reinforce my clarity

A sequel to Something New Under the Sky. PG-13, slightly slashy (well, we are talking about Faith here), ~2480 words.

Many thanks to torakowalski for beta duty.

"Hmm. That smile is worrying. Perhaps, before I gave away all my fighting secrets, I should have asked if you were evil?" Teyla said lightly and saw Faith's mouth twist into a sharp grin.

"Not anymore. You scared?" she asked


( Forms of Friendship )

For the 100crossovers challenge again. A prequel to A Holiday Humour, slash, PG-13. Ta to torakowalski for the beta.

"Oh, very amusing" Rodney shot back sarcastically, "with lines like that surely it should be Captain Kirk, not Harkness,"


( A Brief Encounter )

First fic for my 100 Crossovers deal! Gen, ~2000 words. Betaed by the most excellent torakowalski

Summary: An unexpected encounter on Earth.

Teyla felt the back of her neck prickle with the sudden awareness that it was too still and a thread of unease seemed to work through the night around her


( Something New Under the Sky )

I've done a bit more thinking about the planning of my ongoing girl!John WIP and actually managed to organise my notes into something resembling a running order and a three section plan.

The good:
1. I have completed the first of the three sections (I think) and started the second (the boundaries between them are pretty blurry, but that's currently how I'm thinking of it)
2. I have a pretty good idea of what is going to make up section 2, though the order isn't set in stone
3. I got some better ideas this week about how to do some of 2 and 3, which is cool

The bad:
1. Section 3 is a little sparse with plot ideas aside from the personal/emotional
2. On finishing section 1, it stands at approx. 49,500 words
3. This means I probably have at least that much to write again
4. This also means that it is likely to be the longest thing I have ever written, and I'm including my PhD thesis in that
5. This is very scary

But as a way to avoid actually working on the fic, it worked out really well... what, I can't procrastinate? But it's my major talent!

So A Dangerous Desire has been nominated *bounces*

This is very cool and whoever nominated me gets big virtual hugs.

I just hope I've managed to categorise myself properly!

In which Rodney gets things wrong. A lot. McKay/Sheppard, mild slashiness. Thank you to torakowalski for sentence wrangling.

A Novel of Romance by a Lady

All Rodney McKay had thought he wanted was to be left alone with his theories and hypotheses. Being abducted and meeting the intriguing John Sheppard had put paid to that. Rodney understood his own desires rather better now, but society’s laws and conventions opposed him and Sheppard was surely far out of his reach. Not to mention the complication of his mysterious abductor…

A/N: My deepest gratitude to torakowalski for her invaluable assistance, enthusiasm and encouragement throughout. Inspired and influenced by Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, Bernard Cornwell, Colin Firth’s wet shirt, Matthew MacFadyen’s breeches and far too many Mills and Boon Regency Romances read as a teenager. Plot structure freely adapted from “Fair Juno” by Stephanie Laurens.
Caveat: Although research was perpetrated, no claims are made to historical accuracy. All mistakes are my own.
