TITLE:  The Courage of Putting Pen To Paper
FANDOM: Stargate Atlantis (sheafrotherdon's Iowa 'verse)
CHARACTERS: Katie Brown
RATING: PG for language
WORDS: 1,154
NOTES: This was written for the SGA Saturday prompt, "trash".  It's set in sheafrotherdon's beautifully written, "Iowa 'verse" set of stories, which is an AU that you can find & read here.  This missing scene takes place in Chapter 7, "A Big Stupid Glory of Being Wrong All The Time".  When I read the prompt for this week's SGA Saturday, this was just one of a few items that jumped in my head - but it's also one of the ones that hasn't let me go.  (This is also not the only SGA Saturday story I'm writing for this prompt - elderwitty and I have a "Citrus Hill Moment" coming, and I also have at least one standalone story to finish.
WARNING: NOT BETAED.  This is also unlike anything else I've ever written, and I hope my original intention comes through.  Also, the dialogue in the last sentence isn't mine - it's straight from the story that inspired this.
SUMMARY:  After a visit from her mother, Katie looks to write Rodney a letter to inquire about Finn - if she can muster up the courage.
