Title: Cold Heart

Notes: 100 words, no more no less, with a soupçon of angst that emotional state I refuse to admit that I write.

~*~*~

By any measure, the bottom of an ocean is temperate compared to the shattering cold of space, but she doesn’t feel warmer. She can’t, not while alone but for a slow pulse she was convinced to sustain despite her reservations.

Though the female, mind flat and inaccessible, awakens twice and makes noise when wandering through the halls, she’s too sluggish to make the effort to comprehend. She doesn’t have as much power as she should, and besides, she’s heartsick for her people.

Janus told her others would arrive, but his promise isn’t enough to keep her warm through the years.

Oooh, interesting. For a moment I thought maybe this was from the perspective of that Wraith Queen they found in Submersion, but I like it better that it's not. Atlantis POV FTW, and all. Poor city.

I've always loved anthropomorphized Atlantis stories.

So sad.

It really sets the scene for how she lights up when John comes through the stargate.

Oh, that's really beautiful! I didn't quite catch it was Atlantis at first, but on my second read I saw Elizabeth, saw the ZPMs, realized what was happening. Such a lovely take on that pre-Rising moment!

I love sentient Atlantis fics. This was very good.

Very nice - I didn't get it at first, and then I did. Lovely.

I like who the POV belongs to: an interesting take on the challenge.
