I seem to be trolling Comment fic a bit lately. Today's theme is the apocalypse, and if you you know me at all, you know that was gonna be hard for me to resist!

[livejournal.com profile] ami_ven asked for Stargate SG-1, Sam/Jack, they were off-world when it happened.

~o~o~o~


It had taken them 5 weeks to find a way to reach the Alpha site and, now that they'd made it, Sam wished they hadn't.

It was too late for that, of course, too late to un-see the hastily strewn crates of counteragent, the biohazard symbol glaring up at her from every flat surface, warnings in every language Daniel knew - knows - plastered to every side of every crate, loose pamphlets fluttering in the wind.

It was too late to unsee the ruins of the gate, too late to unknow those last frantic hours on the other side, the mad scramble for evacuation turning to despair and containment and destruction.

She knew she'd never be able to unhear the General's wail, his broken sobs, or to unfeel the hot flow of his tears as they soaked through to her skin, or the desperate press of his face into her belly and the spastic clutch of his hands on her thighs...

Sam cradled Jack's head in her hands, her fingers carding firmly through his hair. She turned her face away from the rubble of the gate, down the trail toward the alpha site and into the wind.

Eventually, it would dry her tears.

It's one sentence day over on Comment fic and that has apparently inspired me (to abuse the word "sentence", at any rate).

[livejournal.com profile] ravenspear asked for Battlestar Galactica; Leoben (/or& any); hymns
It surged through Leoben every time he looked at Kara, a thousand voices thundering, weaving through aching highs and deep, ground-shaking lows, coalescing into a single song that he'd follow absolutely anywhere (and thank God she didn't know that).

[livejournal.com profile] badgerling asked for Stargate SG-1, Daniel/Cameron, the infirmary
Daniel stood at the gallery window, breath held tight, body so stiff it it was going to be one huge ache later, his focus tight on Mitchel's writhing body below; Jack backed out slowly, careful not to be noticed.

[livejournal.com profile] camshaft22 asked for Stargate SG-1, Cameron Mitchell, Snowfall
It fell all around him, dancing in the soft wind, glowing as it haloed his team, the powder downy against his face, sticking to his cheeks where they were wet, all that was left of an entire civilization landing on his eyelashes; Cam closed his eyes, wishing desperately for snow.

A while ago I posted an odd little werewolf story. It was dark and moody and intentionally kinda vague.

Apparently, it was also inspiring in some way, because my friends have a based a whole bunch of wonderful stuff on it... stuff I have been very delinquent in sharing. So, in chronological story order I give you:

[livejournal.com profile] varkelton's prequel/Sammy's POV: Descent into Shadow

[livejournal.com profile] sinandcinnamon's prequel, John's POV: Shadow Stains My Heart

My story: Steel on Shadow

[livejournal.com profile] denyce's wonderful Sketch (set during Steel on Shadow)

[livejournal.com profile] varkelton's sequel: In the Shadow of Hunger (a much happier ending than I'd've ever managed ;)

This chapter kicked my ass. No, seriously, it may be short, but it totally kicked my ass (too many important bits for my twisty brain to rein in).

Sorry for the incredible delay. I kinda feel like I've got a handle on things again, but I'm not gonna make any promises. Hitting "post" now, before I chicken out.

::BOUNCES::

I got Henry/Mike for Yuletide!!! I will read just about anything in Blood Ties, so I was excited just to see the fandom and then it kept getting better and better. I really suck at recs, but if you've missed Henry and Mike at all, then you're gonna love this.

And make sure to tell the author how wonderful she is!

My mom would have loved this sweet little short film very, very much. And so, smiling through my tears, I share it with you all. It's not christmasy; it's best-of-human-nature-y and that was what she taught me the season should really be about. (Also? It has Hodgins)

I miss you mom. Thanks for slipping this through my spam filter.

May the spirit of warmth and togetherness warm you souls. May the feeling that anything is possible as long as we all believe lift your hearts toward the stars. May those same stars feel near and close and real, yet never lose their magic.

Happy winter, everybody!

These are for a story I am not gonna write...

I really have no explanation to offer here. It's been a very long, very sick, week and the pictures speak for themselves. Sort of. Well, as much as they're gonna speak, anyway.









I blame fever dreams (there was really rather a lot of fever). Also, [livejournal.com profile] varkelton. I am sure that these are somehow her fault.

Seriously, NOT gonna write this story - it's just a passing butterfly!
rivestra: (WTF)
Don’t read ahead! Pick you five favorite shows (in no particular order), then answer up!

Now I gotta go to bed. (Assuming I can still find it.)

I write like
Douglas Adams

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!



I also write like (depending on what I enter as my writing) Stephen King, James Joyce, Chuck something-or-other-that-had-many-letters-and-begins-with-a-P-and-went-by-too-fast-for-me-to-really-notice and JK Rowling (that last comes off giving it Sink Into Stone, which... IDEK). Either I'm pretty damn MPD, or, just possibly, there's something odd about the code being used here. Ok, that last probably should've been an AND, not an OR statement.

Still, Douglass Adams* FTW! \O/

*That's off Kaleidoscope, if'n yer curious

So, yeah, I was in the mood to icon. Enjoy.

Comments and credit are lovely things!

Tugging at the edges of the blindfold with his teeth, Alec growls at the closing door. The bolt slides home just as he pulls the offending cloth free.

Behind him, someone coughs and Alec whirls around sharply in surprise. The room spins violently around him, his brain colliding head on with the drugs the SOBs pumped him full of down in the intake room. He clings to the wall and tries to hold on to his lunch.

When the swirling finally clears, the sloppy shadow in front of him resolves into the form of a man. A really built, tall man. Tall as in he’s got to look up to see the guy’s face, and he's not used to that. He finds it concerned and confused when he does, bright eyes hunting his own in a too-familiar search for a clue.

Too bad, because Alec’s got nothing.

The guy sticks his hand out, and Alec accepts the offer warily, tossing, “I’m Alec,” out into the dim cell.

“Sam,” the guy responds, sizing Alec up with for a moment before adding, “Winchester. You got any idea why we’re here?”

Alec starts to laugh, but his brain chooses that moment to offer up an idea and he starts to choke instead. His airway isn't really clear, but he glares at the ceiling and growls out, "Probably because someone's got a fucked up idea of what breeding partners means," into the room.

SO, WHO'S NEXT?
rivestra: (Facepalm)
Maybe I'll even get a bingo this year - though I'm not encouraged by the fact that I couldn't fit the story I just posted to a square...

Card is this a-way! )

I'd love prompts or suggestions. I'm not gonna make any promises about 'em, but if they're not RPS or anime then there's a decent chance they'll infect my brain.

Summary: A long time ago Daniel's compass shifted. His true north always points to Jack.

~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~

A long time ago Daniel's compass shifted. His true north always points to Jack.

This means Jack is the first thing Daniel sees when he careens through the wormhole behind Cam and just ahead of the P4X124's missiles. It means Daniel catches Jack's look before he locks it down, that he sees concern flash to outrage before it's plastered over with Jack's patented military cool.

It means Daniel has enough of a head start to get between Cam and the General. He stands up tall and whole between them, refusing to allow the screaming from his ankle to manifest as a limp. Jack's eyes are a tangible force as they sweep Daniel's body and Daniel sags a little when they let him go, stepping quickly away to let the General pass.
