Big Bang and Drabble Round Up
Well, all of the summer challenges have been finished and I'm moving onto fall projects (hello aiw_big_bang and het_bigbang!) I've got the three big bang fics that I have been rambling about since like March and a dozen or so drabbles from day_by_drabble. You know, the drabbles suprised me in what I didn't write (What? No Fringe? No Alice in Wonderland? No HALO?!?) and what I did (Um, hello, a Fraiser drabble?) but it was a lot of fun. I suspect I'll be in for the next round until it's during Christmas and I've got my hands full with yuletide and a certain advent project that I am majorly excited for (if it happens).
Anyway...on with the fic!
The Big Bangs:
Written for hardmode
Title: Under the Surface
Media Creator:
penny
Media Link: http://penny.dreamwidth.org/64129.html
Word Count: 36,300
Fandom: Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo: Reach
Genre: Action/Adventure, Friendship, UST, Angst
Characters/Pairing(s): John-117, Cortana, Catherine Halsey, Jacob Keyes, Avery Johnson, James Ackerson, with a tiny bit of John/Cortana thrown in for good measure.
Rating: T
Warnings: Very, very AU. If that sort of thing scares you, then this isn't the story for you.
Summary: The UNSC is fighting a failing war against the Covenant. Strongholds have been taken, hope is starting to fade. The only promising signs that the UNSC would ever would be able to stand against them are Halsey’s Spartans. Now, Cortana, Earth's first human-AI hybrid, has
just been assigned to work with the Master Chief to try to stop the power that threatens to overtake the world and destroy those who will
not follow them.
(On a side note...I have to admit. I am not a big fan of fanmixes. I just dnn't "get" them. I'm not a lyrics girl (which is why I love musical scores so much) so 95% of fanmixes don't click with me. However, that is so not the case with Penny's fanmix. Even with the sad state of the rough draft I sent her, she so got this story. It's got an excellent blend of music (even with a few instrumental pieces!) and I love it.)

Between slightly disapproving parents, a kingdom rife with gossip over who the princess' future husband will be, royal duties, royal disasters, villains and monsters, can you blame a guy for hesitating?
