pants to match

First of all, thanks so much for all the congrats on my MARRIAGE (omg!) - it'd take forever to go through them all and thank you all properly, but you are SO AWESOME and I love all my heartless robot friends and all my lurkers!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! It's a shiny new year! 2008! Should I do a fic wrap up? I have nothing else for you - I have to think up a new epic or something, to counteract the complete ridiculousness of my last two fics (whooooo!!)

Although I still have some SGA on this list, and one random AWESOME (I'm so modest) Harry Potter fic, 2007 was the year bandslash stole my heart, my brain, my soul. Oh, Brendon. What I wouldn't give for you to actually be a gay indiscriminate hugger who's afraid of teenage girls *le sigh*. These are listed from oldest to newest. Maybe you'll find one you missed!

( the 2007 fics! )

Title: Turn Sharp
Pairings: Hermione/Blaise-ish, Draco/Ron-ish
Word count: 5300+
Rating: PG
Summary: Malfoy’s jaw tensed, muscles jumping, and he bit out, “This isn’t about trust, Granger. This is about you currently being the only fourth we could agree on.”
A/N: This is another HP/SGA fusion fic! This is # 3 in my Directional Series, following Stay Left. Reading both Go Far and Stay Left before this one is strongly encouraged. Huge thanks to druidspell for the excellent beta :) As it stands now, there will be one more DS story, from Malfoy's pov.

( Turn Sharp )

A/N: Three ficlets set mere weeks after Bagglevarger's Theory of Inversive Magic, so you kinda have to've read that first. These are not quite raw, but completely unbeta'd, short, fluffy, pointless, and I hope to do some future fic in this universe at some point, but for right now you get Rodney, and his embarrassing weakness for John and Hufflepuffs. For chopchica.

Title: Hufflepuffs Are Not Puppies, Feel Free To Kick
Summary: Seriously. Hufflepuffs
Word count: 941

( Hufflepuffs Are Not Puppies, Feel Free To Kick )

Title: The More You Get, The More You Have
Summary: Rodney was sort of miserable all by himself.
Word count: 654

( The More You Get, The More You Have )

Title: If A Job's Worth Doing, It's Worth Paying Someone Else To Do It
Summary: So essentially he needed to apologize to John.
Word count: 1185

( If A Job's Worth Doing, It's Worth Paying Someone Else To Do It )

I'm pretty sure this year has been my most prolific in terms of writing. John and Rodney are just so inspiring :) Let's take a look back, shall we? *wavy dream-sequence lines*

( teh 2006 fics )

That's it! I didn't count Start Where You Begin, because it's not even remotely finished, but wow. What is that, 24 fics? Awesome.

Title: Go Far
Pairing: Ron/Malfoy-ish, implied Sheppard/McKay
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4,300+
Summary: The Pegasus Galaxy wanted Ron dead.
Warning: As should be obvious above, this is a HP/SGA fusion fic. Non-magic.
A/N: Self-indulgent stuff and nonsense. If you’re unfamiliar with my HP stuff, I tend to go my own way with the characters. If you’re familiar with my HP stuff, I haven’t written Ron and Draco in a long time, so bear with my less than stellar Brit cadence. Massive thanks go to druidspell for the beta, helpful comments & suggestions, and all around encouragement.


( Ron regretted his decision to hopscotch into the Pegasus Galaxy about once every two weeks or so. )

Title: The Entirely Wrong Way (1/2)
Rating: PG-13 (I seriously thought it would be more, but alas, no go)
Pairings/characters: Hermione/Blaise, Draco/Ron, a few spatterings of others. Various persons pop up here and there.
Summary: The Honorable Hermione Granger always seemed to get into the most horrendous scrapes. A Pirate!AU with Captain Draco Malfoy at the helm of The Tidy Squall, and Mr. Blaise Zabini at his side.
The Long List of Important Story Notes and Warnings!!!!
I hate research. You're lucky I even bothered with a few details in this *grins winningly*
~ "Old coat" is an old sailor, not a misspelling of "old coot" - just to clarify.
~ The Abacos Islands are a string of largely uninhabited islands in the Carribean, however I doubt they were called Abacos when this story takes place - I'm not even going to bother to pin down a date, but 16 or 17 hundreds thereabout - but I don't care. I'm calling them Abacos. Blue Cay is completely fictional.
~ Good King Wenceslas was written far after this adventure as well, but I liked the idea of Hermione's father singing that particular ditty, so I left it in.
~ The ages of everyone are mixed up for the purpose of some accuracy to the time period. And I use the phrase "some accuracy" quite loosely. Draco and Blaise are early 30's, Hermione, Hannah and Ron are barely 17 or so, and everyone else it doesn't much matter. You can just imagine for them.
~ I purposely abuse the word "aye" because I love it so. Also, I take full advantage of the "Pirates" poke from PotC - which I shan't explain but you'll be able to pick up on it, I'm sure.
~ Some of you may hate me for my characterization of Harry in this. I apologize in advance.

Lastly!! This turned out incredibly fluffy, everyone is OOC, my language is much more verbose - I think it's my inner romance novelist coming out - because, oh yes. This has Harlequin stamped all over it. I wrote this entirely for my own amusement. Hopefully some of you will enjoy it as well.
And it's open-ended, nothing quite completely wrapped up, because I might possibly write in this world again :)

( The Entirely Wrong Way: Part One )

I was in a pensive mood.

Quick ficlet about a losing war. Ron's team is trapped, their options limited, their loyalty to the secrets of the Order firm. A bit open-ended and raw. Minor off-screen character death warning, tho it's one of my favorites so I had a hard time doing it.

This isn't all that good, but I'm fond of some of my descriptors *nods*

( There were shifting shadows, moving black hulks flickering in and out of the semi-bare branches, wand-tips flaring with brief confidence, harsh barks of laughter spiraling up towards the second story like smoke. )

Title: This Is Not A Story About Lavender
Rating: Really, I think it's only PG
Summary: AU, non-magic. Ernie doesn't realize he's lost everything until Lavender startles her way back into his life, and ends up giving him more than he ever wanted. This is not HET. This is SLASH.

Author Notes and Important Preambles: So I sat down with the intention of writing a Harlequin-esqe Harry Potter AU. Cheesy romance at it's best. I looked on the Harlequin site for inspiration, but none of the amazingly bad summaries jumped out at me... I couldn't picture anyone in those roles. So I thought to myself: Dude, you can totally come up with a cheesy romance plot on your own! I immediately thought: Psychic!Lav! It totally works. And she goes home to... farmboy!Ernie! So we've got the future (Lav) and the past (Ernie) and then I thought... we need someone to shake things up. And thus a new pairing was born.

This ended up being mostly about Ernie, though. I think it's still waaaaay cheesy, and a little angsty, and a little fluffy. And I also think this might as well be original since it's long-gone beyond AU and into the land of "you made Seamus a dog?" Dudes. I totally did.

Extra notes: Working title. Unbeta'd. The pace and transitions are reminiscent of The Commune Love Story. Technically the first draft, so let me know if you see any glaring holes. Also, the ending is lame. You already know I suck at endings though *nods*

( This Is Not A Story About Lavender )

*gasp* *shock* I've actually written something other than DT and DF! I am amazed at myself, but this Draco/Ron hit me last night. It's shortish, and I think it's trying too hard for something it doesn't actually acheive, but I've already told you folks that I suck at angst, so. Be forewarned.

Still, I'll do it up official like.

Title: Aftermath
Rating: PG-13ish
Summary: Ron can taste Dark Magic, and Malfoy's mouth is clean. Reconstruction in west London.
Author notes: Yeah. Tries too hard, but I love the feel of it. The flow is similar to my Commune Love Story. This is unbeta'd and really raw. I may rework it later on. And the ending is abrupt, I know. Sorry.
