[daria234.livejournal.com]

Title: Nets, threads, loops, knots
Author: daria234
Fandom: Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles
Rating: PG
Warnings: Not really. Swearing maybe?
Prompt: 136) Ask yourself three questions and you will know who you are. Ask 'What do you believe in?' 'What do you hope for?' But most important - ask 'What do you love?' -- Paullina Simons (born 1963), Russian-born American novelist, journalist and translator.
Summary: Catherine Weaver’s reasons for doing what she does. Pre-series look at what Catherine Weaver thinks of Skynet, John Connor, and John Henry, and what she does about it. (This fic is not intended as crack, but if it were crack, it would be called “Catherine Weaver, killer cyberfeminist.” ) Slight AU in that canon timeline doesn’t match up exactly, for instance, but overall it’s close to facts of canon.
