A Lar by any other name

I meant to write so many more fandom_stocking fics than I did. I only ended up getting two done but I have several half started that will probably find themselves being gifted in the coming month. After two months on enforced writing, I had a really hard time buckling down this weekend.

But the two that I did get written are:

Title: Missing Person (a random fill because I liked the ideas given)
Fandom: Avengers/Avengers AU
Pairing: At the heart of the story, this is a Steve/Peggy
Word Count: 2871
Rating: PG-13
Summary: There is nothing that Steve wants more than to have Peggy back in his life. He’s given up on the dream until Bruce and Jane think they have a way to get him back on a timeline he can live with.

At AO3

Title: Most Wonderful Time of the Year (for camshaft22)
Fandom: SGA/SG1 (library AU)
Pairing: John/Cam
Word Count: 2666
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Cam is just a shell of who he used to be, having lost the one thing that truly defined him. Now someone's intent on redefining him.

Author's Note: This one just literally fell out of my head. I wrote the first paragraph, sat back in my chair, thought about what I'd written... and then starting typing and came up for air in two hours. I do love stories that happen like this!

At AO3

This is for inkvoices and was written very quickly but I didn't want to lose the magic.

Title: The Night Circus - Clint/Natasha style (an AU)
Word Count: 1759
Rating: PG
( Summary: Both Clint and Natasha find the Night Circus, as if by accident )

Title: Eight Steps to You - Chapter 6: Aim With Your Instincts
Fandom: Avengers Olympic AU
Characters: Clint/Natasha, Phil Coulson, Bobbi Morse, OCs
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: This chapter more or less happened because I wanted to have Clint singing to Natasha. The use of the song Anywhere I Lay My Head by Tom Waits (which Scarlett did a cover of on her album) is just a plus.
Story Summary: An AU of Clint (archery) and Natasha (rowing) at the Summer Olympics.

1: Assume the Correct Stance
2: Grip It Tight
3: Nocking the Arrow
4: Raise and Draw
5: Find the Anchor
NEW 6: Aim With Your Instincts

I've been listening to Parachute (specifically, this song) and it's made me think about Ronon's part of this story. I think I'm going to write his stuff for another of the challenges coming up because I want to figure out how to fit this song into the story! *grins* And then Aster asked about Rodney so I'll have to see what I can do for him. I think there does need to be more Rodney but he was having too much fun with all the new equipment to come out and play much.

Also, randomly, Spotify told me I might like Quietdrive and THEY WERE RIGHT! If you like SafetySuit, you might like them, too. Or, if you like Quietdrive, you might like SafetySuit. Maybe there's a whole group of bands that have smooshed together words that are just equally awesome!

Title: On the Right Note (4/5)
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis AU
Characters: John, Ronon, Elizabeth (with a decided lack of Teyla)
Word Count: 2369
Prompt: marvelous for the stargateland Multimedia Bingo challenge
Disclaimer: I don't own. I only play around with it from time to time.
Author's Note: Much love to my beta, Aster, who is not responsible for anything in this story that doesn't work and only for the things that do.
Summary: John Sheppard's a small town boy wanting to make it big in the music industry. While he loses the family he was born into because of this decision, he gains a whole new one along the way.

( THIS IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! But that doesn't mean you shouldn't read it because it's awesome. )

Title: On the Right Note (2/5)
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis AU
Characters: John, Rodney, Jeanne, Ronon
Word Count: 1683
Prompt: honesty for the stargateland Multimedia Bingo challenge
Disclaimer: I don't own. I only play around with it from time to time.
Summary: John Sheppard's a small town boy wanting to make it big in the music industry. While he loses the family he was born into because of this decision, he gains a whole new one along the way.

( THIS IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! )

Title: Wanted You All Along
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis/SG1
Word Count: 4732
Characters: Cameron Mitchell/John Sheppard, Elizabeth Weir, Adam Banks, Levine, Everett
Recipient: rubygirl29
Prompt: Math Geek!John, Cam as Military Commander on Atlantis.
Author’s Note: Thank you to my beta for liking some of the same lines that I like. And thank you, rubygirl29 for this awesome idea. I couldn't resist sneaking Teyla and Ronon in there because I always like to know what they're doing on these alternate universes.

Summary: Cam finally brings John along on an off-world mission and nearly gets him killed.

Today is Ronon Day! I'm going into work at 1400 so I have some time to (1)read some fanfic and (2)get some cold meds into my system and helping me feel like a human when I stand up. So I'm going to read through some of the Ronon fics I've been wanting to read. Hooray!

Right off the bat, one of the stories that I think I've recced here but I wanted to get this on the list.

His Woman by WritingCT (Ronon/Sam) - if you like your women strong, this is a great story. Sam and Ronon are both spot-on, character wise, and their journey toward each other is very well done.

If you like John/Ronon, you probably already know the writing of jendavis. I Am The Weapon is still one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE FICS and I keep it on my kindle so I can read it whenever the urge comes over me to read some really, really good Ronon/John interactions.

Right now she's working on Damaged Goods which is an AU from the Vegas!verse. She's at chapter 16 right now and the couple have only just now come together (just barely) but the build up is PERFECT. There are lots of details that totally make you believe the relationship. I also love Cadman and Keller in this story, the little bit that you see them.

And then another of her John/Ronon beginnings stories: Cuts You Up - set between Sateda and Reunion and has Ronon working through the emotions and coming to the right conclusion.

Newborn History by trillingstar (Ronon) - a wonderful rendition of Ronon's history and how important his tattoos are.

And then, of course, the beautiful story that I got for the 2011 satedan_grabass Thing-A-Thon fic fest: Comings, Goings and Returnings by tielan (another great Ronon writer!) (Ronon/John) - AU with a large collection of Satedans are still alive. Ronon has to chose between his history and his future.

A new one for me because I still have a lot of satedan_grabass stories to read. Tour de Pegasus by kristen999 - John took Ronon to Earth so Ronon takes John on a tour of Pegasus. They find some great adventures.

Last on this list, I thought I would include my own story for the Ronon Thing-A-Thon Back From the Edge (John/Rodney) - prompts used: John & Ronon on Earth with Dave; protective John; and a sort of "glad we didn't die" post-Search & Rescue shag if you sort of look at it through narrowed eyes.

Turns out I don't need to go to work, after all. I can sit here, reading Ronon stories and feeling miserable otherwise. Hooray!

Title: Innovation Is Our Middle Name
Fandom: Stargate Alantis - Alternate Universe
Pairings: Alison/Laura, John/Cam, Dusty/Ronon and some random others
Rating: R
Word Count: ~23000
Disclaimer: I do not own the Stargate franchise nor will I ever get any money for this story. It is for enjoyment purposes only.
Author's Note: Written for the sga_santa 2011 Holiday Exchange. This is written for camshaft22. This was me getting to play with the Whispers team.
Summary: The McKay Foundation is holding their first ever Innovative Engine competition. Anne Teldy and her team have set their sights on winning but a few things get in their way. The good thing about the whole mess is that they find out who they really are.

At AO3

I'm frightfully late publishing this here but this is my entry for Humpfest 2011. I finally got around to putting this Sirius/Alice AU on paper! I'm hoping to writing more of them in the future although I'm not sure I want to keep this universe or not. What do you think? Is it a keeper? Should I try for another universe?

Title: All In Good Time
Author: lar_laughs
Characters: Sirius/Alice (others: Lily, Severus, Remus)
Prompts: seduction, Masquerade Ball, dagger
Word Count: 4940
Rating: R
Warnings: AU!!!! Run, quick! If you're expecting to find James in this story, you'd better move on.
Summary: Sirius knows he'd be perfect for Alice. Now to convince her of that fact without sending her running even further away than she already is.
Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Harry Potter. None of this story was written for profit.
Author’s Notes: This story is dedicated to scaratthedisco, who was the first person to introduce me to this pairing, and to Aster, who never fails to inspire me while keeping me firmly in line. Without these two, I wouldn't have ever come to love (and torture) Sirius/Alice.

(read it at my AO3 page)

Title: It's Not Quite Right
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters: John, Teyla, Ronon, Rodney, Jennifer, Amelia, Woolsey, AU!John, AU!Teyla ... (implied John/Ronon)
Rating: R for language in some sections
Prompts: written for the stargateland Bingo challenge

Summary: Set just after Enemy at the Gate ends... Beckett stretched his arms over his head. "I think I've had enough of this murky view of San Francisco. I do believe I'm going to head back in. See you at dinner." It would prove to be the best idea anyone had had all day long. Too bad no one else followed him inside. They would have saved themselves a lot of additional stress and turmoil.

Author's Note: This is a story split into eight sections so that I could work in all the prompts for the challenge. You might remember a post a few days back where I mentioned someone asking for a story that was about our beloved characters going to an Alternate Universe and seeing/not seeing people they know. This is what happens when one universe doesn't have a Ronon.
