Author's note: Written for the seans_50 challenge.

I have a hard time with prompt words, but since pictures often inspire me, I thought I'd see what images came up when I searched for each of the words. Then I was hit by a big wave of nostalgia after the lovely VigBean reunion at the Empire Awards and with the tenth anniversary of filming coming up later this year. So I started to see what images I could find in or about New Zealand related to each of the prompts. And so this series was born.

This is a series of vignettes, small moments of time during a long road trip taken to celebrate both of their birthdays and their tenth anniversary. They're not in any chronological or geographical order; there will be times when the geography is all fucked up but the story is pure fantasy and so is my New Zealand.

There is no plot or conflict or point other than two incredible men who are deeply in love taking a break from the craziness of their lives to be with each other in the country where it all began.

To read them in the order posted, view them by tags and go back about two pages and begin with Sheep. Or you can go to my first "announcement" post and use the links in the prompt table. While the ficlets can be read in any order, there is one very important caveat. The 'Daddy' prompt should be read last; it is the end of the journey and will work better being read at the end.

Big thanks to govi20 and mooms for organizing the seans_50 challenge. And a huge thank you to stormatdusk, not just for being a great beta but for all the incredible encouragement and handholding along the way. This has been such a fun experience. I hope you enjoy the pictures and ficlets as much as I have enjoyed finding and writing them.

Title: Breathing in Space: Chapter 4 - Turning Point (4/5)
Author: foxrafer
Characters: Sean/Viggo
Rating: G
Warnings: AU. This is my version of the Enterprise-D, my timeline, definitely not 100% accurate to the real ST universe.

Summary: Once upon a time, Sean and Viggo were both assigned to the Enterprise-D
Author's Note: Written for stormatdusk. This is a tech-heavy chapter, and I'm sure true Trekkies will cringe (and non-Trekkies will wonder what the hell all the babble is about). Huge thanks to caras_galadhon and moondreamer1, who when I didn't think I could write a Star Trek story told me not to worry about the techie stuff. :-) Another reason this took so long to finish was because I really wanted to get Data in the story. I tried to write a scene between him and Viggo and nothing felt right. I love Data too much to do him badly so he's only mentioned and the conversation is with Barclay instead.

Previous parts: Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3

Chapter 4: Turning Point

A version of this was written for angiepen in the slashababy fic exchange. I found myself heading toward a story with character death and turned it into a happy ending. But I believe the entire piece would have hung together much better if it continued along to the horribly depressing conclusion. I completely understand if you pass this one by (on any other day I'd be right there with you *g*). And I'm sure the writing gets fuzzier as this goes along because I had the most terrible time writing this. I will not be writing this kind of story again. :-) If you'd prefer to read the version with a happy ending, you can find it here.
