- Description:
In which Tom Mason and John Pope undertake to save the human race. Starting with each other. (And Charleston.)
(A canon-divergence epic, branching off in the middle of Season 3 and continuing through a very different remix of Seasons 4 and 5.)
- Notes:
Contains slash between two angsty, foul-mouthed, conflicted survivors of an alien apocalypse, and chronicles the shifting evolution of their family as they do their best to save Earth from the Espheni threat.
Story titles and other references throughout the stories borrowed from the Popul Vuh. (Episode 3.9 of the show was titled "Journey to Xibalba", the name of the underworld from the Mayan Book of the Dawn of Life and the Glories of Gods and Kings. So I did some research, and a lot of it stuck.)

Summary
"Such was the defeat of the rulers of Xibalba: accomplished only through wonders, only through self-transformation."
(Or: instead of a fight in the woods, Tom and Pope have a conversation. And from that ripple in the pond, the future changes.)
