Title: Revealing
Characters and timing: Batgirl III, Robin V, Barbara Gordon. Sometime during or soon after the recent run of Batgirl, assuming there was no reboot.
A/N: Steph gives voice to something I still hope will be dealt with, regarding Damian.
A/N2: Just a note in case you were worried -- this isn't shippy. This is gen. I don't tend to ship 10-year-old boys with college-age women. *wry*
( Steph has an 'outside voice' slip-up )

Title: Gobsmacked
Fandoms in the fandom: Flash (particularly the bits where Piper became the default go-to gadgeteer for ALL the Flash family -- seeing Wally, Jay, Johnny, Jesse, Bart and Max all crowded into his workshop was all kinds of hilarious to me), JSA (because Jay!), Knight & Squire (which is where I learned about The Time In A Bottle superperson pub and its peculiar properties; this fic takes place before the mini-series, though).
A/N: Thanks to
lizblackdog for britpicking this for me!

Title: 12-Second Delay
Timing: post-Stars
A/N: Looking through bios for various Sailor Moon characters, I read that Mamoru's favourite sport is track and field, Haruka "is a fast runner", and of course I remember Minako's marathon/karaoke story arc from the Sailor V manga. So I wondered, what if these three raced? This is what I think would happen.
( The winnerrrr of the first annual all-planets track and field event for the five hundred meter dash iiiis -- )

Sailor V fanfic: "Three Exhausted Women"
Aug. 22nd, 2011 08:32 amTitle: Three Exhausted Women
Warning: Angst! (but it's canon angst)
A/N: References Sailor V manga and Sailor Moon episode #42 "Sailor Venus' Past! Minako's Tragic Love" (never dubbed in English). This is how I connect the two versions of Sailor V's past.
( By the time she stepped off the plane in London, Natsuna's heart was like the beach after a storm: washed raw and strewn with wreckage; desolate; silenced. )

Title: Do you know that courage can wash away your tears?
A/N 1: Title is a line from "Stand Up" by Susan Aglukark.
A/N 2: Near the beginning of the Captain America movie, I leaned over to the friend sitting beside me and said, "They've combined Bucky with Arnie Roth!" She thinks they aged up Bucky to Steve's equal to avoid killing a "kid"; I just figure they wanted to reduce the number of characters to something manageable. Whatever the reason, it made me write this: a tribute to Arnie Roth.
( Steve Rogers sat in a hard plastic chair by a hospital bed. )
.
A/N 3: I forgot! Thank you,
kiffie, for beta reading this, and
lizblackdog, for a timely spot of good advice!

"Gibbs!" Abby called exuberantly as he walked into her lab. She accepted the piece of carrot cake he'd brought her with one lace-enmeshed hand, asking, "How many times have you seen Tony naked?"

Author's note: *alters canon to make this work* This is something of an intro for a Gar-centric story I've been trying to write since 2005. I figured I'd better get it down while it was rattling around in my brain so clearly. I really like the idea of this friendship.

A million (read: three and a half) years ago, I promised
hybridhelen I would do a continuation of this. And then I got hit with the work schedule of I-swear-my-boss-knows-just-how-to-ruin-my-fun (see also: any time I make plans to play a tabletop rpg, watch an anime marathon, do laundry, etc.).
Well, I never claimed I was fast. (That's JP's strong suit.)
So here goes: ( Back at my place, out of those wet clothes... )
Whyyyyy am I still awake? *curses muses*

I have a rule against posting WIPs anymore, but I have no idea how to continue/finish this, and I need to get it out there. So.
What might Gaila (from ST09) have been in TOS? This fic is one guess, also including a character meant to be the daughter of T'Pina & Beau from The IDIC Epidemic. This takes place at least 30-40 years after TOS, and if Gaila is about Uhura's age...

( Before she'd been tossed into the work camps, she had been Gaila )
TO BE CONTINUED...?

Featuring: Some of the new X-men (students at the time) and one of the old ones.
( Hellion was already talking as he and Anole walked into the rec room )

As I mentioned in the Author's notes of Do Over, I rewrote it several times before I got something I was willing to post. Well, I've recently decided that the second-to-posted attempt doesn't entirely suck -- it just wasn't what I was looking for -- so I'm going to post it up as a deleted scene.
Minus all the angry editorial scribblings in the margins, of course.
It would be best if you've actually read "Do Over", but if you don't wanna, here's what you need to know: in Wolverine v.3 #25, a brainwashed Wolverine killed Jean-Paul Beaubier (Northstar). In this fic, when Bobby Drake (Iceman) died (whenever that will be), a higher power offered him the chance to go back and change one thing he'd done in his life, and relive things from that moment as they would have been if he'd done that the first go around, with no memory of the choice. Bobby chooses to save Jean-Paul.
All of this is in "Do Over", but here's what he did, what happened, and what happened next from an earlier version. I ultimately didn't go with this because it switches perspectives, and Jean-Paul wasn't as shaken by what happened as I wanted. It is, consequently, a lot more upbeat.

Star Trek fanfic: "Family Planning"
Apr. 2nd, 2010 07:10 amThis one won't make sense unless you've read the TOS novels The Vulcan Academy Murders and The IDIC Epidemic by Jean Lorrah, and features characters from those books. And also married people in bed. ;3

Apr. 2nd, 2010 06:53 amThis is a little drabble set before M-Day, some short time after the wedding kerfuffle, and written primarily because I like to think Alex gained some wisdom from his time in the Mutant X universe.

Summary: ( Bobby has something to say about the men's figure skating outcomes. )
Author's notes: This was originally going to be Chapter One of a longer story which it turns out I can't actually write, because the plot required a character (not seen here) to behave in a way which I'm no longer see as in character. "Sexual Panic" was originally just the chapter header, and is a phrase directly borrowed from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan books, because Miles uses it to describe the way he just goes on "look at me I am awesome/God, I'm such a loser" overdrive when he meets someone he's attracted to. (This tends to lead to him acquiring überloyal mercenary fleets, etc.) That's... sort of what happens here. ;3
