summary: John climbed out through the hole and stood alone on the roof of the world

sorry this is the first time you're seeing it, [info]briar_pipe! i only just finished it :/

preview:





.the roof of the world





"You must go up, and out," Teyla said. Ronon said, "Go." Rodney said nothing, but he fashioned a frame like a mad plumber's sketch of an aerial city and spun on it a vision of feathers and wax.

John climbed out through the hole and stood alone on the roof of the world. Towered above the dawn, fierce as a giant, before launching himself breathlessly down, down.

His wings shuddered, caught, held.

Over wrinkles of wind-tossed ocean, away from the rocks, John Sheppard shot like a sparrow towards the sun, eyes fixed on the winking gate before it.

.the end

Eeee! Sissi, I'm so excited! This is gorgeous, the silver and black coloring, John's wings *fans self* and the spiky floating city with the gate high above - utterly stunning. This was the best possible present to start the week with. Thank you!

P.S. Thanks for the title. I'm terrible with them. *laughs*

Lovely. I really like John's wings, and the amount of detail in Atlantis - at first I thought it was a B&W version of a screencap, but when I realized it was (I'm pretty sure) a pencil drawing I was even more impressed. Just lovely, that would be marvelous on its own. The text and how it fits in is really well-done, I can just imagine John shooting up into the sky.

You created a beautiful image with this ficlet. I can imagine seeing him fly like that, and the art with is a great visual help. Very clever idea with the wings :)
