Spoilers: For two-parter that caused uproar among Andromeda fans - 'Soon the Nearing Vortex' and 'The World Turns All Around Her'
Pairing: T/B but with a twist

Author's note: I did not see the two-parter in question and doubt that I'll ever do, because TV companies here have no idea about being consistent in showing series past first couple of seasons. Maybe they'll get around to the 4th season next year, or maybe never. My take on two episodes in question is based solely on spoilers I read. I am Tyr/Beka shipper, I was from the time I first saw them in FP, and I remain this way still. What I see in various reviews of the two-parter, makes my shipper heart weep - I want these two together, but I do not believe and I never will, that it is enough to put them in bed to make them together. I saw them grew closer and drift apart, I saw Tyr finally admitting that he wishes Beka was a Nietzschean, I saw Beka nearly admitting that she has feelings for Tyr... Maybe I imagined all this, who knows. Yet, I refuse to believe it this meaningless series of betrayal. In this story of mine, I just want to make Tyr actions actually mean something, in Tyr's kinda way.

***

I am alive... It somehow surprised me. I try to delve into deepest core of my being, in fear of finding traces of Abyss, but notice none. I am alive and untouched, which means that Abyss was true to its part of our deal. This, in turn, means that I was correct about creature's priorities.

I wondered why did the vortex need Beka so much, but it did and I just used this desire to lead the Universe make one step to the future, as I want it to be. Eventually, the creature will realize that it opened itself for the weakness, but it will be to late.

They all think I am a fool. Then again, they also think I am dead. Little do they know that they only followed my steps, searching in places where I already found everything I needed. I met the female, Aurelia, long time ago, years before I put my foot on Andromeda. I laughed at her predictions and mysterious riddles... she said I will find the one, betray the one, become connected with one, be a Husband to woman, who emerged the inferno anew, and our children will support the reborn. I thought she was stupid. Then I learned that Tamerlane, my son, was the reincarnation of Drago Museveni - the reborn.

I thought that my destined mate was Medea Cymri, but now I know better... Ironically enough, it was the Abyss itself who helped me to solve this riddle.

"I will exchange her to the Universe for you to rule," - the creature said.

Its breath on my skin reinforced memories I tried to forget - the time when I was infested with Magog larvae. Back then, I was too terrified to analyze the presence of Abyss, but now, when the creature looked at me again, I was somewhat prepared to be attentive and careful. Even then, on the ship full of sentient beasts, the Abyss could not take what it wanted, no matter how close it was to him. She was to strong, to determined for the creature to be able to defeat her and pour its poison into her. Abyss could not take her - she had to be given to it.

I concluded that she was a key figure in this game of the Universe - she could make a game turn one way or another. She could make the Abyss rise or fall, and I wanted to be one, who moves this figure into play. I am certain of her - I know her well. Inside her heart, behind all pains and fragility, she is strong, stronger then me even. She will not surrender to the Abyss, but it will flow through her only to see that her head rising proudly to deny its power over her.

As much as I wanted it, I could not make her privy to my plans, not really. The Abyss, who undoubtfully will have access to her memories, does not need to know of my game. I made a plan and executed it - first I made her believe that I need her, then I made her believe that it all was a lie. I carefully made her ready for the vortex, creating hatred in her, as Abyss instructed me to. I put my bets on 'connected with one' part of the riddle - I deduced that Abyss would not risk to have us both, fearing that my connection with her will not allow her to fully embrace the darkness.

When the time would come, she will learn about my plans and she will understand my reasons. This will be them first step to the demise of Abyss and all it stays for. I will fight to reach for her from that moment on, and I will not fail, and neither will she.

One day, she will take my hand and rise from the vortex, shedding shreds of Abyss from her. One day, she will emerge from inferno anew, to become mine again. One day, our children will fight beside Tamerlane, whose Universe I helped to shape.

I still haven't seen the second half. I will later today. But this is really good.

Now that they've dropped the whole Tyr/ Tammerlane story, fanfics like this is all we have to keep alive the 'Drom we once had.

[Lina]

Well, *I* haven't seen the first half as well. Spoilers look grim, though - Tamerlane storyline looked very promising.

I don't remember who said it, but I like how it sounds - if there is a gun on the wall in a story, it should eventually fire. Tamerlane storyline is like a gun, that not only don't fire, but suddenly turns into pink teddy bear, so to speak. Such a waste.

^^Unless they are taking a very long view of things--which I doubt, sad to say. Thank God for Fan Fic; we can fix things, even if they don't on the series. This fic is a case in point. *This* Tyr is capable of thinking rather than simply *reacting* as circumstances unfold, or mindlessly grasping for power. I like this Tyr.

That would be a VERY long, IMO

Thanks for review, ElJay
