Title: Quicksilver in the Hand
Authors: ariadne83 and lunabee34
Pairings: Rodney McKay/Brendan Gall, Rodney McKay/Svetlana Markov
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 25880

Summary: Rodney McKay met Brendan Gall years before the Atlantis expedition. This story explains their relationship from the beginning through Gall's death in "The Defiant One."


Ariadne83 and I started writing this fic in 2008 because we decided "The Defiant One" just wasn't sad enough as it is. We also wanted to explain why Rodney, who almost invariably calls everyone by his or her last name, very comfortably and naturally calls Dr. Gall by his first name the entire episode. This implied some kind of history between them that we wanted to explore. Finally, we sometimes find it hard to reconcile the Rodney we first encounter in SG-1 with the Rodney he will later become in SGA. It's hard to watch him without cringing in some of those early episodes. So this is our effort, not to redeem Rodney or change him in any fundamental way, but to present him as he's given to us in canon and show how that man who is "petty, arrogant, and bad with people" might one day become the man who regularly risks his life for his teammates.

So, I wrote some stuff for the Day of DS9 Commentfic Fest.

( SGA/DS9 XOVER )

( Jadzia(Emony)/Leonard Mccoy )

( The one with Jake's Dabo-girlfriend, Mardah )

This is based on the premise that they don't just shuck Elizabeth through the Gate for all eternity.






( but a walking shadow )

Reposting these from their original home in friendshipper's Drabble Tree.

( Uhura and Teyla are totally doing it, yo )

( Woolsey is precious! )

I am a dumbass. *crickets* What? This wasn't news? *sigh* I forgot to post here that I written an entry for femme_fic way back in April!

So here it is:

Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History.

I also forgot to rec the fic that was written for me at the time. *headdesk* I'll get right on that; I need to re-read first. :)

I flashficced:

Pegasus: Five Coping Mechanisms.

Gen.

Five drabbles.

*grin*

In springwoof's post How Koyla Really Died (an invitation to comment-fic the deaths of your favorite Gateverse villains), auburnnothenna says:

I think there needs to be an SGA festival of [the] way Lucius Lovin died.

Methinks yes!!

Go play in springwoof's sandbox. There's already several offerings there. And while you're at it, drop a comment here and let us know how you think Lucius kicked the bucket.

Title: The Soul is Dead that Slumbers
Rating: G
Warnings: Spoilers for "Ghost in the Machine"

This is a set of five Elizabeth-centric drabbles that explores what happens to her after we last see her in "Lifeline." Title taken from Longfellow.

( Dying is the worst kind of betrayal—her blood falling still in her veins, her lungs folding in on themselves like accordions, her skin cooling on the deck at Oberoth’s feet—while her consciousness, the incorporeal things that make her who she is, continues. Elizabeth watches herself gasp out a last breath, eyes rolling back in her head, and wonders how she will bear this divorce of flesh and spirit. )
