There are a terrifying number of stories and words here, so please let me know if any links are broken. Audiofics that I've recorded have their own list, linked from the sidebar.

I also, at this point, want to thank the people who know who they are for their continual support, encouragement, prompts and much-needed kicks up the backside. None of these words would be here without them.

Board Wars (written with [info]greyias)
"Earth seems to have a lot of games." "We get bored easily."
6000 words
Written with [info]greyias for the 'Team' challenge over at [info]sga_flashfic. This is a multimedia fic that's probably better read than described. All I can say is that it was more fun than is possibly legal...

Home
Coming back to her people has not been coming home
630 words
Written for the [info]halfamoon fest.

Difficulties in Mathematics
Rodney paused, trying to think how he was going to explain without causing a general panic. Tact was probably called for and it would be as well to watch his words until he was absolutely sure about what was going on.

13800 words
For [info]with_apostrophe for [info]sga_santa 2008

This was a very, very old story that I resurrected and padded out. Again, Z made me put the heart into the story, so that Jack came out a little more broken than I'd intended. But it gave closure to some outstanding issues, for Jack and me, so I guess that's a good thing.

Quietus

Aqaba, 1917. This wasn't part of the assignment.

and
For the love of cheese
A disturbing secret is uncovered.
1145 words




Whoniverse: Sic Transit Tempus


The origin of this ficverse is rather simple, for once. I wanted to know how Jack changed from the happy-go-flirty conman in Doctor Who to the brooding man-of-mystery in Torchwood. That's it. That's all I wanted to do. But things are never quite that simple.
