Meme time.

Tell me three things you think I would never write and I will attempt to write at least a paragraph from one of them.

(if I'm not distracted with The Five Things That Never Happened to Astrid Farnsworth and the One That Did... Astrid, Weather Goddess, anyone?)

You're not on AIM anymore. :(

Will think about the meme...hmm...things you'd never write...

Okay, three things I don't think you'd write:

1) Sam/Seelix shippy fic
2) Any female character killing another one. (Not applicable if it happened in canon)
3) ...Elizabeth/Jack Sparrow sex during the ten-year interval. ;-) (This doesn't really count as possible paragraph fic. Seriously, don't do it.)

female killing female

It hadn't been hard to get added to the detail escorting another group of prisoners to the Astral Queen (once more a prison ship, this time for mutineers and people too stupid to pick the winning side). No one looked twice at the caption suited up, her eyes hollow. There were too few marines as it was for them to care.

She was just another body going with them.

Once there, it wasn't difficult to find the cell she was looking for. It was in a more deserted area, and she guessed they were segregating women from men. Or perhaps Seelix was trouble, and she was in some sort of solitary. The one guard didn't even look twice at Kara as she walked past.

Seelix didn't even look surprised to see her.

"The frak do you want, freak?" She snarled, already on her feet as Kara opened the cell.

The cage looked almost comfortable, and Seelix didn't look deprived in any way. People had died and Seelix was comfortable. Frak, Sam was a vegetable, his brain dead and buried and Diana Seelix was standing in front of her, freshly ( ... )

Er...thanks. This has cured me of my Seelix-hate, perhaps permanently. Which is...good? Ugh, I am so inconsistant. Or else I should have actually rewatched the mutiny eps before reading it.

Kara. In the Dollhouse. (And not breaking out.)

Oh, wait! That's THREE things you'd never write! Um...

John/Rodney, something completely Harlequinesque

The BSG AU where Lee and Laura were madly in love.

(I have ideas, but no time before sleep. still, one is done)

(Harlequin doesn't bring to mind romance novels, to be honest...)

The play was the thing. A thousand glittering eyes to watch and gasp as they went through the dance. As Rodney flirted with him, then turned and ran (the perfect Columbine, his cheeks rouged and his skirts flasing just a peep of his not-so-shapely ankles).

Giving chase was part of the game, even if cart-wheeling in the stiff costume was no easy thing. The collar chafed the back of his neck, and John thought longingly of Rodney's gentle hands on his skin.

It would, of course, all be worth it--for the kisses stolen in the dressing-room and Rodney's fulsome pleas afterwards. The taste of sweat and salt in the back of his mind, John threw an extra flourish in and bounded to the applause as it roared over him, washing away his discomfort in a sea of accord.

Wow - you took something that should have been just cracktastic and somehow made it awesome.

The taste of sweat and salt in the back of his mind, John threw an extra flourish in and bounded to the applause as it roared over him, washing away his discomfort in a sea of accord.
This is a really great sentence.

* Jo Grant, Kara Thrace, and Laura Cadman.

* Kara thinks Rygel is the key to stopping the Cylons once and for all.

* Aeryn Sun, Cadman, and Lorne.

#1. Lee had an arm hooked over Willie's waist, keeping her snug against his side. His daughter didn't seem to mind dangling upside-down as he walked away from the tiny schoolhouse that had finally been built. She was singing as loud as possible, the words bouncing and jolting with movement. Obviously, he and her mother needed to have a talk about appropriate songs for children to learn (Caprican drinking songs did not land on that lst). Kara would probably just laugh at him--she always did when it came to things like that. Apparently, she wasn't worried about the mental health of their child. Sometimes, Lee didn't think he could blame her much.

heee. well, here's another one, even so. =D

Aeryn killling herself. (whited out for spoilery purposes, THIS MEANS YOU, ALLIE)

Death was never something Aeryn had been afraid of. As a Peacekeeper, she had lived with it every day, expecting it to come with the morning. Flying her prowler until out of fuel, drifting in the dead emptiness of space--that was not dying in battle, or for a cause (a reason she was beginning to learn). But it was what she had. She would never accept his help.

In the end, death was her only option.
