sparrowinsky: A Forsaken, a human and winter festival decorations. (World of Warcraft)
It is a strange thing, memories. Rotted flesh touching a winter veil ribbon, almost feeling as if the years peel away, the skin heals and undeath turns to life. Human, yes. He was human once. A farmer, looking to the earth for his life, not knowing one day he would rise from it again and become this. Forsaken. Loved by none, not even themselves. He knows what he is.
But for one brief moment, he can remember something else; a human celebrating winter veil, all the darkness still ahead.
Forrobin_2370_hood: TARDIS landing in a snowdrift. Optional Doctor and companion became Ten and Donna. (Doctor Who)
The TARDIS doesn't get cold, but Time Lords do and humans do, and the Doctor is starting to get the tiniest of tine suspicions that's why they've really landed in this snowdrift on the South Pole and not in fact at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Unless they're meant to compete in Olympic wind shovelling; the snow you shovel up, wind drifts right back at you.
He is starting to think he and Donna might be right champions at it, and he knows Donna will be winner of imply-Time-Lords-are-complete-wankers right about the minute he tells her they don't really have to clear the snow around for the TARDIS to get off again and they will very soon be abducted by penguins with world domination plans who are eyeing them readily.
Maybe he'll just let her figure it out on her own. It's always more fun, that, and makes the yelling a lot more interesting.
Forkahva: Sarah Jane, Ten and a klingon bath'leth. (Doctor Who)
"That's Luke's," she says when he touches the Klingon bath'leth, and the look she gets in return tells her the Doctor is not fooled for a second. She merely folds her arms and looks back, and after a moment he grins.
She isn't sure why he's suddenly started to pop in randomly, but she can have a good guess. Last she saw him, he had Rose and Donna still with him; now he comes alone.
She doesn't ask, he doesn't tell, and the silence is full of grief.
"Klingons tried to invade Earth," she finally concides, and his eyes light up like a child's, staying bright through the whole story she tells him.
Sometimes she's not sure why he comes. Sometimes she knows all too well and lets him talk all the way through it.
Forzinke: Adama, Roslin and a letter opener. Probably season three-ish. (Battlestar Galactica)
One day, he sees her open a letter with her fingers; a glimmer at the corner of his eye as he walks away on Colonial One. She tears it open a little ungracefully and a little clumsily, and for a moment the look on her face is all concentration and a little impatience and Laura Roslin is not great at waiting, he knows.
More and more, he sees little glimpses like this; flashes of her in the corner of his eye and he isn't sure it's because she's letting him see now or if he's finally started looking.
The President. But Laura Roslin too, and Laura needs a letter opener.
He leaves one on his next visit, no note or ceremony to it. Gifts need neither to be sincere; and anyway, she sees him leaving it in the corner of her eye and smiles.
Forlotus79: Kara, Lee and a lump of clay. (Battlestar Galactica)
Sometimes she thinks of him as a lump of clay.
Lee can be shaped. Give him an idea, and he forms himself to it. Pilot, for his father and his brother. Rebel, for a cause that wasn't even his. President, for a time long enough. Lover, for her when she forgets herself.
Clay. Shape it, but it can fall apart, it can be reshaped and in the end the fire is what firms it.
Sometimes she thinks Lee hasn't passed through it yet.
Sometimes she thinks she is the clay, and when he looks at her, she is for the briefest of seconds what he sees in her.
(More to come.)
The year in fanfic
Total:
CSI: 1
Doctor Who: 2.5
Battlestar Galactica: 20.5
Narnia: 1
Everything We Don’t Say with Words
Teen.
Not everything needs words, his mother once told him when he tried to understand living without sound. You can still talk in silence. You can still hear when someone says nothing. You just don’t use your ears.[GSR]
Memories Like Lifelines (or How Bad Norwegian Reunited the Doctor and Rose)
Teen.
Once upon a time, something is wrong. Dårlig Ulv Stranden doesn't mean Bad Wolf Bay. One little linguistic mishap. Something slightly wrong. Something very wrong. Once upon a time, history is not what happened. [Ten/Rose]
Dreaming of Clear Streams
G.
Sometimes, when she sleeps, he watches her. [Adama/Roslin]
Only Stars
G.
The difference between a star and a sun is just where you're standing. [Adama/Roslin]
Five Ways Bill and Laura Came to Earth and One Way They Didn't
Teen.
We're already dead. All we have left is to live. [Adama/Roslin]
This Heart Is Not for Loan
Teen.
It's a gift, she knows. His to hers, hers to his. Never lend hearts. [Adama/Roslin]
Our Language (aka Five Books Bill Adama Read to Laura Roslin, and One She Read To Him)
Teen.
Books have become a language between them. [Adama/Roslin]
Eyes Open
Teen.
When he kisses her, she doesn't close her eyes. Always eyes open, Laura Roslin. [Adama/Roslin]
Life Enough
PG.
Beyond the end of the world, there is still life. [Battlestar Galactica/Doctor Who crossover. Tenth Doctor, Laura Roslin, Adama/Roslin, implied Ten/Rose, Galactica/TARDIS]
Sleeping With Your Laundry
Teen.
Bill Adama and Laura Roslin are definitely not doing laundry when Lee Adama walks in on them. [Adama/Roslin, Lee.]
What You See In Light
Teen.
Earth's light. She can already see it in his eyes as he looks at her, and it's the brightest thing in the universe. [Adama/Roslin, Lee, Hera, Baltar]
Love (As They Say)
Teen.
She is after all Laura Roslin, teacher even as President, and somewhere alongside her, he's learned life by fiat. Love by fiat. [Adama/Roslin]
kiss your sorrows on my skin (you can't erase them)
PG.
Forget humanity. Just feel human, and kiss the sorrows on his skin until they're all hers too. [Adama/Roslin]
One Life (or Five Visions of Death Laura Didn't Have, and One Life She Just Had)
Teen.
Life, like death, is just what you make of it, Laura. [Adama/Roslin]
Nothing But
Teen.
Families aren’t neat. A wedding. A funeral. The extended Adama family, and nothing but the rain. [Adama/Roslin, Kara/Lee, Tigh, others.]
To Halve and to Hold
Teen.
How do you share a grief great enough to consume you both? [Adama/Roslin]
Studies in Body Language
Teen.
Sometimes, it takes the body to tell you what the brain can't. [Adama/Roslin, Tigh, Kara, Lee, Others.]
Forever Is Impossible (and we're still stuck in Norway)
PG.
It's hard to be human when all you know is Time Lord. It's hard to have only one heart when your love come in two. It's hard, but they've already done the impossible. [Doctor/Rose, human!Doctor/Rose]
Fighting for a Draw
Mature.
Laura Roslin loves a good fight. No one said anything about a clean one. [Adama/Roslin]
It Will Be Life Soon
Mature.
It's spring on Earth and Laura Roslin marries William Adama, a symbol that isn't only that. Four days, four seasons, and one year in the life. [Adama/Roslin, ensemble]
Far More Trouble (or Five Times Bill Adama Got Laid and One Time Lee Probably Did)
Mature.
They would be in far less trouble if it was just lust. [Adama/Roslin, slight implied Kara/Lee]
Gravity Attraction
Teen.
Fall, and gravity can kill you. Bill, Laura, a depressed mechanic, Saul, Lee, Kara, a raptor on collision course and special guest star Earth's gravity. [Adama/Roslin.]
None Too Close to Comfort
PG.
He doesn't know the future and can't speak for it. But she still wants him to, wants him to comfort her with a lie. [Adama/Roslin]
Human Familiarities
Teen.
They've turned off the lights again, and she knows her answers and explanations yesterday were not good enough. [Adama/Roslin]
Once and Always (the Story to Tell)
PG.
Once a Queen of Narnia, forgotten a Queen of Narnia; Susan Pevensie's story to tell. [Susan, Peter, Edmund, Lucy]
All in all, not too bad. Though been slacking the last few months, which could be contributed to a mix of WoW expansion, work and hiatuses. How about it, fanfic writers on my flist - how did you like 2008 for you, writing-wise?

Date: 2008-12-28 06:52 pm (UTC)I really like the Starbuck/Lee drabble, surprisingly.
Maaaybe 2009 and new BSG will stir all of our muses! I'm sure all the unfinished threads at the end of 4.5 will give us something to write about, at any rate.

Date: 2008-12-28 07:10 pm (UTC)Let's see:
I wrote a lot of Mary Sue Parodies for LotR and one or two for HP, and then I got busy trying to make my RL friends understand fanfic, which then led to me turning our school into an impromptu fandom with Mary Sues and the lot.
And then there was NaNoWriMo where I did get to 50k but my characters all sucked.
And now there's a BSG plotbunny giving me rabies.

Date: 2008-12-29 12:18 am (UTC)2008 was the year I wrote a lot of drabble and not much else, and also failed spectacularly in the one ficathon I participated in (I am just so very glad it was not an exchange. Still feel guilty though.)
