what some call insanity

Here's the final product! For those of you at mary_mcawesome, you've most of these drabbles, but I finally finished the little project. In honor of Mary's birthday I wrote 100 words for 11 of my favorite characters of hers, like I did a couple of years ago for Sarah Clarke. Mary's played a lot of incredible women so I didn't get to touch on them all, but hopefully you'll enjoy those that I did. A big thank you to those that have commented already! Title is taken from "Be Careful", by Patty Griffin.



( All The Girls That You'll Never See )

Title: Innocent Faces
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Through Exodus 2
Summary: 'It’s almost disconcerting, she wrote in one letter to Bill, both the normality and the wrongness of it.'
A/N: Fic for redoren over at adama_roslin's Christmas in July exchange. She requested a Roslin fic set on New Caprica.

( Laura missed a lot of things, those long months in space. )

My lip is no longer taking over my face! Now it's more Angelina Jolie-like than anything, which I'm okay with. It's pretty chapped though, and the inside of the lip as well, because it was exposed to dry air for so long. I'm on a cocktail of meds, which seems to be helping. I went to the allergist today and he thinks that all of this is somehow related to the mono, because they started at the same time - itchy legs, random swellings and hives, etc. It could be that the mono triggered something, or that it weakened my immune system and something else triggered it. Anyway, we'll see what else happens with that.

My brother's birthday was on Tuesday. He's a teenager now! He's obsessed with Batman right now, the Joker in particular, so he got mostly action figures and about 10 Joker t-shirts. He's having his birthday party tonight, a few friends in a hotel room. They went and saw The Dark Knight. Go figure. My other brother and I went in on some video game (I just paid, I don't know the first thing about video games!) Christoffer (brother 2) has his birthday in September but I ordered him a gift about a month ago because it was too good to pass up. Tricia Helfer has a store on her website where you can get personalized autographs, and the money goes to an animal rescue charity. (Have I mentioned that she's awesome?) Christoffer loves Six, so I got him an autograph wishing him a happy birthday.

We're leaving for Maine on Saturday! :)

Title: Life For The Living
Fandom: BSG/24
Summary: A thank you to _ila_ for the lovely header and the yummy 6/9 goodies she's been providing me! *hugs* She spoils me, seriously. I was working on a Caprica/Nina Earth!fic, but that didn't really go anywhere, so this is attempt number 2. It's not quite femslash but it's about the Natalie/Nina relationship after leaving the fleet.

( Nina recognized the small planet the moment it came into view. )

_ila_ just made my day!



This was inspired first by Number Nine, and then more recently by this little ficlet I wrote for her, ( here. )

I'm going to be so depressed when the actual Number 9 is revealed. This is a fun crackship!

If anyone wants to pass on any further fic ideas, go for it, because I want to write them but can't come up with anything that isn't ridiculously smutty. The 6/9 pairing was SO not intentional but it isn't helping.

Mmm, now I want a Six/Nine icon. (And I CAN'T TYPE NINE. I KEEP TYPING NINA. BOO.)

And while we're talking about Nina - Sarah Clarke is MY hero.

TM: Who are your heroes? Why?

Sarah: Anyone who is crusading to help the environment. Because even though it is getting more politically correct to care about the earth.there are still only a handful of people who are actually making a difference and changing the way we think about ourselves and our relationship to the planet.

This girl is GOLD.

Joining the Post-Six of One fic party. It hasn't been beta-ed because I wanted to get it posted before the episode tonight (which is kind of redundant because I'm sure most of you have seen it by now!)

Title: Meaning
Word Count: 748
Summary: She has walked to her death many times before, each time with her eyes clear and chin held high. She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid. [spoilers for 4x02]

( Here. )

Sorry for the cheesiness at the ending, but they deserve some, yeah?

I'm so tired. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in ages. It's a mix of things, I think - I'm so burnt out from school, the year is almost over and the teachers are piling it on; I've been taking new medicine that is just fucking with my mind; I just can't sleep. It's making me mad. Yesterday I was supposed to get started on an essay and I just stared at the paper for about ten minutes and couldn't form a coherant thought. I got so frustrated that I went to the bathroom and literally had a mini-freak out. It sounds so fucking dramatic, and I hate the drama queen shit, but I'm just going insane.

But there have been two things getting me through the week: BSG is on tonight, and LA TOMORROW. It'll be so good to see everyone!

In honor of BSG CAPSLOCK FRIDAY I bring crack. Seriously, it's not gonna happen and I wrote it in about fifteen minutes in American History. But there is Laura. SPOILERS for 4x01 and speculation for 4x02.

( “Kara,” she says. She is a politician, negotiating. )

Very very belated birthday fic for _ila_ (and another one coming for im_a_yogi!). I remembered you liked the bit I used as the second section in this piece so I expanded it and gave it a bit more plot. It became kind of a 'what you didn't see' between s2-s3. I hope you enjoy!

Title: Rain
Rating: PG
Summary: It was during these nights of staring at the blank white wall and counting her breaths that she’d remember.

( The rain trailed down the car windows, and she followed one of the drops with her eyes, watching as it slithered sideways and diagonal, eventually meeting another drop and converging. )


I also have two entries from makelaurahappy! If anyone read the entries, I imagine that one of mine was pretty obvious, hah. Yes, I actually wrote a Laura Roslin/Nina Myers crossover.

This was a fic of many firsts, including my first femslash and my first semi-smut. Probably as far as I'll go for quite awhile, hee.

Title: Number Nine
Rating: Light R
Summary: "Something’s not right about her. She just showed up, out of nowhere, with all of the proper qualifications – why now?”

( Nina Myers was not programmed for seduction. )


This one might go on a little further, I have a few more scenes written, but I'm not sure. It's pretty plotless, just an excuse to write Nina/Laura!

And finally, High/Society BSG.

Title: Silver and Gold
Rating: PG
Summary: “A raptor is requesting permission to land. They say they have an old friend of yours on board – Elinore Walker?”

( Gods, she wanted a break. )

Ahh, I wrote Nina!fic. Sorta. I was working on _ila_'s (very belated) bday fic when this idea came to me. It wouldn't have worked as any longer, it's 200 words as it is, but I've never explored the Nina/Kim relationship and this seemed like an interesting way to do it. It also occured to me that I don't think I've ever seen her on trial. It should be noted that even though both my parents are lawyers, I know nothing about law, so grant me a little leeway :P

Title: Sentencing
Rating: PG

( There is a trial and she is convicted. The whole thing takes about eight months. )

Title: Tension
Author: averita
Rating: PG
Pairing: Adama/Roslin, one-sided Roslin/Zarek
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Spoilers: Through the end of season three.
Summary: The back of his hand brushed against hers, and she looked at him for a split second before turning away, eyes shining once more.
Prompt: I'd very much like an AR story told from Tom's pov. If possible, I would like it to use the big AR moments that Tom is around for - dance at Colonial Day, Bill having Laura in jail, Kobol, then perhaps picking it back up around the election and the escape from New Caprica.
A/N: Secret Santa gift for dixgrl78 over at adama_roslin Thanks to my friend Sarah for the beta.

( Merry Christmas! )

For the Prove Your Love challenge. Jack/Nina, of course :) A different twist on the Santa Barbara weekend. Also, I realize that this is highly unlikely, because (old) Jack is nothing if not honorable, but still. They needed closure.

( Maybe she could have loved him, but when he told her she just nodded and didn't quite meet his eye. )
