Unbroken by Khriskin [Dark Side Challenge]

TITLE: Unbroken
FANDOM: Stargate Atlantis
LENGTH/RATING: 100 words, PG-13, Gen
SUMMARY: When you ask for help, be careful who you ask. (Semi-Evil!Atlantis... again. *sighs* I blame my Muse)

It killed them, again and again. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Sometimes at the claws of an enemy, sometimes at the hands of a friend. It made them choose, over and over, soul-wrenching choices that killed one to save the many; to save another; to save themselves. And in the end, when they were sobbing and broken, it dropped them.

Rodney was the last, cocooned in pulsing fields of blue and amber, fighting through the choices, fighting and refusing to be broken. And when she let him go, Atlantis marked him with her sigil. Guinevere had her Lancelot, Atlantis had McKay.

I can't say I like it, but we may be on the same wavelength.

I was just thinking how McKay has often seemed to be SGA's anti-Daniel: Instead of insisting everyone around him be better than they think they can be, he is the only one of the expedition who tries to be better than he thinks he can be.

She does make them shoose, and i could see where you were coming from!

Okay, see, now I'm curious to see what this means. If Atlantis has taken him as the only one pragmatic enough not to break, what will she do with him now that she has him?
