Stargate: Atlantis

[Blush]: It's not a bug, it's a feature.

[Selfish]: It's not how he pictured it at all. [The inside out and backwards remix of [Blush]

[17.5: a love story]: He had never in his life thought that another guy had a pretty mouth; he wasn’t going to start now.

[This Gun's For Hire]: "Here’s an idea," John said. "Let’s just not talk about it. That’s been working pretty well for the last two months."

[Your Inevitable Unhappy Ending]: It was easy to imagine fucking Rodney, the way he'd groan and clutch at John's arms and be too bossy about the whole thing; it was easy to imagine the problems it could cause.

[The Top of the List]: Rodney tries hard.

[Gratitude]: "Keep still," Ronon says. "Hold on."

[Dr. McKay Makes Girls Go Wild]: He's not even smug about it; he doesn't brag.

[Take Clothes Off As Directed]: "You can't make a sub the military commander of Atlantis," Ford said.

Harry Potter

[Third Time's the Charm]: After a year of unexpected and ugly deaths, Muggle and otherwise, the reinstatement of the Hogsmeade curfew, and a good deal of unsettling intelligence, it had been obvious that no one would much notice Dumbledore rehiring a slightly battered werewolf. "Especially," Severus had said, "as he can be more or less trusted not to make a total cockup of it all."

[Close Enough]: The war had given them all new and unexpected skills: Neville had learned how to break a man’s arm in three places, and Draco had learned kindness, and Ron, himself, had learned not to take unconsidered action. Almost.

[A Quaint Notion]: Everyone worries a great deal about their marks, and canon is violated viciously. on several counts.

Pop

[Easy Come, Easy Go]: um. the boss. the hustler. the contract killer. the loyal henchman. the gangster's moll.

[Obsession, for men]: Those fuckers, Chris thought, and went to jerk off.

[Freely Given]: Chris has a plan.

[be able to stop]: another in the JC and the Pussycats series. [with thanks to Dacey and Laura for beta action]

[The way you do it]: things don't go as planned. [with thanks to Dale and Laura for beta-type doings]

[All I Ever Needed]: a story about the triumph of the human spirit. and a barbecue.

[The Same Inside]: Things change.

[What you wanted all along]: A little sweetness, not much in the way of light.

Once upon a time, Synchronik wrote a cover of this story, and sweetened it up a good bit, as is his wont [and, really, my wont, when you get right down to it] but, sadly, it's not up at [Joe's Eats and Christian Bookshop.] Still, should you want to bother [him] for it, it's called Sweetness, Light.

You know the drill: dangerous mofos, hearts of gold. note: should you be an actual member of a sinister guerilla group in a nameless South American country, dedicated to overthrowing the fascist overlords, it is generally considered a good idea to cool it on the sexing it up and helpless longing.

Sports Night

[Semaphore]: Batten down the hatches and prepare for mel-o-drama: while no one will get terminally ill, liberties will be taken with greco-roman wrestling, Jeremy's fantasy sex life, and certain European figure skaters. Scrabble will be played by the international rules and Dan's mouth will do that thing. No, not that thing. Okay, that thing, too, but first it will do the thing where it looks like he might cry. Rather independent of anything that's happened on Sports Night lately. And speaking of which, I began this story months ago, so superficial resemblances to certain plot developments are wholly the result of beautiful synchronicity, except that my version of the synchronicity is NC-17.

[Unspoken]: Short and wallow-y. Dan and Casey don't talk.

[Call of the Wild]: A Sports Night story which picks right up after Kafelnikov and pretty much ignores anything else. Alternative title: Gigolo to the Stars.

TPM

[Lost in Translation]: Obi-Wan gets a diplomatic word in edgewise and receives a gift meant for Qui-Gon. Allow me to warn you of a painfully contrived plot.

Sentinel

[Not Exactly Funny]: Number 4 in the Conventions a-go-go Series: Oh my god, it's the Jim gets Amnesia story. Everyone talks far too much and Jim plays Scully to Megan's Mulder.

[Restitution]: Number 3 in the Conventions a-go-go Series: it's the substitute story, set on either side of The Sentinel by Blair Sandburg. It's also a rip-off of not one, but two Francesca stories. Oh the shame. All unintentional, as damning as the evidence may seem. Jim briefly relives the eighties; Blair briefly has agorophobia. We learn that the police academy is a cross between seventh grade P.E. and that kind of summer camp where they make you play volleyball and softball and strange capture-the-flag-esque games with incomprehensible rules and it's all supposed to be loads of fun and all you want to do is read a book.

[Seemingly Impermeable]: Jim talks about seventeenth century poetry and dill relish. And has an existential crisis of sorts. Blair plays Bingo and complains about Jim's salad-making ability. Set in and around The Real Deal. Number two in the Conventions a-go-go series: Jim and Blair get trapped in a dark cold place. oh dear.

[Other Kinds of Things]: Oh what the hell: the panther makes a brief appearance, Blair forsakes his role as chief analyst, and sandwiches are made.

[Eating at Home]: Hey, I thought, wouldn't it be interesting to do a story in which Blair and Jim don't get in a knock down, drag out fight? Actually, no. This, I think, qualifies as the most boring story I have yet written. It is, however, the first installment in the Conventions a-go-go Series, in which Jim and Blair have an undercover moment.

[Between Friends]: Jim's plans go awry while Blair gets an immense amount of material for his dissertation.

[An Unexamined Life]: Yet another Sentinel story that resembles a Will and Grace episode until Blair gets into the booze.

[Creatures of Habit]: a thrilling little Sentinel story, in which Blair overthinks matters while Jim loses his temper but eventually makes amends.
