Title: Things We Trade For Freedom
Author: Jedi Buttercup
Rating: R
Disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not.

Summary: When Ronon agreed to go with the Earthers after the Ancients claimed Atlantis, he'd expected to end up fighting Ori soldiers, not taking a tour of Sheppard's country-- or stumbling into a first contact situation as strange as anything in Pegasus. Who is this woman who calls herself Faith? 26,000 words.

Warnings: Canon-typical violence, language, sexuality, and appearance of a misogynistic villain.

Notes: A B:tVS/Stargate Atlantis fic, starting from a slightly AU version of SGA 3.10 "The Return, Part I" and crossing over to an equally AU B:tVS 7.10/7.11 "Bring on the Night" and "Showtime" with elements of 7.18 "Dirty Girls". Some dialogue borrowed from relevant episodes. A few Latin words also included, as a stand-in for presumably Ancient-descended Satedan, plus several pop culture references.

Acknowledgements: Written for kayleyangel's request: Ronon meets up with Faith in Sunnydale before the First makes his move. Submitted as part of the 2011 Journey Story Big Bang challenge. Many thanks to ningloreth for such fabulous work as my artist, and to dhark_charlotte and sulien77 for volunteering to beta. You guys rock!
