From four different fandoms, no less!

Two are unfinished pieces - one for a ToT fill that never came to pass (I'm bad at the quirky-horror-weird stuff), the other that was a long, long ago longfic crossover for SGA and SG1 that never quite came to fruition.

Right now, I'm posting a few things that I started but didn't finish. Mostly because some of them I put a lot of time and energy into and I'd like to see them get a bit of affection. Even if it's only a kudos or two.

And there's the last piece in the 30 Days of OTP, which I'm just trying to work out if I suitably tied everything off. (If you're willing to read it through for me and let me know, I would really appreciate the crit.)

Then there's Day 16 of the "31 Days Of Winter" that was started by [personal profile] crazy4orcas who passed away midway through last year, and which is being finished by her friends.

The authors are mostly Clint/Natasha writers, but I originally met [personal profile] crazy4orcas in another fandom - Stargate Atlantis - so I wrote something a little...bit...different...
31 Days of Winter: Chapter 17 (11180 words) by tielan, Caiti, shenshen77, kiss_me_cassie, QuietlyImplode
Chapters: 17/32
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Characters: Torren John Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Original Character
Summary:

Torren John Emmagan likes winning.

If you're so minded, please leave a comment on the specific chapter!

Orcas also always encouraged my Steve/Maria fics in MCU - for which I will ever be grateful, and there'll be a Maria-centric fic later on in the group. (Maybe. There was some doubling up, so I don't know what's going to happen.)
tielan: SGA: Teyla and Elizabeth sitting on the bed (SGA - teyla/liz)
Sunday, July 29th, 2018 03:37 pm
fandom: Stargate Atlantis
title: Taking Tea And Making Friends
summmary: Teyla finds that every culture moves in its own rhythms. There is an ebb and flow to the efforts of their labour, to their time spent in leisure, to their sharing of meals, and it moves in a rhythm by the movement of the sun.

I'm not particularly inspired by the stories I wrote for ToT. I feel like I could have done better.

One Assignment (which turned into a treat, since I missed the deadline):

Title: Never Far Fallen
Fandoms: Discworld - Terry Pratchett
Recipient: [archiveofourown.org profile] notwisely
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax
Tags: Halloween
Summary: Come Alls Fallow, nobody trick or treats at Granny's cottage. Well, nearly nobody....

Got a good reception, seems to have been well taken generally. I did want to write Nanny, then Tiffany interaction, but it simply didn't happen.

--

One Treat:

Title: The Mother Of Intervention
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Recipient: [archiveofourown.org profile] flowersforgraves
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Team
Characters: Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, John Sheppard, Rodney McKay
Tags: Escape Off-World, unfriendly locals
Summary: Necessity is the mother of intervention...

Less well-hailed, and can kind of feel why, I just don't know how I could have made it better. I feel like the original plan for this story was more quippy, although I don't know why...

The [community profile] sga_flashfic comm has been transferred over to DW. My author tag appears 62 times!

Wow, I did write a lot of SGA fic back in the day.

Maybe I should start transferring some of that to AO3...

MCU got a resurgence thanks to Cap2. Pacific Rim started off strong but kind of dwindled mid-year, and only picked up for the Secret Santa exchanges. Various exchanges are varied.

And lately I'm really struggling with serious plot-based fics. I know I have the nous to carry it off, I just don't have the plotbunnies. (At least, not without it all going epic.)

I didn't do this in 2012 - I think I just pointed people at my AO3 account. But it's kind of nice to have it all in one spot, and I'd kind of like to start using my DW/LJ again after letting everything lapse. Tumblr is all very well, but sometimes you want a thinky conversation with people!

This was a relatively productive year:

I still have three fics in [community profile] fandom_stocking. I hope the recips like them when they get them - they're all a little...non-conformist.

And there's the [livejournal.com profile] be_compromised Santa which is still to be revealed...

Uh, this one's long!

For the [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa 2011, I got assigned [profile] starry_haze! And she got this:

TITLE: Widow's Pique
SUMMARY: Among the Blood, Black Widows are witches who are feared and distrusted for the skill with which they can weave tangled webs to see visions of the future - or entrap the mind. But when Teyla Emmagan of Athos village is called to the court of the Queen of Atlantis Territory, she is less concerned about being misunderstood, and more worried to step awry in the complex politics of the Atlantis court.

Then, too, there is the distracting presence of John Sheppard, a Warlord Prince whose interest in her is something Teyla cannot fathom. Does he distrust her motives? Is he merely protecting his Queen? Or is his interest something else - something that Teyla must learn to accept in order to best serve her Queen, her Territory, and her own heart?
RATING: R
WARNINGS: (highlight to see) rape in a character's history
CHARACTERS: Teyla, John, Elizabeth, Carson, Sumner, Rodney, Bates, assorted original characters
PAIRING: John/Teyla
NOTES: This is the first part of the prequel to 'To Serve A Queen', and has been added to a little bit at a time for the last five years. I didn't think [livejournal.com profile] starry_haze would mind too much if I completed it as her SGA Santa fic - it fit most of her requirements, the concerning one being "close-to-canon AUs". I made several other attempts at ficness - the original plan was to write EPIC LONGFIC "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" for her, but that fizzled thanks to writing angst, and then my attempt to write the 'Dave Sheppard has to deal with John/Teyla' fic "My Brother's Keeper" went bye-byes so this was it.

There was a second part to 'Widow's Pique' planned - one which features Elizabeth's court in its full glory and deals with Michael, Kanaan, and John/Teyla. I started with a basic romance plot and then about 18 months ago, reshuffled the plot to be EPIC. *coughs* I don't think it will ever be written, though.

So, seeing as we've gone live for the [livejournal.com profile] sga_beya Elf Challenge 2011, I can link back my work!

My recip was [livejournal.com profile] foxyinthecity and she wanted fic. Fortunately, I was in a position to provide fic!

TITLE: Like Flying (a.k.a. "Five Times John Thought About Kissing Teyla And The One Time He Did
SUMMARY: He got the shorthand rules of Stargate travel from O'Neill. No-one gets left behind. Don't be a dick. Talk more than you shoot. Don't think with your dick.
RATING: PG-13
CATEGORY: Friendship, Attraction, UST.
NOTES: An old prompt from the [livejournal.com profile] sg_five_things challenge. As ever, it got long.
AO3 LINK: here

TITLE: The One Who Doesn't Walk Away
SUMMARY: Teyla won't walk away from the people she loves. John wouldn't ask her to.
RATING: PG-13
CATEGORY: Thoughts, Angst.
NOTES: Inspired by a scene from the SGA Legacy book Homecoming, but there are no major spoilers.
AO3 LINK: here

TITLE: Nothing To Say
SUMMARY: "There is nothing you need to say. There is nothing you could say to me that your actions have not said a thousand times."
RATING: PG-13
CATEGORY: Missing Scene, Friendship, Relationship
NOTES: Inspired by several scenes from the SGA Legacy book The Lost, but no spoilers.
AO3 LINK: here

TITLE: Better Than Sex
SUMMARY: John's never been good at talking about intimacy. Or, for that matter, at intimacy...
RATING: R
CATEGORY: Missing Scene, Relationship, Angst, Romance.
NOTES: A missing scene from the SGA Legacy book Allegiance, but you don't have to have read the book. No major spoilers, I think.
AO3 LINK: here

And the reveal gift!
TITLE: Sex In The City
SUMMARY: In the earliest days of the expedition, before things get complicated, there's speculation about whether or not the city really is sentient. John could tell them, but he soon realises that it's the argument that's important to most people - not the answer.
RATING: NC-17
CATEGORY: Relationship, Romance, Fluff, Porn.
NOTES: This took me forever to write. It started with an old prompt "John wants Teyla but can't bring himself to make a move. Atlantis knows John wants Teyla and starts 'helping' him out... Hilarity ensues." And then it...got bigger than I expected. (No dirty jokes, now!)

And then tomorrow I have to hunt down the ficlist 2011... Whew!

AUTHOR: [livejournal.com profile] tielan
SUMMARY: Human beings are growing things - if they're not living and changing, they're just waiting to be put in the ground.
RATING: PG-13
WORD COUNT: ~900
NOTES: For the [livejournal.com profile] sga_saturday Week #17 prompt 'trace'. This story took forever to write, partly because it couldn't decide what it was going to be until I got the title for it.

SUMMARY: Who she was, and is, and will be.

CATEGORY: Teyla, Todd, character study, Wraith, gen, what is the measure of a human?
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, etc., etc., etc.
NOTES: For [livejournal.com profile] sga_saturday's prompt 'memory'. This was going to be longer. Then it was going to be shorter. Then I ran out of time... Uh, and it got more complicated than I expected.

Sunday, September 4th, 2011 08:46 am
TITLE: Momma Always Said There'd Be Days Like These
SUMMARY: There were no sneering comments about feminine weakness or snide remarks about the failings of women in the field, and Teyla was extremely glad of it.
RATING: PG-13
CATEGORY: AU, action/adventure, drama, friendship, team
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc.
NOTES: For [livejournal.com profile] sga_saturday's Amnesty Week, to their week 12 prompt 'cycle'. At first I was surprised that nobody even mentioned or hinted at this as a possible use for the word 'cycle'. And then I realised that, given fandom's proclivities, not really that surprising at all. This is a sequel of sots to my fic 'Every Day Is Another Tomorrow' but you don't have to read that one first to get this. It may be a little brain-breaky at first, though, so handle with caution!

When Teyla comes in to breakfast, the doors to the balcony are propped open, and a nauseating stench of rancid meat and burned porridge fills the room.

TITLE: The Sundered
SUMMARY: Driftwood was once a part of a greater whole, with a purpose and a meaning.
RATING: PG
CATEGORY: Angst, post-EATG.
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc.
NOTES: For the [livejournal.com profile] sga_saturday prompt for week 14 - driftwood. Thanks to the people who threw the ideas out for me to try, and thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ileliberte whose musings sparked the ideas behind the story. Very short and angsty.

Teyla stands in a city full of people who hurry past without knowing anything of her origins or her skills.

Thursday, August 18th, 2011 04:54 pm
Title: Fix
Summary: Not everything that is broken can be fixed. Sometimes it doesn't need to be. John begins to learns this when he returns from being a Wraith captive and convert - but can he accept it?
Rating: R
Warning: Wraith torture, addiction, violence.
Category: John/Teyla, hurt/comfort, angst, action/adventure, drama.
Word Count: 15,650
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] meekosan in the [livejournal.com profile] sheppard_hc Summer Exchange 2011. A great many thanks to the peeps of tinychat who listened to me moan at all hours, to [livejournal.com profile] infinimato who poked and prodded and came up with the title, and to [livejournal.com profile] schneefink who went through and picked it apart at the 11th hour so it could be restitched together in ways that hopefully make more sense! And thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kristen999 for the extension, which I very much needed.

It's too long for LJ, so I posted it here@AO3 instead.

TITLE: It Takes A Village And A City
SUMMARY: Teyla learns to paint. John learns not to be jealous.
RATING: PG-13
CATEGORY: action/adventure, character, relationships
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc.
NOTES: For [livejournal.com profile] foxyinthecity in the [livejournal.com profile] teylafen Teyla Thing-A-Thon. She wanted gen or John/Teyla, with 'duty, denied passions, bad ass Teyla'. I think this counts as 'bad ass Teyla', and may very well count as 'duty' too!

Thanks so much to [livejournal.com profile] gaffsie for the extension, [livejournal.com profile] infinimato, [personal profile] ailelie, [livejournal.com profile] aurora_novarum, and the peeps of TinyChat who let me wail, moan, gnash my teeth, tear my hair, and offered chocolate, cake, and pettings when I went through half a dozen different story ideas and none of them was satisfactory!
