This journal is semi-Friends Only.

I leave all my creative writing/etc posts here unlocked, as well as posts I think anyone might want to stumble upon if you find yourself in this journal. The personal things I lock. Feel free to comment here if you'd like to add me back, otherwise I'll just assume you're here for writings, etc. :)

Title: Other Methods
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis / SG1
Characters: Elizabeth Weir & Daniel Jackson (and tiny side helping of John/Vala that somehow slid in.)
Prompt: Het - Daniel Jackson/Elizabeth Weir, esprit de l'escalier
Word Count: 2,204
Rating: PG
Summary: When Elizabeth Weir is around he can't seem to think.
Author's Notes: Written for sg_rarepairings. I didn't hit the prompt as much as I intended, but I still enjoyed this. Nerdy love for the win.

( Daniel Jackson speaks twenty-three languages, and that doesn't even include the dead languages like Latin and Egyptian. )

THE FANFICTION LOVE MEME

I know it's lame, but it's been a very long day and I have six hours to go. So, love? If you'd like to. ♥

Title: A New Outlook on the Holidays
Rating: PG for a couple of bad words?
Characters: John Sheppard/Elizabeth Weir
Spoilers: None. Consider this pre-Sunday or in an awesome AU where things went differently.
Category: Absolute and irredeemable fluff.
Summary: John Sheppard wasn't a fan of Thanksgiving. He wasn't a fan of holidays, really. They came and went and he only noticed by the questionable sweaters people chose to wear, or by picking up casual conversations about the holiday glee.

A/N: So, for me fluff is the hardest thing to write. I much prefer angst, or angst with fluff. This is absolutely and purely just fluff, with no real plot whatsoever. Because hey, it's the holidays and why not? This also contains John and his estranged relationship to his family because I've always felt, personally, that it's important to his character and Elizabeth as an only child because that's my personal fanon. And it's un-betaed so all horrible and glaring errors are mine alone. Feel free to flog me appropriately for them.

( A New Outlook on the Holidays. )

I'm about to make two back-to-back posts because I have two things to say that are very different. The first is a fanfiction rec post.

Because, YOU GUYS. How did I not know there was a TNG/Atlantis fic in existence? That has Picard/Crusher and John/Elizabeth? HOW AWESOME IS THAT? I was seriously giddy reading through it, because hello, Beverly Crusher and Elizabeth Weir hanging out? How awesome would they be as BFFs? They've totally got the same sense of humor. And despite the crack factors of combing Trek and Gate all the characters are still in-character and god, it made me miss TNG.

I don't even know if there's anyone on my flist who watches Trek and Atlantis, but if you like both you should absolutely check this fic out. It even made me thoroughly enjoy and ship the Will/Deanna moments, and they're a canon ship I've never really given all that much thought to one way or another, although I might just ship them now. Which says a lot to how well this has been written out.

The fic is Vermicular Confusion by oparu. Have I mentioned it's fantastic? Because it is. And I want the two crews to hang out all the time now.

First, there's a lovely Sparky drabble tree going on over here. You should go and participate because it's awesome.

Second, I'm copying charmedashley and doing a Picspam of My Top 10 Favorite Stargate Characters. Which, of course, was hard. Right now I'm obviously preoccupied with Elizabeth, but my top 3 honestly probably tie for first. Although I do want to be Elizabeth Weir so she gets points for that from me. And 5, 6 and 7 are all on about the same level too. But 5 is like, the only reason I kept watching SGA through season 5 so he gets to top the three of them. So, yes:

Title: Anabiosis & Anacampserote (2/2)
Rating: R
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard, John/Elizabeth, various Atlantis supporting characters.
Spoilers: All, this makes mention of the Atlantis finale and follows after the events of it. Especially includes mention of Ghost in the Machine and First Contact/The Lost Tribe.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did this would have been canon.
Beta: hihoplastic who was lovely enough to look it over even though she was very busy. &hearts♥♥. Any mistakes that might have fallen in are my own.
Summary: When the Wraith come back to Earth with Asgard technology an ascended Elizabeth comes to John, who is captured on a Hive Ship, with a plan to help intervene.
Notes: See part one. :)

( It was like fate was playing a demented version of Jack in the Box with her and he couldn't stand it. She was there, she was gone, she was there, she was gone, she was there but he knew she was going to be gone again. )

Title: Anabiosis & Anacampserote (1/2)
Rating: R
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard, John/Elizabeth, various Atlantis supporting characters.
Spoilers: All, this makes mention of the Atlantis finale and follows after the events of it. Especially includes mention of Ghost in the Machine and First Contact/The Lost Tribe.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did this would have been canon.
Beta: hihoplastic who was lovely enough to look it over even though she was very busy. &hearts♥♥. Any mistakes that might have fallen in are my own.
Summary: When the Wraith come back to Earth with Asgard technology an ascended Elizabeth comes to John, who is captured on a Hive Ship, with a plan to help intervene.

Notes: So, I know how ridiculously cliche the 'Elizabeth ascended and is back guys!' plotline is... but I really wanted to give this a go. This is also my shot at what I wish would happen in the Atlantis movie, granted this is just the John/Elizabeth part of it. This could have easily been a massive general fanfiction, but since it's already the longest thing I've written I decided to just focus on the lovely John Sheppard and Elizabeth Weir and their dynamic as seen by a shipper. I'm fairly proud of this story, and hope you enjoy it. :)

Oh, and because of my love for archaic words:
Anabiosis: return to life after seeming death.
Anacampserote: something which can bring back a lost love.

( John was pretty sure this was how he was going to die. )

So, I want to do comment fic! As in, you prompt me and I'll reply with a drabble (or longer, depending on inspiration,) as a comment. I just want to start writing because I've started and stopped so many fanfictions (my produced/thrown out the window ratio of fics is getting ridiculous.)

Also, I'm going to force myself to write anything. Right now I obviously have a heavy John/Elizabeth writing thing going on, but I'm going to try a little of everything to kill this writer's block.

And I ask you guys for prompts a lot and you're always lovely and then I never actually use them because they go into that 'thrown out the window' category. So, forced writing!

So please be prompting me?

For the record, my fandoms/ships (though I'll give anything a go,) are:

Shows: Stargate: Atlantis. Stargate: SG1. Battlestar Galactica. How I Met Your Mother. Dollhouse. The X-Files. Farscape. The West Wing. NCIS. Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. Angel. Firefly. Star Trek: The Next Generation. Sanctuary. House MD. X-Men. Warehouse 13.

OTPs: Adama♥Roslin. Mulder♥Scully. Jack♥Sam. Daniel♥Vala. John♥Elizabeth.

Ships: Lee♥Kara. Tigh♥Ellen. Josh♥Donna. CJ♥Toby. Sam♥Ainsley. Spike♥Buffy. Angel♥Cordelia. Giles♥Anya. Wesley♥Fred. Barney♥Robin. Mal♥Inara. Picard♥Crusher. Logan♥Ororo. John♥Aeryn.

(With Stargate I also like Elizabeth/everyone and Daniel/Janet.)

I doubt that many people will reply, so you get as many prompts as you want.

Title: Dissolution
Rating: R
Characters: John Sheppard, John/Elizabeth
Warnings: Character Death(s)
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did it would have been a very different show.
Summary/Spoilers/Category: Vegas-centric AU where Elizabeth is the medic John couldn't save. This shows how their relationship developed and goes to the end of Vegas.
Notes: I made a goal a while ago to write a sad fanfiction with no hopeful qualities whatsoever. I... really fail at not leaving optimistic endings, but the Vegas AU certainly lends itself to angst. Especially since I think most John/Elizabeth shippers had the immediate thought of "The medic was Elizabeth!" And although I'm sure it's not an original idea, I wanted to give it a try.

( Her lips quirked in amusement again, and he had the feeling that very little got under her skin or fazed her. )

Title: On The Threshold
Rating: PG
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John/Elizabeth
Spoilers: Ghost in the Machine. It runs directly with the last scene of Elizabeth and past it.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did it would have been a very different show.
Summary: She wonders when she stopped considering herself as human.
Notes: It should probably be noted that Ghost in the Machine is my least favorite episode of television ever. I also have trouble not seeing it as canon because I'm sure it was intended to be Elizabeth Weir no matter how horribly they chose to write her. This is just my own little addition to the end as I thought it should have happened. :)

( She wonders when she stopped considering herself human. )

Title: Five Missing John/Elizabeth Scenes
Rating: PG-13 / T
Pairings: John/Elizabeth
Spoilers: Rising, Common Ground, Lifeline, This Mortal Coil, The Last Man, mention of Ghost in the Machine.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did it would have been a very different show.
Notes: These are just my interpretation of scenes that could have been added to episodes, all in John/Elizabeth format because my brain is obsessive. The Last Man scene is one that I'd originally wanted to use in another fiction, but that particular story has evolved to a point where it won't use it, but I wanted to write it out anyway because it's an idea I've always liked. Some of these are cute, some are angsty. It's a mixed bag.

( He blinks at her, and finds that in one sentence she has somehow turned the tables and checkmated him all in the same second. )

It's Whedonland with STARGATE. Come on, you know you want to join. ;) I'd really like for this com to work out, it'd be great to get stargate fans together and just have wankless fun. ♥

Title: Five Things John and Elizabeth Accidentally Said to Each Other, and One Thing They Said on Purpose.
Rating: R (mildly graphic sexual content.)
Characters: John/Elizabeth
Spoilers: Mentions of Ghost in the Machine.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did it would have been a very different show.
Notes: I took prompts from my lovely flist, and this is the first I've been happy enough with to post. hihoplastic prompted me with this five things prompt, and it just grew from there. I used a few fanfiction cliches, but it was loads of fun and I hope it reads off that way. :)

( Elizabeth is screaming; John winces, this is a much funnier thing to behold when Rodney is the one on the other end of her death glare. When he's staring it down he just feels like... well, dying. )

Question: Would anyone on my flist be willing to beta a fic for me?

I have a Ghost in the Machine / The Last Man centric piece I'm working on that I actually quite like but it's just... not quite right, so I'd love to have another set of eyes look over it/tear it apart and set me straight. I feel like it should be expanded on and rewritten but I'm too close to it to tell how.

And everyone on my flist seems to be uber busy, so if I don't get any takers that's okay, too. ♥

Title: Disremembered Cognizance
Rating: PG-13 / T
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John/Elizabeth.
Setting: Sometime after Ghost in the Machine.
Summary: She sees flashes at night. She sees herself being tortured, walking in a place where everyone wears white robes, where she isn't what she says she is.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did it would have been a very different show.
Notes: So... I have about a billion ideas of how Elizabeth Weir could be revived. This is one that I started writing and couldn't stop. I've already written a general version of what the show should have done ascension, so this time I wanted a shippy piece that didn't involve ascension but did involve Elizabeth being angry but hopefully still in-character. :)

( She sees herself floating in space, shutting down - though she doesn't understand how flesh and blood can shut down - and then thinking that would be the end to her story. )

So, here's the deal: I'm not normally one to recommend fanfiction. I don't read all that much of it, and I very rarely come across a piece that I absolutely adore or find as awesomely brilliant as this one was. So I don't know if I'll ever do this again, but, I've found at least one story I want to rec, so here it is:

Before And After by rushingwind.

This is an Elizabeth Weir, and John/Elizabeth story. The summary reads: Elizabeth finds herself traveling backwards through her life with no memory of how she started and no idea how to stop.. It starts out in the future, and moves back through the timeline, including Ghost in the Machine.

This is seriously the best fanfiction I've read in ages. I'd recommend it even if John/Elizabeth aren't your cup of tea and you just like Elizabeth Weir, because it continues her story beautifully. And I love it because it includes Ghost in the Machine, because no matter how much I hate that episode it is, technically, canon, so including it in the story and making the story as amazing as it is progresses the canon in a truly fantastic way.

It's the best fanfiction I've read in a long time, for any fandom. :)

Title: Five Times John Tells Elizabeth No
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: John/Elizabeth.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did it would have been a very different show.
Warning/Notes: Briefly implied character death. Shameless plot theft from SG1's "2010" episode. Dark!John, Drugged!Elizabeth, Fluffyness, etc. I've always wanted to do a Five Things fic for how diverse the collection can be, so here's my first try at one. :)

( He finds himself pinned back to the wall, lips on his and her scent overwhelming him. Elizabeth is literally jumping him, and that's enough to completely throw him into shock. )

Title: Alternate Possibilities
Rating: PG-13 (minor references to sex, nothing explicit.)
Pairing: John/Elizabeth.
Summary: When an ancient device malfunctions, Elizabeth finds herself dreaming about alternate versions of herself and John Sheppard.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, if I did it would have been a very different show.
Notes: So, this started out as a five things prompt and then it turned into this. I'm apparently going to be writing John/Elizabeth for a while more, as my muse absolutely adores them, I think it's the inevitable bittersweet quality about them. Comments are appreciated.

I feel like I should put a warning on this, because there definitely is a twist and the fic as a whole is a combination of fluffy and angst, but there's some heavier angst in parts. I swear I'll write a fun, fluffy piece eventually.

( Elizabeth's first reaction is that surely someone had spiked her drink during the festival. )
