Spotted somewhere or other: Post a sentence (or paragraph) or two from as many of your WIPs as you want, with no explanation attached. Except I will explain.

“Jackson spent most of the rescue napping,” Sheppard said, “Ronon didn’t hurt him. He’s fine.”

“Okay.” Mitchell took another deep breath. His gaze was somewhere past Sheppard and Ronon, scanning the infirmary. He was probably looking for his team. “What about Vala?”

“She was fine,” Sheppard said. “Fine enough to steal Ronon’s gun, shoot him with it, and run off taking out anyone who got in her way.”

Mitchell’s eyes shot back to Sheppard. “What?”

“That’s what she did,” said Ronon. He must have sounded pissed, because Mitchell recoiled a bit and gave him an assessing glance.

The hand against Mitchell’s face slid up to his temple. He looked utterly confused.

“Why?”

“We were hoping you’d tell us,” Sheppard said. “Jackson wasn’t all that surprised."

“Well,” Mitchell began. “She is good at that kind of thing. But you rescued us from that hellhole, I don’t know why she’d do anything like that.”

Untitled SG-1/SGA, currently ~30,000 words and so utterly ridiculous I may never post it because if it's anything, it's crack, except it's crack that the rest of fandom will think is actually asscrack. Which it may be. I think this is the first SGA I ever wrote.

Thinking about it made his heart start to hammer in his chest. This really wasn’t helping. Rodney got up, slapped up the handwritten “BUSY GO AWAY” sign that had been a marginal success in keeping away people who couldn’t get the door open with their genes – bastards – and locked the lab door.

Rodney spent the next hour or so dedicating himself to rewriting ‘Gate process protocols such that the sabotage he’d just committed could never be replicated. It was mostly pointless since no one except him and maybe Zelenka on Aderall would have thought of it in the first place. But, hell, apparently Zelenka could be a Goa’uld,.

It was a good distraction, such that Rodney had his nose almost pressed again his laptop screen, so focused on coding the security loopholes away that he didn’t hear the announcement over his earpiece. He’d taken it off, since sometimes Ronon – who just never slept – would randomly start talking to Teyla or Sheppard – who kept almost as equally stupid hours – on the team frequency and as much as Rodney enjoyed their fascinating late night repartee about whose gun was more awesome or who had kicked who in the head while sparring, they never appreciated his input and he couldn’t focus on his work while they yammered.

Another Hero, SGA/SG-1 for gaffsie  (I think). ~6,000 words and potentially really long. And also possibly really incredibly dark.

He was fishing for the usual fight – which he enjoyed and had been using as a substitute for other, healthier and more naked activities since they’d met.

Vala wasn’t in the mood. Or rather, she was. It’d only been this long since her decision-making capabilities were actually quite complex. Arrom could have had a wife and sixteen little Arroms starving on some planet, wondering where their husband and father had wandered off to. He might have been a brainwashed Goa’uld collaborator who didn’t deserve to see Vala naked. She’d kind of expected his memory to come back in more than just meaningless flashes in the past six months so she could make some kind of judgment call.

Ranyr walks up – Melena happily clinging to his waist –  and stands beside Ronon without any greeting. “Why is that man trying to drown the children?”

“Hey,” says Ronon. “I don’t know.”

“That’s John,” Melena says, rolling her eyes. “It’s a game. What is it called, Ronon?”

“Smurfing, I think.”

“Smurfing,” she repeats. “It’s from his world.”

“His world is weird,” Ronon tells Melena’s father. “None of his games are fun.”

The Ghosts That Flee, SGA, Divide'verse, 8500 words and gonna be a little longer than the other stories in this series.

I am very curious about your first one! Why did Vala steal Ronon's gun? And how pissed off is he that she managed to do that? *g*

More Divide'verse? Yay! I love John adopted by the Satedans :D

All of these WiPs seem pretty intriguing!

He’d taken it off, since sometimes Ronon – who just never slept – would randomly start talking to Teyla or Sheppard – who kept almost as equally stupid hours – on the team frequency and as much as Rodney enjoyed their fascinating late night repartee about whose gun was more awesome or who had kicked who in the head while sparring, they never appreciated his input and he couldn’t focus on his work while they yammered.

Made me giggle! And I'd love to know why Vala stole Ronon's gun and ran off.
