Richard Woolsey: Corrupted

[janeaverage.livejournal.com]

Woolsey makes an excellent straight man, bureaucratic stumbling block, or sometimes even figure of fun. But—okay, my first experience with Robert Picardo was this guy on stage at a convention talking with immense gravitas about Star Trek: Voyager and then, given the right prompt, bursting out into song and thoroughly enjoying himself. So I'm always kind of waiting for Woolsey's "Under the Boardwalk" moment… where the walls are dropped and you see that he's really just like them: part of Atlantis.

I'm thinking Woolsey's campaign of manipulation on Atlantis's behalf in lilyfarfalla's Where to Start Over and How to Begin, or that scene in mad_maudlin's The Surly Bonds of Earth where he fantasizes about feeding heads of state to Ronon putting Earth bureaucracy in the brig. Even his mostly-offscreen "please, Dr. McKay, I wrote this game" finagling in propinquitine's The Ingenious Dr. Rodney McKay of Atlantis. Fics (or even teeny bits of fics) where Atlantis has been a Very Bad Influence on the strait-laced Richard Woolsey.

Got any of those? :)

Two of my Colony Atlantis AUs are this way.

and

Ultimate mission (http://www.enolasrealm.com/ultimatemission.htm)


I also have Don't Belong (http://www.enolasrealm.com/dontbelong.htm) that examines that.

You know, I read maybe the first few Colony Atlantis ones years ago, but I hadn't been able to find them again – I kind of thought I'd imagined them out of a combination of other stories or something ;) There are so many little elements in there that just hit my squee button.

Don't Belong was new to me and it was just lovely. Thank you! :)

Well, thank you very much!

Woolsey is a lovely character.

Self-recs are love; people know their own fic best, and so much of the time it's kind of off the beaten path, things I'd never have found otherwise. This was just what I was looking for, thank you :)

I have not read Starting Over (In the Same Place) (http://pogrebin.livejournal.com/67215.html#cutid1) for awhile but my notes said that even Woolsey had come over to the dark (Atlantis) side. Post EatG
