Title: Waiting for the Dawn

jedibuttercup
Fandom(s): Falling Skies
Rating: R/Mature; language and canon-typical violence
Warnings/Notes: A Falling Skies canon divergent AU, beginning during 3.05 "Search and Rescue" and continuing through the end of the season. Summary and chapter titles borrowed from the Popul Vuh. Contains low-key slash; canon-typical h/c, angst, and interpersonal conflict; semi-canonical death of a minor character; family feels; and a hopeful, sort-of-fixit ending.
Summary: "Such was the defeat of the rulers of Xibalba: accomplished only through wonders, only through self-transformation." 43,500 words.
(Or: instead of a fight in the woods, Tom and Pope have a conversation. And from that ripple in the pond, the future changes.)
Acknowledgements: To sulien, pronker, edenfalling and xlade for being a huge encouragement when I needed it, and everyone else who reads and comments on my more obscure work.
( Waiting for the Dawn ) (or story at AO3)
