SEPTEMBER 17 ( Read more... )

This is a bit from that "Cody's accidental vacation" fic that I posted ages ago... don't know if I'll wind up actually using it, but it's been so long since I managed any sort of fiction, it's definitely worth a small celebration!Cody's better than some--many, most--of his brothers at minimizing the time he's had to spend in med bays, but he's ( Read more... )

How many people are there in this country? How does this compare with world population? What is considered a small town/large town/city in terms of number of people? Here's where it gets a little tricky; we'll split things out a bit. We have Iranan's home, which is grassland in the shadow of the dividing mountains, and is probably comparable to ( Read more... )

Are the laws of nature and physics actually different in this world, or are they the same as in real life? They are approximately the same! You drop something, it will (barring interference) fall at the same rate it does here; heat transfers the way we're used to, plants grow under the conditions we're familiar with, an absence of light means it's ( Read more... )

Later, Wooley estimates the trip down at fifteen or twenty minutes; to Cody it will remain forever as one of the most painful eternities in his short life. By the time they reach the flattish place that’s as far as the locals can safely ride their animals, his awareness of his surroundings has narrowed to the fraction of a second that his injured ( Read more... )

A redux (not that anyone's reading these :P ) because there were a fair number of edits, and also there's no way I'm getting the next chapter finished in time to post today.
Wooley clearly doesn’t like it, from the way his expression goes completely blank, but Cody anticipated that. Rivet doesn’t say anything, just curls down so that his forehead ( Read more... )

Don't know if this will actually fit anywhere into Out of the Sweep of the Sea, so I might as well stash it here for the moment. One of the things I forgot to mention when I posted the first chapter of the fic is that this is really a crossover fic, it's just that the series it's crossed with doesn't exactly exist because I've never gotten around ( Read more... )

Wooley clearly doesn’t like it, from the way his expression goes completely blank, but Cody anticipated that. Rivet doesn’t say anything, just curls down so that his forehead touches Bliss’s. If his shoulders start shaking a little, Cody’s already turned away, tugging Wooley in the direction of the pilot seats and monitors. “Until Waxer and Boil ( Read more... )

3,000 words in two weeks is why I don't bother trying for NaNoWriMo proper anymore, but here's the first chapter of the Star Wars: the Clone Wars fic that's been itching at me for a while. For those not up on their SW:TCW lore, the only things you need to know are that everyone in this chapter aside from Obi-Wan is a clone trooper and they're about ( Read more... )

For timespirt's prompt: SGA - loyalty, friendship, dangerThere's an art to climbing trees. Ronon learned it from one of his cousins, in the early, heady days when Sateda could still pretend to itself that all was well. His body remembers the reach and swing, how to cling with knees and legs so the hands are free to grab--though he wishes in passing for the ( Read more... )
