Escape Velocity (PG; John-centric gen)
by

aesc

Hurrah, done! This is our artword submission for the Astronomy Challenge, inspired by this photo from the Apollo 17 mission. I had been wanting to do another comic for quite some time now, and

dogeared, awesome as always, provides some beautiful words to work with, very happily looked over my shoulder and cheered me on. Sine qua non ♥

DANGER ALERT: This is set before 5.19 "Vegas," and contains spoilers for the episode, so if you haven't seen it and don't want to be spoiled, do not pass the LJ cut. Also, if you have a difficult time with scruffy, disheveled John, you may want to double-check your heart medication.

Gorgeous and heartbreaking. ♥

Thank you so much from both of us!! We're thrilled you liked it :)

These are fantastic.

Awww, thank you kindly! :)

So beautiful! Oh my god! Poor Detective John.

Just think: Rodney comes along and makes it better! And they're together, and John gets the stars after all!

Oh wow.

I LOVE collaged art, and these, with the text and the stories, and *waves hands incoherently*... WOW.

Thank you v. kindly from both of us!

I really love doing collage-type comics... I actually tried a software program that helps you set up a traditional comic (with the boxes and storyboards), but I didn't quite get it :D

This is so beautiful. Oh, John.

Poor busted-up Vegas!John! Fortunately Rodney will enter his life v. soon.

Absolutely beautiful, and heartwrenching - both words and images into a perfect gutpunch.

Thank you so much from both of us! It was very fun to put together :)

This is so gorgeous and amazing and heartbreaking!

Thank you v. kindly!! ♥♥

Oh, John. I just want to give him milk, cookies, and the Pegasus galaxy. Absolutely gorgeous artwork, and I love the sparseness of the prose - seems fitting for the character, who wasn't exactly chatty. Also, I loved how he was just drawn to the stars, like his soul knew his destiny, even if he'd gotten lost along the way. Breathtaking artwork, heartbreaking story. Just lovely.

Oh, thank you, sweets--what a lovely comment!!

This was great. Kind of depressing, but beautiful.

You just have to remember that Rodney comes along eventually, saves him, and all will be well :)

Absolutely incredible, the words and art melding together wonderfully!

Thank you so much!! We're happy you liked it! ♥

Wow. That is truly beautiful.

Awww, thank you kindly! :)

Wonderful!

Thank you so much! :)

oh.my.god. oh.my.god.

i am so amazed by this. this is amazing. truly.

Yayy, thank you!! ♥♥

Oh, John Sheppard! How are you so woobie? :D

This is lovely, absolutely lovely. :)

We don't know, but he manages it! Thank you! :)

Oh god, I'm choking up here.

You're amazing.

Just remember: Rodney comes along and makes EVERYTHING better! :)

Wow. *stares* More wow. *stares some more*

Thank you so much! :) :)

As beautiful and heartrending as Vegas itself. ~~Good~~ great job.

Thank you very kindly! We're happy you enjoyed it!

How cool! Beautiful work by both you guys!

Yayy, thank you from Jenns & me!

And omg, that cut on his cheek... it DESTROYS me. I don't know how it's possible to look so good while being cut up and disheveled, but... mmmph. *flaps*

Erm, the pictures aren't showing up for me.

Eeep, late to the reply...

The images might take a while to load because they're rather large, but they should appear eventually. (Also, the site might have been down momentarily; no one else seems to have had a problem.) You could also click on the thumbnails, which link directly to the images on my website.

I hope you managed to see them! ♥

Hon! this is totally amazing!!! Brilliant!!!!!!!!! Jooohn!!

Poor Vegas John!!! How we wanted to hug him! Jenns remarked that really the only way she could write this was to remember that Rodney eventually shows up to save the day. Which of course TOTALLY happens, as we all know. *nods*

Wow.

The images are gorgeous and the words are so harsh. You really captured Vegas!John

Thank you so much from both of us!
