So the lovely Kate has been doing a solstice calendar of treats for everyone, and tonight several people pitched in stories (SGA, SG-1, and STXI so far). Go read them all, they're pretty delightful. I've contributed a short post-series Ronon POV ensemble fic, in which Teyla goes on a winter holiday binge and drags everyone else along with her.

On which note: thanks, guys, for the snowflake cookies! I was delighted and ate some non-virtual treats to honor the intention behind the virtual ones.

I've finally gotten fed up with this whole "not writing" thing: it's not that I can't, just that I haven't felt motivated to do it. Since apathy is generally a really unproductive mood in which to resume work on a longer project, I've decided that I'm better off writing random ficlets just for the hell out it. Expect a hodgepodge of lengths, fandoms, and intervals in between them -- I'm basically putting no parameters on these. (Also, FYI, they'll all be unbetaed.)

First up: Harry Potter, of all things, inspired by rewatching HBP with my mom and starting to reread DH. Set during the First War.

( Lily, 1980. Nine times clockwise with the glass rod, seven heartbeats, and two counter-clockwise strokes with the wooden spoon. )

Wow, this writing stuff sure gets harder when you, like, don't do it for two solid months. Wacky!

#9, for U., who asked for John Sheppard, judge or Teyla Emmagan, awkward. SGA, Sam/Teyla, implied John/Rodney, also close-but-no-cigar on being safe for work. Set after the finale but almost entirely unspoilery; also unbetaed and prone to liberally ignoring chunks of canon.

( Sam's hips hit the big steel prep table, the impact sending a couple of kitchen utensils clattering to the floor, and Teyla fisted her hand harder in the back of Sam's hair and bit hard at Sam's mouth. )

#8, for T., who said, If you feel like writing John/Rodney, with restraints and misunderstandings, I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy that :) SGA, McKay/Sheppard, remarkably close to being safe for work but not quite. Also, I feel like this is a good time to remind those of you at home that these are very, very unbetaed, and that the promptees should not be held liable for any of this.

( It's after midnight before John heads back to his quarters, leaving the Marines to handle the rest of the mopping up. )

Jeez, it's been a month since I posted the last one? That's embarrassing.

#7, for B., who said, Could I have a timestamp for sing this song (and I ain't gonna sing no more)? Um... I love the way "later" becomes a refrain of promise in the last section. So... just later, or two weeks later, if you need a more specific prompt. SGA, McKay/Sheppard, adult.

( Read more... )

#6: for A., who very flatteringly said, Any (happy/hot?) Rodney/John thingy from you will fill me with joy. Episode tag to 5x02 "The Seed;" predictably somewhat spoilery.

( John knows that the medical staff keep two different discharge times for him: the second is the one they actually want him to stay until, and the first is the one where if he sneaks out before then, they'll get Ronon to trank him and then go cart him back. )

#5. For K., who said, I think what I'd like most in the world is some small snippet from college life with John, Rodney, and Carson as roommates, from Unidentified-verse. SGA AU, takes place two years after the first flashback in Unidentified. As mentioned in the DVD commentary, the original draft of Jeannie and John's phone conversation referred to this incident.

( [1994. November.] 'Well, it'll do what you want it to do,' Carson says as he rounds the corner into Rodney's lab, 'but I'm not sure you've got the chemical composition quite right.' )

Okay, so that was a longer gap there then I meant it to be, but my time was filled up with awesome people being hilarious and distracting, so I really can't manage to feel that bad. Hopefully you all won't hold it against me.

#4. This is for M., who requested Coda, after the end of the concert, please. SGA AU, probably makes little sense if you haven't read Unidentified and Coda.

( 2009. March. When it comes to some things, John's always been content to improvise. )

#3. This one is for V., who said, If you would write me a little teensy bit of Rodney back-story from before the event that precipitates 'Unidentified' I will be ~~your slave~~ ever so pleased and happy. (Especially if there is sex.) SGA AU, adult, probably makes little sense if you haven't read Unidentified. Expands on a very vague hint dropped in the conversation in the kitchen in Canon for Two Instruments.

( 2005. October. The one time it happens, it's entirely unintentional. )

#2. More Always Sleep With My Guns, because C. said, And I would like the morning after. Follows directly on the heels of #1; I suspect there may have been conspiring. SGA AU, McKay/Sheppard, safe for work.

( John and sleep don't have more than a passing acquaintance most nights, but whether it's the near-death exhaustion or the post-sex afterglow or the soft rise and fall of Rodney's back against his chest, he slides straight under like someone's opened a trap door up beneath him. )

The first of the ~~so-called~~ ~~oh man I fail at short~~ drabbles I owe various people for various things. I'm writing them in no particular order, but there's a decent chance that add-ons to particular stories will end up being written in clusters. These will all be posted unbetaed, so read at your own risk.

#1. For A., who said, Oh, man, I would love a little more "Always Sleep With My Guns," like what happens (sex!) when they are finally safe. SGA, McKay/Sheppard, adult, makes little sense without the original story.

( John calls Teyla from the car and then spends more than an hour criss-crossing the DC area, while Rodney scans the roads around them and tries to keep his post-crisis panic attack discreet. )

... Holiday ficlet? I swear, I'm as surprised as you are.

Okay, brain, back in the saddle.
