alixtiiJanuary
Not Quite Queen of the Damned. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars crossover. Faith and Vi hire Keith Mars to investigate the Phoenix Land Trust. Is its business being conducted from beyond the grave? [Started long ago but finally completed last January.]
How I ----ed Your Father. Jossverse RPF, Jewel/Nathan/Summer. An unlikely beginning, in a world where The Sarah Connor Chronicles ran for five seasons and Dollhouse for seven. [Written for Pretty Lights 2008, before the announcement of SCC's cancellation, but revealed after I wrote up last year's list.]
You Just Can't Choose What She's Gonna Do. Angel, Faith/Connor/Spike. They're both fucking her, and each of them knows the other is fucking her and doesn't like it, but they both like their balls attached too much to try to tell Faith who she can and cannot sleep with. Post-apocalyptic pregnancy and babyfic.
Spectres of Hope. Angel, Wesley/Cordelia/Gunn, Fred/Wesley. Courtesy of Illyria, Wesley relives a moment with Gunn and Cordelia.
February
Silence. Buffy the Vampire Slayer comicsverse, Buffy/Satsu. Sometimes words aren't need; sometimes, they just simply aren't wanted.
March
Some Thing to Watch Over Me. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, John/Riley/Cameron. Termination's not an option, so Cameron is going to have to draw on other methods in order to neutralize the threat that Riley poses. 13,000 words.
Camp Camelot. Merlin (BBC), Merlin/Gwen/Morgana/Arthur. American summer camp AU: There's not much to do for the counselors at Camp Camelot to amuse themselves once the campers get put to bed, but one night's strip poker game may end up having summer-long ramifications.
May
Unfulfilled. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, John/Savannah. In 2016, a teenaged Savannah about what he saw in the future.
Substitution Rule. The Parent Trap. Annie isn't as fond of boys as her sister, but there are few pleasures she enjoys as much as sex with a boy that Hallie's fucked. Double drabble. Warning: rape via impersonation.
Confirmation Hearings. Veronica Mars. Mac shows up to Veronica's Senate confirmation hearings with her hair dyed pink.
June
Master and Commander. John Connor thought he knew how to be a soldier, but he was brought up to be a leader, not a follower.
July
Echoes of the Past (The Holographic Businesswoman Remix. Crossover between Dollhouse and Firefly. Someone in the future comes across Adelle DeWitt's imprint, and negotiations ensue.
Beside the Still Waters. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, John/Savannah, John/Savannah/Allison. In 2024 and 2016 (in that order), John goes swimming with Savannah.
August
Four Times Tony Stark Met Erik Lenscherr (And One Time He Didn't). Iron Man and X-Men movieverses. They're each a member of a different type of ruling class, but as their understandings of power evolve over the decades, they find they're not as different as they think.
November
Fever. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy/Faith. Faith turns to Buffy for help as she struggles with a demonic fever.
Caretakers. Doctor Who, Reinette/Ten, Reinette/Lucy, Reinette/Martha. Reinette finds herself in 21st-century London taking care of the broken wife and unborn child of the two Time Lords who changed her life forever, and she can't do it without help.
The Whipping Girl. Ender's Game, Peter/Val. He loves her for her martyrdom. [A revised and expanded version of a fic written for a porn battle and lost to the ravages of the internets.]
December [*deep breath*]
Glories Stream. "Alleluia" by Dar Williams, The Honesty Room. Heather's not a big fan of Heaven, but Liz makes it worth it.
If on a Yuletide morn a slasher. If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino. The cursor hovers over the link and you sloppily strike the touchpad with your finger, summoning the fic to you from its sleeping place somewhere deep in the inner workings of the AO3. [Be sure to read the full summary at the AO3; it's an integral part of the fic itself.] With bonus genderswapped space opera AU Platonic Dialogues!
Beleza and the B.E.A.S.T.. "Beauty and the Beast," Beleza/B.E.A.S.T. Belaza was angry with her father for selling her to the B.E.A.S.T. in order to settle some old shipping debts, but mostly she was frightened--frightened of what her life would be like on the space station, of the empty corridors and the lonely days, and, more than anything else, frightened of the B.E.A.S.T. itself, the Biomechanical Electronic Ahuman Sentience Transfer which was responsible for all of the station's functioning.
Skasis. Crossover between Doctor Who and Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. Thomasina solves the Skasis Paradigm.
Last Day on Earth. Ender's Game. It's strange for Valentine, knowing it's her last day on Earth.
Dancing Lessons. Arcadia. Septimus teaches Thomasina to dance--and then he teaches her to dance. A semi-porny insertion into the play's final scene.
The Fires of Love and Wrath. Arthurian myth/legend. [Mostly written while I was in high school, God help me.]
Though I Walk Through the Shadow. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, John/Savannah. Only two people know what it is like to live in the shadow of John Connor.
Life is Just This. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy/Willow. Buffy's not sure that Willow has figured out, even after all that's happened, why she knew she wasn't able to live without Buffy, why she had to resort to ripping Buffy's soul from heaven itself.
Deck of Cards. Jossverse RPF, Miracle & Felicia & Summer & Joss, Miracle/Summer, Joss-->Summer. After "Epitaph Two," Miracle Laurie wonders if she's going to have to wake up from the dream now.
