SGA: Unmanifest Destiny by vain_glorious

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Ronon Dex, Teyla Emmagan, Sam Carter
Rating: Unrated. I'd say, Teen.
Length: 8260
Content Notes: The author chose not to warn.
If you'd much rather know about major AO3 warnings and be spoiled for the reveal at the end, click the arrow at left. SPOILERS John has died and it's his ghost or semi-ascended self keeping the team company on their memorial road trip. He's kind of in denial about this until the end, after which he ascends.
Creator Links: vain_glorious on AO3
Themes: Mystery and suspense, Road trips, Team, Friendship, AU: fork in the road

Summary: Following the events of 5X01, Team Sheppard goes to Earth and takes a roadtrip across the US.

Reccer's Notes: The team, plus newborn Torren, are back in the USA, travelling across the country and stopping at all John's favourite attractions. It should be a fun time, but they're all in unhappy moods and John can't get them to perk up at all. As the story progresses, we become aware that something's off, but it's hard to figure out what. The mystery's finally made clear in a possibly hopeful ending, depending on your point of view. It's not for those who don't like any darkness in their fics, but there's great characterisation and it's very well written, surprisingly funny at times, and the ending is powerful.

SGA Fic: Protector

***

Title: Protector
Author:[personal profile] kat_lair
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Evan Lorne/John Sheppard
Tags: Alternate Universe - Werecreatures, Pre-Slash, Power Dynamics, Military Ranks
Rating: T
Word count: 2,248

Summary: 

John’s government assigned Protector arrives to Atlantis within a week of them re-establishing the connection to Earth. Only the high-ranking personnel warrant one, and since Sumner and his Protector both died and John had become the military leader of the expedition by default and bad luck, he apparently qualified now. He’d thought about fighting the order but both Elizabeth and Rodney had told him not to bother, because ultimately, he would either lose the argument or lose the command, there was no middle ground here. 

So, along with supplies and guns and field rations and new personnel arrives one Major Evan Lorne, level three Protector. 

Werecoyote.

Author notes: Written as a [community profile] fandomgiftbasket gift for [personal profile] logans_girl2001. I was struck by the idea which however turned out to be far too expansive to really do justice for. So what you have a is more of a start or a tease of a larger story I can make no promises about delivering. But hopefully hit the recipient's love for Were AUs and arranged marriage (of sorts) nonetheless... Unbetaed so if anyone spots a typo or mistake, please let me know.

Welcome to Winterfaire 2025

The Winterfaire spreads out as far as the eye can see. Some booths show streamers of red and green, while others sport blue and silver. All of them offer treasure after shining treasure. Music fills the air with lyrics of Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, and Yule. From the Wordsmith's Forge comes the bright chiming of words being hammered into literature. Delicious scents of hot chocolate, spiced cider, peppermint, baking cookies, and gingerbread tantalize the appetite. Smiling, laughing shoppers amble from booth to booth with lists in hand. Vendors grin back, calling out, "Come try, come buy...!"

I know a lot of artists, writers, musicians, crafters, and other talented folks who make some of their living from their creative endeavors. I don't always have the money to support them as much as I'd like, but what I can do is set up a virtual faire where vendors can offer their wares to an audience that likes crafts, literature, and small businesses. For those of you doing your holiday shopping, here's an opportunity to buy or barter or find something made with love, something unusual or unique, in a way that helps make it possible for creative people to go on creating wonders. And there will be no traffic jams, stampedes, or gunfights at the Winterfaire!


This holiday season, support local and independent artists, designers, and crafters.

Scientists discover a hidden deep sea hotspot bursting with life

Beneath the waters off Papua New Guinea lies an extraordinary deep-sea environment where scorching hydrothermal vents and cool methane seeps coexist side by side — a pairing never before seen. This unusual chemistry fuels a vibrant oasis teeming with mussels, tube worms, shrimp, and even purple sea cucumbers, many of which may be unknown to science. The rocks themselves shimmer with traces of gold, silver, and other metals deposited by past volcanic activity.

A silly Black Friday

Didn't really shop unless you count the liquor store (I do). My friend MKF wanted to meet up at Tim Horton's in Athens. We tried to recapture the old Nano energy this year. No one showed up us two but that's okay. We're enough. We're planning to try again in Feb (though that might have to be Saturday afternoons or online). We actually spend more time talking than writing but ah well.

My throat and tooth still hurt. Fun times but I picked up a Skeletonwitch pizza in Athens and taunted my mother with it (I need to buy her one on my way home)

But here's the weird thing. As I left today my landlord's truck was out there with a trailer holding a washing machine...wait? You are putting machines IN our apartment. I DO NOT have one. Now I need to make another phone call. I REALLY need to get my shit together tomorrow and Sunday and clean up this place so I can get him in here.

Also Hazbin Hotel is now officially my most spendy fandom since the Buffyverse (which still wears the trading money for magic beans crown) It needs to have less cool merch.

And now on to the Fannish 50 friday recs. Look, I wrote a thing.


Title: Never Gonna Give You Up

Summary: Angel is gone. Husk disappears into a bottle and stays there until he swims to rock bottom. Determined not to leave Angel with his abusers, Husk sobers enough and proposes his plan to the rest of the hotel. They’ll help him. They may already have plans he was too drunk to notice. All Husk knows he’s never going to give Angel up and desert him.

Rating: teen

Notes: This is open ended (because I’m writing it for a weekly challenge) and certainly won’t be my last speculation on how the hotel crew get Angel back from the Vees.

Content warning – alcoholism and addiction references.

Written for Spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The words were Faded, Odd, Coherent, Consign, Rise, & Dwell. Also written for the allbingo prompt of Love is putting someone else's needs before your own (a quote by Olaf in Frozen).
Also written for the lyrical titles bingo challenge for the prompt, a meme song. I chose the GOAT of meme songs Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. Ha, that’s right, I just Rickrolled my whole readership (wearing an Alastor grin right now, or at the very least, Rosie’s).

2014 -- not heavy on the movie going.

Maleficent - Okay. I was skeptical as fuck, waited for video release. OMG, I was so wrong. This was just the slight twist I needed on the original to make it work for me. The cast played their hearts out. Diaval IS SO GOOD! I just love this movie to bits and pieces.

Annie (2014) - Another seen after the theater, but this time caught on DirecTV. And HOT DAMN I am glad I did. I love and adore it as a remake. The cast played it superbly, updated for the modern era and all! Just, magnificent.

Post-Turkey (well, there are leftovers...)

The new dryer is just fine, except the top is ever so slightly slanted in a way that makes it a bad place to set your dryer balls.

Have I mentioned that especially after Colonoscopy Week I've had more trouble than usual walking? I've been using my cane inside the house for the first time in quite a while, and I'm limited in how much I can carry without (more) pain. It sucks. Belovedest has set up the short ramp against the shortest outside stairs, and while going up it is Bad, going up the stairs without it is Worse. (Both outside doors have stairs.)

I wasn't available to assist with any of the Thanksgiving cooking. Belovedest did it themselves! Including: turkey, the epic tray of dressing, biscuits from the mix, and instant potatoes made the way that erases the taste of Box. (There was also salad available, but there's quite a bit of vegetable in the sausage-cornbread dressing.)

Today we had some roof inspectors. The inspection's free; the quote for fixing things up is *sigh* very much not free.

:: Searching for Liana leads to an unexpected encounter. Part of the Edison’s Mirror universe. ::




The tension inside the SUV simmered like an overloaded sauna. After passing the second intersection, Shandiin cleared her throat. “Declan… What are your plans for Laina? For helping her,” she added quickly.

“I want somewhere peaceful, safe from flame-touched. I don’t understand why the two groups don’t like each other in history, but…” He shivered. “I’ve got reasons to avoid your people, forever.”
