DALEMARK QUARTET

Allow For Inflation -- Mitt/Maewen -- 1236 words -- December 2007
Maewen almost said something very stupid like 'oh but I shouldn't, you see, I'm waiting for someone' before it came to her that this might be part of her own little war, or part of that inflation Mitt was talking about.


DOCTOR WHO

Doctor Who Season Four -- Doctor/Master, Martha, Jack -- 50614 words -- July 2007
He makes the Doctor's life hell and in return the Doctor endlessly forgives him, and it creates a sort of hungry feedback loop; each of them trying to break the other in the way they know best.

Doctor Who Season Five -- Doctor/Master, Donna, Martha, Jack -- 50536 words -- July 2008

Carry On -- Kowalski/Vecchio, Fraser -- 8299 words -- October 2009

Dawn -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 8298 words -- December 2009
"I never thought I'd be doing the good cop side of the good cop-bad cop routine, is all," Ray said, and glanced sidelong at Fraser. "You're probably right. It's good. You're kinda smart about this whole parenting deal."

Follow Without Pride -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4899 words -- October 2009
"But you're pissed off when he does stuff like that?" Ray wanted to know. "When he doesn't listen and almost gets killed?"

Forty-Five Years -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 889 words -- June 2009
Ray's never going to get used to it, but it's the good kind of not-getting-used-to, like how he's never going to get used to waking up spooning Fraser.

Katabasis -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 17057 words -- April 2009
"I talked to your dad, I went through this place called the Borderland, I had a boat ride, I fed a wolf a doughnut, and I told stories for your soul," Ray interrupted. "This does not mean you are not insane."

The Love Song of S. Raymond Kowalski -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4960 words -- May 2009
Ray dared to smush his experimental hair down in hats in Canada, dared to eat everything Fraser gave him including the freaky bark tea, dared ... dared to let Fraser turn his world inside out and meet his eyes afterward.

Magnetic -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 20909 words -- March 2009
Ray remembered something about that from high school science class, something about how magnets with the same charge couldn't get near each other, but high school science had been wrong, because Ray was the one pinging off the walls over here, while Fraser and Vecchio were just standing there, easy as anything.

Magnificent Mile -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4555 words -- December 2009

Signs of Affection -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 5785 words -- August 2009
Even Fraser had agreed, if a little resignedly, and Ray had felt like total crap for asking Fraser to bluff and mislead and prevaricate and anything else short of outright lying, even though he knew Fraser did it all the time. It was different if Ray and Vecchio were asking him to.

A State of Being (In Five Steps, With Flowchart) -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 2828 words -- November 2009

Undercover -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 12522 words -- October 2009
If Ray got stuck on a case, he'd start to call the Yellowknife line, and his hands would shake badly enough he'd have to punch the couch a few times to calm down. He always ended up calling Vecchio instead.

Saunter -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 1454 words -- June 2005

Quicksand -- Sam -- 1998 words -- August 2009
There has to be limits to what the mind can do. Grit on Annie's palms, all the air knocked out of him when Gene slams him into a wall, cigarette smoke and the sticky drink rings on the tables at the Arms. Limits.


MERLIN

Controllable Things -- Arthur/Merlin -- 1515 words -- October 2008

SLINGS & ARROWS

high on a stage be placed to the view -- Geoffrey/Darren -- 1341 words -- September 2009
"A flying start," says Darren in a snap of contempt, and Geoffrey feels a jolting little thrill, because they have this down, they already have it perfectly in tune; of course the irony of playing Guildenstern is lost on Darren, but the irony of playing Rosencrantz off him had been lost to Geoffrey until these three words.

If We Shadows -- Oliver, Geoffrey, Ellen (in various permutations) -- 1775 words -- January 2009
Geoffrey is an instrument of words; he knows words can move a whole mass of bodies to laughter, to a collective gasp, to unashamed tears. But it's an aesthetic, words to create something beautiful, and suddenly, Ellen says, Ellen says ...


STARGATE ATLANTIS

Like This -- Sheppard/McKay -- 4944 words -- January 2007
Rodney's here and Rodney's his best friend, whatever Rodney might say about Carson, and they're clinging together like two men in another galaxy, who have never really known what home was before Atlantis, who are entirely alone because they once chose to be and it's a habit now, who never know what to say no matter how many damn words they use.

Cold, he thought detachedly. The only really cold thing is interstellar space.

And Count Myself a King of Infinite Space -- [DVD commentary] -- Hard Core Logo/Slings & Arrows -- Geoffrey & Billy -- 5713 words -- July 2009
Despite the music, despite the obvious patchwork lie that makes up the final cut, there is something raw and honest about this damn film, something -- something Geoffrey overused and abused, applied with indiscriminate disaster to his own life, something Shakespearean.
