Fan Fiction Archived
Welcome to my journal! Here's my lovely collection of fic, spanning six fandoms (and counting). I write mostly gen fics, with a few pairings thrown in here and there--mostly on request. All stories are gen and rated no higher than T unless otherwise noted. Hope you enjoy!
The Pretender
My very first fandom. I don't have all my tP fics archived yet, but here's what I've posted:
"Twin Crosses" A dialogue-only drabble of exactly 100 words, set after "Red Rock Jarod."
Lord of the Rings
I'm getting back into Tolkien fandom, so this section may grow. Some of these fics share OCs and/or plot threads, so I've posted them in chronological order depending on where they fall in canon.
"Splintered Reflection." A series of reflections from the lives of Aragorn and Denethor.
"While Hope Lasts." With Arathorn dead, Gilraen thought she had nothing left to lose. She was wrong.
This fic is rated a hard T for numerous depictions of violence, particularly violence against children.
Chapter One: To Slay a Legend
Chapter Two: Of Flames and Flight
Chapter Three: Casualty
Chapter Four: Somebody's Child
Chapter Five: Elrondion
"The Sound of Laughter." In Rivendell, Estel's life is nearly idyllic. But, the world outside remains dark. When he encounters a wounded and traumatized child, Estel learns the meaning of loss, but also the meaning of healing.

A birthday fic for lindahoyland.
Battlestar Galactica
While I have an open WIP in BSG fandom, it is sadly on hiatus. Assume spoilers for the entire series. Fics are posted in the order that I wrote them.
"Junk." A short look into Adama's mind as he surveys his old Viper.
Posted on FFN long before I truly entered the fandom.
"Carry Me Home." Five things Admiral Adama said to Felix Gaeta and one time when he said nothing at all.
Major angst warning.
Chapter One: The Bucket
Chapter Two: The Mud Ball
Chapter Three: Home
Chapter Four: Orders
Chapter Five: Equivocation
Chapter Six: Carried
"Dinner With Ellen." Apollo needs to be rescued. Like, right frakkin' now!
Humorous fluff.
"'Dead' Like Me." The day after the firing squad, the Admiral and the Lieutenant sit down to congratulate themselves on a job well done.
More fluff with a side of denial.
"Beyond the Line" After Felix Gaeta is arrested on the eve of the planned mutiny, the crew of Galactica learn that some things are far beyond the control of any one man.
Angst, goes AU after "A Disquiet Follows My Soul." Spoilers through "Blood on the Scales." Eventually ten chapters.
Chapter One: Arrested
Chapter Two: Escalation
Chapter Three: Resolved
Chapter Four: Confrontation
Chapter Five: Trust
"The Gift of Hermes" Romo Lampkin knows what it means to be a surrogate son. Written for the bsg_remix for pusyzsty based on "A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words"
"Worship" After the mutiny, Louis says goodbye. Also written for puzsysty based on "A Goodbye I Didn't Know I Needed". This is angsty slash. It's also the only R-rated story I've written.
"So This Is Freedom" A brief look into Tom Zarek's world in the immediate aftermath of "Bastille Day." Written for the frak_that prompt "Around the Fleet."
"Do No Harm" The story of a mutiny, a medic, and the three patients who stayed with her. Written for the femgenficathon, features Layne Ishay.
Comment fics: Written in response to requests for a meme.
"Bunked" Hoshi's first day on the Galactica.
"Crash" Gaeta/Crashdown slash set during "Kobol's Last Gleaming."
"Forget" Gaeta/Cylon!Baltar slash set on New Caprica. Very angsty.
"Scope" Fluff. Helo serving as Gaeta's wingman while Gaeta tries to pick up guys.
"Boom" Boomer's arrival on Galactica doesn't go well.
The Wire
Thank falafel_musings for giving me the Wire bug. It's a small fandom (even smaller than The Pretender) without much of a creative community, so my fic may very well be the first of its kind. It's kind of fun, actually--inventing my own fandom as I go along. I hadn't realized how much of my style I adapt from other fanfics until I forced myself to write characters I'd only seen presented in the canon material.
"Between Heaven and Here" Board games and the afterlife.
Dollhouse
Dollhouse is one of those shows that I followed with typical fannish obsession but never felt the need to write for. That changed briefly when the penultimate episode, "The Hollow Men," came out, so I wrote one fic to deal with ALL THE FEELINGS it caused me.
"Everything You Made Me" Echo can't sleep.
Nikita
Nikita (the US version with Maggie Q) is a delightful little show that reminds me of my first fandom love, The Pretender. I've written one fic in this universe and may or may not expand that.
"The New Kid" When Michael was ordered to bring in a new potential recruit named Nikita, he knew the ex-fil wouldn't be pretty. He just hadn't planned on caring so much.
The Pretender
