( The afternoon drizzle has turned into an evening rainfall that keeps the families inside their warm, safe houses, doors all up and down the street shut firmly against the elements.  )

Rating: G

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: "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.


   

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: What The River Says
Rating: PG-13
Challenge: F**king freezing - sga_flashfic
Pairing: Sparky
Summary: And her heart still beats, her lungs still breathe, but she knows she might as well be dead. Maybe she is; maybe, if the ice ever thaws, she'll cease to live suspended in this godforsaken purgatory.

Author's Note: Sort of an alternate Elizabeth/nanite arc, minus the nanites. This was a fun experiment for me, trying to patchwork the story together without being too vague or too detailed. Inspired, partially, by this icon (just add more ice):

Note II: Title from William Stafford's poem Ask Me.

Title: Of Citrus, Caffeine and Clumsiness
Rating: PG-13

Things Change, Elizabeth & Janet, AU, PG
The warren of concrete tunnels was filled with bustling personnel in a permanent state of hurry, but the hallway where Elizabeth stood now had a silence about it that even the most determinedly cheerful personality could not disturb.
