Title: Parade Rest
Rating: G
Warning: Spoilers for Stargate: Continuum
Character: Samantha Carter
Summary: And deep inside, the soldier waits until she's needed.

Author's Note: Had this kicking around in the back of my head since first watching Continuum. The other idea might join this soon... or not.


   

While cleaning out my hard drive and going through scattered memory sticks, I came across a flash drive that has a good number of fics saved on it. Only a handful are actually finished, and most of those have already been posted, but there are a few that haven't seen the light of a LJ post. For my lack of anything coherent to say after watching Continuum, I offer this typically "me" piece.


Title: Our Green-Eyed Mistress
Rating: PG-13
Characters: John Sheppard, Atlantis
Summary: Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.   --Havelock Ellis

( Atlantis realized they were leaving after three of the teams had managed to ‘gate out from under the city’s watchful eye with a pretense of visiting trading sites. )
        

Title: Five Men She Trusts With Her Life
Rating: PG-13
Challenge: Five things - sga_flashfic
Summary: ...and for a whole variety of reasons, too.

   

Title: Physician of the Mind Diseased
Rating: PG-13
Challenge: First aid - sga_flashfic 
Character: Kate Heightmeyer
Summary: There is a reason they call her "Doctor."
 
  

Title: Chain of Command
Rating: G
Pairing: Sparky
Length: Drabble
Genre: Fluff

The Little Things I. II. III. IV.
  

    

And a third one. :)

Title: Living in the Present
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sparky, Elizabeth/Simon
Genre: Fluff
Summary: She's learning to focus on the moment, on the "now."

The Little Things I. II. III. IV.

( Her first long stay away had ended badly, with a return home to the shredded remains of an old, handmade quilt. )

This randomly came back and bit me, like a boomerang I didn't know I had thrown. I now have several more ideas for the "Little Things" group sketched out, and more are coming up every day. So here's a series of drabbles about the differences - or remarkable similarities - between the man and the dog in Elizabeth's life.  :)

Title: Cleanliness is Godliness
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sparky
Genre: Fluff  (yes, I know. What am I on? (If I knew, I'd share.))
Summary: At least the dog has an excuse.

The Little Things I. II. III. IV.

( She's used to dog hair, to the way it gets on all her best suits and makes everything white – or mostly so. )

  

Title: Grace and Good Aim
Rating: PG
Character: Elizabeth Weir
Summary: Now she gouges out hearts with bullets instead of words.


They understood the necessity of having every person in the city armed for the fight. So many were dead, and more were dying in the chaos of the Infirmary, that they couldn’t afford to leave any hands, calloused and rough or smooth and slender, empty.

This was war, they told themselves, this is a fight we have to win if we’re to survive. And ignoring the sickening feeling in their guts, they gave her a gun.

She took it from them, and the sight of their leader with a weapon, learning to kill, sent chills down their spines; but what terrified them was that she was good at it.


   
 
   

Since my comment exceeded the limit on comments by 96 characters, I figured I should post it over here. :)    (And Sela, I'm getting around to your prompt. I'm just watching some of that old-school SG-1 for "research purposes". )  The other ficlet-a-thon comments can be found over thataway.


Savior, SGA, Elizabeth & Caldwell, "End this." PG-13


   

Title: "Forever" Really Means "For Now"
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sparky
Spoilers: Speculation about 5x05, Ghost in the Machine

Author's Note: Musical inspiration/basis was Immortality, by Celine Dion.


   

Now accepting any and all prompts, which will be written with the utmost care in a heroic effort to overcome the worst case of Writer's Block in existence.

  

Yes, so, about being alive: I am. Apparently being away from a computer for a whole two-or-so weeks is the one thing that jumpstarts the Muse. And if I've missed a post or a life-changing crisis because of this absence, please forgive me.

Oparu, I swear that the notjustclosets fic is getting written as I speak. But due to the overflow of creative juices and need to vent some of it, I am breaking one of my set-in-stone rules and doing a meme.

ETA: After much consideration, the censoring community has decided to remove the previously struck-through text in a vain attempt to create the illusion I may still be sane.


Give me one of my own stories and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, sometime in the past before the story started, or even within the story itself. I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story or ten years in the future.


 

Title: Building Bridges (Instead of Walls)
Rating: PG
Challenge: Family - sga_flashfic
Character: Elizabeth Weir
Summary: And Atlantis has broken all the other rules; why should this one be any different?

She didn’t have to be told that those in power were alone.
  

Title: Patchwork
Rating: PG-13
Challenge: Underground, 1x08 - notjustclosets
Pairing: Sparky
Summary: Hanging by bare and threadworn seams, they weave a tale together.

Author's Note: This is much shorter, but much better than what I had originally written. When you think about it, we're-going-to-die sex could concievably take place in over half of the SGA episodes. Maybe the writers write in in, and it gets filmed, and we just never see it because everyone actually involved with the show is a secret Sparky 'shipper, and really good thief. 



    

Title: In This Foreign Land (Here, Hold My Hand)
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sparky
Summary: And we danced, out there on that empty hardwood floor, the chairs up and the lights turned way down low. The music played, we held each other close, and we danced...  -  Brad Paisley, We Danced

Author's Note: Inspired by this video. DAFT, away!
 
    

Title: With Your Shield, Or On It
Rating: PG-13 (yeah, we'll talk about that)
Pairing: Sparky
Assignment: "The Ark", 3x16 - notjustclosets
Summary: And this is her power: that she picks the broken pieces out of the wreckage and puts him back together without hesitating.

Author's Note: Yes, I know the real point of the notjustclosets challenge was to write them having hot monkey sex in such a way that it fits in the episode, but I decided that rather than scarring people for life, I'd go with a pre-and-post fic centered around the Sparky warrior/goddess theme. I know, I know, but I don't really have a Smut Muse, sorry to disappoint you - although I did get them somewhere other than a closet. So y'all want NC-17 stuff, fill it in - and if you actually write it, I will be more than happy to add it to the fic.

Note II: I just have to laugh at the fact that everyone else got an extension to my much-begged-for date. ;)

Note III: The imagery here is something that I had to kick around a bit (code for: I yelled "Forget it!" and the Muse yelled back, "Write it!" "But it's abstract-ish!" "And when's that stopped you?"); I'm occasionally under the impression that the Elizabeth that John imagines is sometimes quite different from who she actually is, and that even in canon, she is his goddess. It's something I fiddled with, and comments are definitely welcome! And- er, okay, to the fic before I get sidetracked with ancient mythology and Shakespearian plays. 

 

 

       

Title: In Your Absence (I Lose Myself)
Rating: PG-13
Challenge: Second verse - sga_flashfic
Summary: Where do we draw the limits? (I need you.) And will you still be the same? (I need you.)

  

Because part of me has wanted to do this for forever, and now it's helping me hold onto the good memories.
