Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles was an awesome television show that was cancelled before its time, and ended on one of the most insane cliffhangers ever, second only to Farscape, only TSCC didn't get a miniseries to wrap things up.
Fortunately, we have![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
halcyon_shift, who wrote the magnificent series Out on the Wire. Starting just as the finale ends, These Things My Mother Taught Me (the first story) throws you right into the middle of a tense situation and things never let up. John Connor, in the future, must figure out how to survive in an apocalyptic future where no one knows his name and everyone's suspicious of how he arrived. Sarah Connor, in the past, must keep herself and Savannah alive while Skynet hunts them. Both of them, from opposite ends of the problem and little way of communicating, must work together to save the human race. And I guarantee you, you won't figure out the end until you get there. The writing is tense, surprisingly introspective, and completely in character.
John wants to tell them, but what can he say? “So, hi, I’m your son,” to a man who isn’t much older than he is? “I’m the leader of the Resistance and, hey, your nephew,” to a man carrying a gun that big?
No. Really, just - no.
He needs time – and the irony isn’t lost on him – to think. He needs them to be not staring at him like that. He needs to know where the hell Weaver went, where Cameron’s chip is and how he’s getting home.
And he needs clothes. Maybe it’s shock, maybe it’s because heavily armed resistance fighters are surrounding him - maybe it’s because he’s sixteen and Cameron’s human body is right behind him - but he’ll take clothes over everything else.
