Fic
It's still a million degrees. What's going on here? I'm melting (just like Elphaba).
Two little fics today.
Title: Fate
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: Jack, mentions of Owen and Suzie
Spoilers: Through Doomsday
Rating: PG
Summary: Rose Tyler. On the list of the dead.
He finds it by accident.
The computers are down and he's in his office, frantically running his finger down a list of names, searching for a boy who hasn't been seen since the Battle of Canary Wharf, when suddenly there it is. Rose Tyler. On the list of the dead.
Jack's heart constricts painfully and his eyes burn as he stares. Somehow, stupidly, he's always thought they would be infinite, always believed that, like himself, the Doctor and Rose would live and travel together together. He should have expected that something like this would happen.
The door bursts open and he looks up to see Owen and Suzie standing there, asking impatiently if he's found anything. Jack shakes his head no, and he's relieved that they don't stick around to ask anything more, so that they don't see Jack stand quite still for a moment, finger still hovering over Rose's name as he collects himself.
Then he goes back out, focuses on the task at hand. He doesn't let this get in the way.
Much later, when he meets the Doctor and learns what really happened to Rose, he thinks of the way her eyes had always lit up when they went to a new place, and they way she'd sparkled when she looked at the Doctor.
Somehow, he can't help wondering if the official fate would have been better.
Title: Come Again
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Abby/Ziva, Abby/Kate
Rating: NC-17
Summary: In the half dark of the lab, with Ziva's NCIS jacket and hat, Abby sees someone else.
Abby's alone in the lab one night when Ziva comes down to see her. She wants to know about the case they're working on, but when she asks about the DNA samples, Abby doesn't answer, just stares at her, because in the half dark of the lab, with Ziva's NCIS jacket and hat, Abby sees someone else.
"What is it?" Ziva asks, aware of the scrutiny, but Abby doesn't reply, and steps forward instead to kiss her.
She steps back, eyes a little wider than normal, but Abby attacks again, hands coming to rest of firm hips and this time the other woman begins to respond. Her tongue slips in Abby's mouth, and Abby's hands move upward to tangle themselves in dark hair that she doesn't remember being this curly. Soft hands push away Abby's shirt and unhook her bra, and then a warm mouth is on her breasts, sucking and nipping and that's new, Abby thinks, and she wonders where her partner learned these new tricks, but she's enjoying herself too much to care. Then there are hands underneath her skirt, doing something wonderful between her legs, and Abby can't help whining in pleasure. Long fingers, longer than Abby remembers, are thrusting in her, and Abby jerks, breathing, "Kate," as she comes.
Ziva lets her ride it out and Abby comes back to herself and it's then she sees only Ziva in front of her, and hot shame rises up in her. Ziva steps back and wipes her hand clean.
"I am sorry," she says. "I am not Kate." She turns and leaves, and Abby, still half-naked and dishevelled, watches her go, wishing it didn't hurt so much that Ziva is so right.
