My prompt was AU, Endings and Beginnings. There would be italics here and there, but I didn't feel like doing all the coding. If any of these strike your fancy, please tell me. I'll be more likely to finish them at some point if I know someone wants to read them.

the one where John was an ancient Ancient )

but what if I want you to finish all of them?

Honestly, I want to finish all of them too--even the one where John dies (briefly), although I think I'd have to be in a very particular headspace to get through that one. The problem is that I have at least twelve other stories that I also want very much to write (and when I say "twelve", I really mean "at least twenty").
In order to get through everything, I'm going to have to be organized. Which is always a pain, but it looks like there's no help for it.
I have the feeling I'm going to do a lot of writing this summer.

Oh, but especially the one where John talks to Helia. I really like . . . everything about that conversation. Their right to be there. His choice to be human. His responsibility to his people. That last line. So good! Though I also enjoy your other AUs where he's something like three-quarters ancient and sleeps only a few hours a night. (The John Sheppard Ten Things ficlet you wrote a while back is a personal favorite!).

Wait a little bit, and it will probably happen. My big project this summer (aside from work and figuring out how to function as something other than a student) is going to be clearing out my very full WIP file, which includes these even though they're technically not "in progress".

*looks shifty* There's actually a fair bit of bleed-through in that conversation, which is one reason why I wound up putting that story to the side--I couldn't tell whether it was John speaking, or me speaking through him. But yeah--at least one of us needed to talk about that stuff, and it's always bothered me how careless (and stupid) Helia & co. were, and how the expedition simply left without even an argument. I know they had reasons for doing so, but still.

But really, I'd take any of them...

...Although the Rodney one would be good, too, if Shep were to come along and teach him a thing or two!

The Rodney one might happen, simply because I need the practice at writing him, but I don't yet have a grasp on the world of that AU, which makes it hard to do more than sketch things out a little.

I haven't seen the movie, but Caspian is a lovely book, like all the rest of the series--enjoy!
It's wonderful to know you're working on these stories, I'm looking forward to the results! ^^
