shouting at windmills

This is it, my seventh and final fic for the story_lottery round two. I would squeal, but it turns out I missed the deadline by only a couple of hours. Still, it was fun, and I made it -- even the writing-in-seven-different-fandoms part. \o/

This is an Enterprise fic, PG-13, Reed/Hayes. Thank you so much to trystings for beta-ing and cheerleading!

( Hayes was still a bit of a mystery to Malcolm. And Malcolm didn't like mysteries. )

And these are all seven submissions:

4 - a soap bubble: Play The Music, Light The Lights [Stargate Atlantis]
8 - the tide: High Tide [Enterprise]
13 - smoke: Where There's Smoke [Numb3rs]
18 - the full moon: Entirely Possible [Stargate SG-1/Discworld]
22 - a second: All Bets Are Off [Psych]
26 - a déjà vu: The Time Is Then [Torchwood/Doctor Who]
31 - a lit candle: Come Share The View [NCIS]

I've had a really, really stressful week, and of my seven prompts for the story_lottery round two, I've managed to finish four so far. The deadline on Sunday is a little too close for comfort for me, actually.

Aaanyway, here's number five, for the prompt "smoke":
Numb3rs, tag for 6x02 "Friendly Fire". PG-13, David/Colby, humor, 2000 words.
Thank you so much, snarkydame, for the mother of all beta sessions!

My third fic for story_lottery round two, for the prompt "a second". A list of my seven prompts is here.

Psych, Shawn/Lassiter, PG, 1200 words, humor. Thank you to snarkydame for the beta!

( All Bets Are Off )

Oookay. Crackfic, anyone? This is my first response to the story_lottery Round 2, for the prompt "a soap bubble".

McKay/Sheppard(-ish) with a bit of Lorne/Parrish, crack, PG, 4200 words, and did I mention crack? Seriously, complete with singing and dancing. Thank you to trystings for tackling this beta read!

I'll just go and look for my mind now. I seem to have lost it somewhere.

Well then, Play the Music, Light the Lights

ETA:
Now there's a podfic version of this fic! reena_jenkins recorded it, and it's fabulous! What would Kermit the Frog say? "Applause!"
