Title: If It Turns Out This Is A Hoax...
Fandoms: Arrow (TV)/Stargate Atlantis
Characters: Felicity Smoak (with some nice Diggle interaction at the end), Todd
Word Count: 2635
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Felicity is supposed to meet Dig for drinks. Instead, she meets Todd and saves herself from becoming a Wraith snack by using her wits and her words.

Here at AO3

I know that these two fandoms don't intersect in very many places but I tried to write Todd in such a way that you don't necessarily need to know the SGA fandom well to understand the story. It dawns on me that I perhaps didn't go the other way. Oh well!

And here is the second story. This one was fun to research because I got to look up Google Maps and try to figure out fun things along the way. If you ever want to go on a cross-country trip across the States, just let me know and I'll map out a fun trip for you! *grins*

Title: Meet Me in the Aftermath
A Gift For: allisnow
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 5345
Warnings: angst, reference to canonical death
Pairings: Clint/Natasha
Summary/Prompt Used: This is the story of the road trip Natasha and Clint took across the country after helping save the world from being overrun with ugly creatures from space. It’s also the story of how Clint came to terms with the fact that he was responsible for the death of a friend. It is, thankfully, not a story of how Tony came to own the Bellagio. We shall save that for another adventure.
Authors Notes: So many thanks to hufflepuffsneak for looking over this multiple times while I had countless meltdowns and holding my hand until I wasn’t quite so wibbly-wobbly. A huge thanks to Aster for helping get this idea off the ground and then sweeping in to fix my tense errors (of which there were legion) when it was done. If you are familiar with FRIENDS, you will notice a few references from “The One With Joey’s Big Break” and “The One in Vegas”. The title is taken from the Lifehouse song “Aftermath”.

This is also dedicated to Beth - who hasn't stopped gushing about this since I sent it to her.

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.

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!

This is the first of my Gag Reel stories (if you don't remember what that means, check out this entry), for both _samalander and sunny_serenity (who also helped me come up with this scene without knowing she even did it!).

The original can be found at AO3.

Title: How Can I Help You (Gag Reel)
Fandom: Avengers AU
Characters: Tony, Pepper, Clint, Steve, Bruce
Word Count: 886
Rating: Is childish a rating?

( Deleted Scene: )

Title: Such Lost Creatures
Fandom: Avengers movie!verse
Characters: Clint/Natasha
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6420
Prompt: from the prompt that inkvoices offered up at the be_compromised promptathon - There's a film called 28 days about addictions and a person struggling with it asks when they'll be ready for a relationship. They're told something along the lines of: first get a plant. If that's still alive after a year, get a pet/a dog. If that's still alive after two years, then maybe you can try for a relationship. So, Clint or Natasha, you chose, doesn't feel ready for a relationship so they get a plant and then a pet...Love to see how/if those would survive in a SHIELD environment/lifestyle and if (please!) eventually they get together...

Author's Note: Thank you to the lovely cybermathwitch for giving me such wonderful notes back when she beta'd this. If it wasn't for her cheerleading and the reminder that this story existed, it might have been some time before it saw the light of day.

Summary: They're dancing around, testing the boundaries of this thing called a relationship. He's got things he needs to work on and she's just trying to keep her head above the water of her new world.

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

Title: Those Who Mourn
Fandom: Avengers movie!verse
Characters: Clint/Natasha
Word Count: 1494
Rating: PG-13

Man, I really like these two! I never would have given Ms. Everhart another thought except for a conversation at be_compromised. Now I have thoughts about these two. Many, many thoughts.

Title: Journalistic Integrity
Fandom: The Avengers 'movie verse
Characeters: Christine Everhart, Maria Hill
Prompt: Christine Everheart: A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees. posted by ashen_key at marvelousladies July Drabble Tag Challenge.
Word Count: 782
Rating: PG
Summary: Christine's got a hard job and not everyone appreciates that. Maria's got an even harder job since she drew the short end of the stick and has to confront Christine about her newest story.

Aster convinced me that the Leverage/Avengers story wasn't a stand alone. Beth's cheering helped push me over the edge so here is Chapter Two of what I am now calling Caught Between Two Worlds.

Story Summary: The worlds of Leverage and the Avengers collide as one of the Leverage team members appears to be someone no one expected her to be. Now, she has to pick up the pieces of a life she thought was hers and a life that is expectd to be hers. Neither one fits very well any longer. And which man does she want? The man who introduced her heart to love or the man who introduced her to herself?

Chapter 1: Dead Is All Relative

Chapter Summary: Parker isn't normal, as most people consider normal. Maybe instead of it just being "who she is", it's really because she's someone else entirely but doesn't know it because a certain mastermind criminal has her under a spell.

Chapter 2: Doesn't Play Well With Others

Chapter Summary: Bobbi isn't Parker but she isn't Bobbi either. Not anymore. Not where it counts. Before she can move on, she needs to go back to make sure that she hasn't missed anything.
