Author's Notes: Written for the 2011 atlantisbigbang. My apologies for the delay in posting, there was a family emergency. Many, many thanks to my three betas: lavvyan, clockstopper, and never_says_die. Also major thanks to chubbypup for her great artwork complimenting this work. This was an experiment in voice for me, and I'm really glad Lorne was willing to let me tell his story. I hope you enjoy!
PS: Apologies for the cross-posting.
