Terminator Salvation: Yesterday's Got Nothing [John/Marcus]

2012-09-20T15:02:48Z

Title: “Yesterday’s Got Nothing”
Author: Shaitanah
Rating: R
Timeline: post-T4
Summary: When John suspects there is malware in Marcus Wright’s system, he takes it upon himself to fix things. With mixed results. [John/Marcus, canon pairings implied]
Disclaimer: Terminator Salvation belongs to McG, Warner Bros., etc. The franchise belongs to James Cameron. Quotes from “Breakdown” by Guns N’ Roses; “Bleed the Freak” by Alice In Chains; Hebrews 10:17; “Bodies upon the gears” speech by Mario Savio.
A/N: This was never supposed to be this long. *whimpers* But these two highjacked my brain, then some other characters joined the party, and some elements of the novelizations and T:SCC seeped in. Also, for the sake of this story, let’s assume Marcus doesn’t really need a heart to live.
