SGA Flashfic "sickness" challenge spurred me to get on it. The title, of course, is from a well-known Robert Burns quote--"The best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley." It seemed appropriate, as Burns was a Scottish poet; "gang aft agley" is, of course, more commonly translated as "often go awry." This story takes place shortly after the first-season episode "Poisoning the Well," spoilers up to and through that episode. And, yeah, a fic intended to meet a 1,000 word fic challenge goes 8,500 words--what word limit? We don't need no stinking word limit! Consider yourselves lucky...this fic is short by my standards! Scary, no?

Folow the fake-cut the webpage to read (LJ won't let me do it all in one post, pooh.)

(Carson Beckett looked back over his shoulder briefly to offer his patient a smile before he finished prepping a syringe to deliver a dose of the ATA gene therapy.)
