What's in a Name, by Gaga_cai (PG-13)

[irony-rocks.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Terminator (movies)
Pairing: Kate Brewster/John Connor
Fic Title: What's In A Name
Author: gega_cai
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/moviefanfiction/179875.html
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: action/adventure
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: Long, plotty Terminator fic that is just perfectly written for this verse. I was waiting for this story to be complete before reccing, but I've known I was going to rec it for a while as it slowly built chapter by chapter. The action, the complexity of their situation, and best of all, the author posits Kate Brewster front and center as she goes from being a passanger in John Connor's fate to an integral part in it. This romance is more slow-burning than I would have expected, but I guess that makes sense as there's, y'know, an apocalypse going on and they've got to keep focused. But the characterization and the journey is deflty written. Another thing that has my envy, and I say this because I myself struggle with it as a writer, is the action sequences. Very, very well written, with detail and grit and a thousand small details that make you think the author just lived and breathed this verse.
