Fic: Dying of the Light (Authority)
Ahh! I wrote a whole ten-page story! When did that happen?
The Authority is one of those source materials (like Harry Potter, like Torchwood, like most fandoms in which I've written fic) that's so full of holes you could write for a lifetime and not fill in all the missing scenes, let alone add new plots.

Okay, I'm back. :D Thank you so much for your kind review! I know the comic, even with all this "known for trendsetting decompression" business, still has to be way more compressed than I would like. I don't begrudge the comic the fact that it needs to tell an engaging action story, but I love filling in the character-driven gaps. I'm like that in most of my fandoms... I rarely come up with fresh adventures, just break down ones they've already had.
I was trying to come up with a way to end the story that wasn't so damn depressing, and then Angie handed me one. I was right in line with Midnighter when I realized that, "Hey, wait a minute... this isn't a goodbye. Why am I treating it like goodbye forever? Half an hour is long enough for a lot of things! *cue gutterbrain*"
Thank you again! Hopefully some more ficlets will crop up in the new year. :)
