I mentioned in my previous post that I'd written three more SGA stories for

cliche_bingo that I hadn't actually posted about here. (Because posting all those fics took A Lot Of Time.)

They're all over at my fic journal at

tanaquific.

sgafan,

scribblesinink and

elena_tiriel. No thanks to

( John grimaced as his cell began to ring.... )

Only for you would I write Jack O'Neill. *g*

Have a great birthday, and I hope you enjoy this bit of Jack/Elizabeth shippiness. Here's hoping for S5, eh?

The Impossibility Of Being

When he heard the news, he felt... regret. A galaxy apart, a lifetime in combat, ten years in the madhouse of SGC had made him temper his feelings. But part of him cried out he would have liked more time, more opportunity, more....

When her effects were shipped back from Atlantis, he told himself it was to be expected... even as he watched all the way along the passage while Harriman wheeled them away.

And yet, and yet.... A flame burned on in a corner of his heart, because ten years in SGC had taught him stranger things could happen....

Title: A Life Less Ordinary
Author: Tanaqui
Ratings: Teen
Characters: John Sheppard, OMC
Spoilers: Contains spoilers for

sgafan 's Demons. (It also may not make much sense unless you've read Demons.)
Length: 7x100 drabbles
Summary: Written for

sgafan 's birthday. A drabble series remix of

sgafan 's Demons, from the perspective of Kelin.
Author’s notes: Happy Birthday,

sgafan and thanks for your friendship. {{{hugs}}} Thanks also to LavenderBlue for beta.

( A Life Less Ordinary )

So,

mooncross recently corrupted me into watching Supernatural (see lovely new LJ icon courtesy of the talented

ileliberte) because she wanted to ~~fling plotbunnies at me~~ have someone to discuss the show with. But I often get confused because there's a Sam in all three fandoms I'm messing in - Tolkien (Sam Gamgee), Stargate (Sam Carter) and Supernatural (Sam Winchester).

(Not to mention that

mooncross is owned by Sam-the-cat. We once had a conversation where

mooncross referred to the cat and I was trying to work out what fandom she was talking about.... *facepalm*)

Anyway, all that is a long winded way to introduce a drabble written in response to

mooncross's challenge to write a Sam-Sam-Sam crossover.

Crossing Over

"Look, not that we don't appreciate the help, but we can handle it from here."

"Excuse me, ma'am, but whatever freaky aliens you've met, we've more experience of the kind of hellspawn you find here on ear–"

Sam Winchester fell silent as Colonel Carter raised her hand, then gestured for him to circle round.

A rustle in the grass. Sam pounced, scuffled, and finally hauled the small creature upright by its collar. "What the–?" He exchanged puzzled glances with Carter.

"See here!" The dwarf – no, Hobbit: the word arrived unexpectedly in Sam's head – bristled angrily. "Can't a tired traveller rest?"

Today is

sgafan 's birthday - many happy returns!!!

As a birthday present, I wrote a "little" (8000-word) story.

Title: Flying Change
Author: Tanaqui
Ratings: Adult
Characters: John Sheppard/OFC
Warning: beyond what I hope is a faithful representation of John Sheppard's character, this has very little Stargate Atlantis content and is unashamedly shippy.
Length: approx 8000 words
Summary: Written for

sgafan's birthday. On leave back on earth, John feels the need to escape from the SGC and the pressures of Pegasus. He may be "running away" for a while, but does he realise what he's running towards?
Author’s notes: Happy Birthday,

sgafan and thanks for your friendship. {{{hugs}}} A huge thank you to

elena_tiriel and

gwynnyd for their beta support on this one. I could haven't done it without you. Also to

sgafan for patiently answering horse-related questions and being very good about not asking why I needed to know certain things.

Title: Through The Looking Glass
Author: TanaquiSGA
Rating: Teen
Characters: Kate Heightmeyer, John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir, Carson Beckett
Spoilers: Season 1/Early Season 2
Warnings: Eventual Heightmeyer/Sheppard in final chapters
Word count: 4360/c. 38,000
Summary: In which Shep is confused, Kate is evasive, and the events of Before I Sleep make both of them uncomfortable.
Author's Note: This chapter took a long time to emerge because I knew this it had to exist, but didn't understand initially what needed to go into it and how it related to the events of BIS. Then RL got in the way of me having time to write it. But my mind was clearly percolating away, and it flowed very quickly once I did get a chance to write. A huge thank you to

sgafan for encouragement, suggestions, and some extremely helpful discussions when my muse was struggling to put it all together.

sgafan and

elena_tiriel also provided the usual beta reading and encouragement. Thanks to both of you!
