shouting at windmills

Soo. I didn't stop at just watching Supernatural. I mentioned that before, right? This means fic, of course:

Gen, Dean and Castiel, h/c-ish. 2700 words.
Post-"Sam, Interrupted", but not directly related. Spoilers for "Free To Be You And Me" and "Abandon All Hope".
Thank you to trystings for the beta!

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!

The results for the mcshep_match are up! Also: The Masterlist!

My contribution for Team Peace was Late for the Arrival, featuring observant aliens, careless co-workers, Ancient graffiti, exasperated superiors, and a healthy dose of oblivious!Rodney through the ages.

In the end, Team War beat us by 0.04 points.

Kudos and congratulations, Team War!
*throws confetti*

Team Peace made second! (Duh!) Look, this is us:



*throws confetti for teammates*

The final score was 23.15 to 23.11. That's really, really close. Only a 0.2% difference! Which means that everyone was basically equally awesome!

But most of all the mods, of course, who put in all the hard work and made this match happen: fluffyllama and trobadora. And our team captains, too: kassrachel and lavvyan. Extra special thanks to all of you!

As a mcshep_match newbie, I can now cheer and say that this experience was FTW!

Fic #2 for story_lottery round two. I'm not only determined to actually finish the seven fics in time, I'm also determined to write them in seven different fandoms. Er. We'll see how that goes.

Anyway, this one is for my bonus prompt "a déjà vu":

Torchwood/Doctor Who crossover, gen, 2000 words, rated PG-13. Post Children of Earth. The Doctor, Jack. Not cheerful, not fixing anything. Thank you to tacittype for the beta!

( 'I used to wonder about this: if I got the chance, would I just punch you in the face, or would I be able to stop myself long enough to demand an explanation' )

Dear brain,

I clearly remember the two of us explaining just recently that we usually write happy things — no death fics and other dark stuff. Granted, we were being sarcastic, making our point by strongly claiming the opposite to be true. But still.
And now I find myself waking up one morning with you throwing this at me? There's death. (In a manner of speaking.) And it's dark. That's two out of two. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

With a heartfelt *wtf*,
me

In other words:
McKay/Sheppard, PG-13, 1400 words. Angst, sort of death fic, kind of dark. Title from Sting's "The Book of My Life". Beta'd by the fabulous trystings.

Yay, my first multifandom vid! \o/

To celebrate the guh! all around:

Touch Me Touching You
Music by Alphabeat. Footage from-- ( Want a list? )

This vid was greatly improved by the input of naye and tacittype, trusted beta watchers. Thank you so much, guys!

Download (75 MB).
Watch on youtube, or the embedded version ( under the cut. )

Whenever I haven't been fiddling with html code these last couple of weeks-- (Yes, the poll convinced me. My own shiny new website is almost done! Almost! On that note, I still very much need to get the following message off my chest: ----Die, Internet Explorer, DIE!!!---- Phew, okay, yes, feeling better now.)

Okay, what was the point of this post again? Right, I wrote, and surprisingly, it's not SGA. It's Psych! I love Psych! And I loved the season finale to an unhealthy degree.

Hence, this tag for An Evening with Mr. Yang.
3200 words, gen, PG-13, Shawn and Lassiter, humor, yet angsty (huh?).

Thank you to naye for initial beta comments and to snarkydame for the whole beta package!

( An Evening With Mr. Lassiter )

Note to self: We are badly in need of Psych icons.

This is a Brain Storm AU, in which Rodney takes John on that secret science presentation date.

8200 words, PG-13, McKay/Sheppard, humor, written for the S5 Tagathon on sga_episodefic.

Similarities to the episode are a given, similarities to other Brain Storm AUs are entirely incidental, as I've managed to stop myself from reading any so far. Surprisingly little dialog was taken from the episode, but the general plot was.

A really big thank you goes to snarkydame for the excellent (and quick!) beta job she did on this one!

( ''What? No, this isn't even remotely like a date, which is why I can't ask her, which is why I'm asking you.' )

This fic follows the SGA episode that is almost fanfic itself: Vegas.

Vegas!John/Vegas!Rodney, pre-slash/friendship, PG-13, ~3300 words. In which John isn't dead. Much.

Thank you to tacittype for the beta!
