Other Worlds

Welcome to Other Worlds.

A bit of a vanity project, a bit of an organizational experiment, this is where you'll find all of my fanfiction and, eventually, my original fic as well. Some has been published previously on ff.net, but chances are there's been some editing done in the meantime, so if you want to see the work in its finished form, this is the place to be.

Stories for right now will still be cross posted at my regular journal but we'll see how things develop as time goes on.

So sit down, put your feet up and read away.

Title: We Happy Few
Fandom: Supernatural
Disclaimer: They belong to Eric Kripke
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Everything up through 5x08, "Changing Channels"
Summary: Three angels in a bar, having an existential crisis or two.

Note: First fic in a long, loooong time. And it's darn near close to crack, though the angst and the Good Omens references seem to have snuck in there regardless. I tried, man, I tried.

( We Happy Few )

Title: Disruption
Rating: PG
Prompt: Romance/a medical prescription
Summary: Andrew has a routine. Too bad Tara isn't part of it.

Note: Written for the NYC Midnight 3rd annual short story challenge. An original(!) piece that had to a) be written in one week b) be 2,500 words or less and c) use the prompt above. A good experience and we're allowed to post stories for feedback as soon as we get confirmation from the site. And this is a fic journal, so why not, yeah?

And of course I receive the 'romance' genre after spending two hours ranting about it in a phone call to sarcasticval. Um, hooray for karma? Though all things considered, I don't think it turned out too badly.

Title: Détente
Fandom: The Dresden Files Book'verse
Disclaimer: They belong to Jim Butcher
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Everything up through Small Favor.
Prompt: Murphy and Marcone interaction.
Summary: She really hated the mall. And she wasn't too fond of the man sitting across from her, either.

Beta: The splendiforous jaina. Thanks again!

Note: The second Yuletide 2008 fic, this time written for the_off_chance. I won't lie, I loved writing this. I love Murphy, I love Marcone and for some reason, I find it really easy to write both of them. Also, apparently I like sticking Murphy in a mall on Christmas Eve. For no other reason than it amuses me. I might have to turn this into a tradition: "Murphy stuck in a mall again? Must be Christmas."

Title: Puppet Strings and Wooden Things
Fandom: Ergo Proxy
Disclaimer: They belong to Manglobe.
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Entire series.
Prompt: I like what Ergo Proxy does with identity and awareness. I have a soft spot for the AutoReivs (particularly Kristeva) and what the Cogito virus does to them. I'm fine with gen, het, slash, xeno/techno kink, and any rating.
Summary: But Pino was not a little girl and so never pretended to travel to far off lands.

Beta: meganbmoore. Thanks again!

Note: Originally written for penny in Yuletide 2008 and once again, I have succeeded in falling entirely behind in my fannish updates. Go me?

Of the two stories I wrote, this was by far the harder of the two, mostly because of all the characters, it's the AutoRievs I've got the most trouble capturing and here was a challenge which specifically requested them. Oy. It still feels like it's missing a scene, though I'm more or less satisfied with the rest of the sequences.

Rating: PG
Spoilers: For the whole series up through 1x13 'Second City.'

Title: Auld Lang Syne
Fandom: The Dresden Files TV'verse
Disclaimer: They belong to Jim Butcher, Robert Hewitt Wolfe and the Sci-Fi Channel.
Rating: PG
Spoilers: For the whole series up through 1x13 'Second City.'
Prompt: Bob, Harry and Murphy interaction for beth666ann.
Summary: A series of disturbing phone calls just before the holidays spells trouble for both Harry and Murphy.

Beta: Ryuutchi. Thanks again!

Note: Originally written for the 2007 Yuletide challenge. Though author names were revealed a while back, I fell behind in my updates and only just caught up with my archiving. This version is a bit cleaner than the Yuletide posting - mostly typos - but the original can still be found at the Yuletide archive.

Split into two parts to avoid character limits.

( Auld Lang Syne - Part One )

Title: Waltz
Fandom: Doctor Who, Firefly
Disclaimer: They belong to Joss Whedon, Russell Davies and the BBC
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Through S3 of Doctor Who, S1 of Torchwood and the BDM for Firefly. Plus That Companion Spoiler (sort of).
Prompt: Jack/Inara for Rokeon
Summary: Six times Inara ran into Jack Harkness

Note: Written for the annual Multiverse fic challenge as a pinch-hit assignment, now published here since authors' names were revealed. First time participant. First time with such a short turnaround time for an assignment. It is entirely possible I did it in a fit of temporary insanity.

This is a slightly cleaner version than the one at the archive since I've had the time to re-read and correct. Constructive criticism is still appreciated.

( Waltz )

Title: What Sort of Day Has It Been?
Fandom: Life on Mars
Disclaimer: They belong to people who are not me.
Rating: PG-13-ish
Spoilers: Post 1x06.
Betas: dorsetgirl and bloodrebel333. Thank you so much, guys!
Summary: They are alive and the world turns and it's enough.

Note: Written for smallfandomfest. The prompt was Sam/Gene/Annie, sharing a bottle of wine on a rooftop or in a field. The threesome is somewhat more subtext, than text, but I think it turned out well.

( What Sort of Day Has It Been? )

Title: Where Ever I May Roam
Fandom: Doctor Who
Disclaimer: It all belongs to the BBC.
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Post-S3. And features That Companion Spoiler for S4.
Summary: Phone calls, text messages, friends who let friends drunk-dial and Torchwood.

Note: Inspired by comments in post-finale threads that there should be drunken text messages between the Doctor and Martha. It all went downhill from there.


( Where Ever I May Roam )

Title: Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
Fandom: Charmed
Disclaimer: They belong to Constance Burge, Brad Kern, and the WB.
Rating: NC-17
Original Publication: charmedslash
Summary: That deadly trinity: demons, disco and sex.

Note: I'm actually not all that big on slash. Except apparently when it comes to Charmed. Possibly because there's so little of it, I have this perverse desire to see and write more. Plus, Drake. Man, I loved Drake. It was too bad he didn't get more screentime with Cole, because you got the feeling the two actors were having a ball together.

( Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down )

Title: Leap Year
Fandom: Charmed, Donnie Darko
Disclaimer: They belong to Constance Burge, Brad Kern, the WB and others.
Rating: R
Original Publication: charmedslash
Summary: Time travel's a bitch.

Note: It was the first time I wrote slash in years. It lacks plot. And the pairing is darn close to crack!fic. But I really, really like this story anyway.

( Leap Year )

Fandom: Randall & Hopkirk/Quantum Leap
