Title: Summer Lovin'
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sam/Jack
Summary: In my life, I love you more...

Author's Note: This was written for [info]oparu via her request on a meme for "Sam/Jack, summery." There were over five variations and attempts to write the original drabble before it eventually spawned this one, leaving a backstory that's referenced in the first sentence (which involves an uncomfortable Cam, a devious Vala and the mysterious dress). That may, one day, see the light of the internet; for now, I leave you with a drabble that has an AN almost as long as it is.

Author's Note II: Bonus points to the reader who correctly identifies the songs from which the title and summary were taken!


It starts with a dress, and ends up on a screened porch with the afternoon sun quietly slipping away towards the other side of the world, brilliant ambers and golds turning softer, fainter. )

Because I love [info]oparu 's writing enough to do a meme m'self (although the chances of anyone actually requesting anything are pretty darn small)....

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.

So I was just about to make a post complaining about the lack of inspiration and Muse!ness going on right now, despite the thirty-item long list of "To Be Written", when (of course) an idea hit me.

I'm not a proponent of McKay/Sheppard, but read into whatever you want.

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.
