Word count: 2083
Rating: PG
Pairing/Characters: Jack, Stephen, Captain Howard, the Marines
Author's Note: (Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to write about a Marine captain without unintentionally referring to the Captain of the ship?!)
This fic was finally finished at five to two in the morning, and (not having my copy of the M&C DVD with me) there are bound to be inaccuracies and things about which I really should know better. I was asked to write about the Stephen-gets-shot scene, which I found quite a challenge at first, hence the delay between the request and the post... But here it is, finally, in all its glory.
Disclaimer: I like playing in the M&C sandbox. However, it isn't mine and I don't own it, the characters or the situations. (I have named Thompson, however, though he is one of the nameless Marines who appear on screen in the film). I think Peter Weir is a fanboy who would be amused by the fact we love his film the way we do. POB would be surprised, however...
