( And the title of the doc is Sam and Dean wingfic. No actual wings. I have no idea where I was going, but this bit is general audiences. )

Oh holy cow, this was going to be a crossover! With... um. Damn, I don't remember. The New York mention shook something loose, but it's not quite catching. Heroes, maybe? I don't think it was X-Men. Could be Stargate, but I don't think so. Damn, this was actually all planned out, I wish I could remember (though it's been completely and thoroughly jossed at this point, so ridiculously out of date as to be useless).

ETA: Oh! soleta remembered! It's a crossover with Constantine! Dean was going to be half-angel and Sam half-demon. I really don't remember anything beyond that.

I have honestly no idea what or whyfore any of these are for/from/prompted by. They're just on bits of paper in my writing folder, and as I have no interest in following them up (but do like them, even though they would take many more words to sell me on some of the characterization), I shall post them here.

( Warning for implied non-con on the last one, D&D on the first one, and violence and dark themes on the middle two. Total maybe 350 words. )

Anyone care to join me, start the new year fresh?

Cambion: In medieval legend, a cambion is the half-human offspring of the union between a human male and a succubus, or of an incubus and a human female.

So, that's over 3000 words of a story that I know down to my bones but simply cannot get to work, no matter what I try. ARG. :(

So I've had a horrible week. I've broken two computers, I put in a grant at 11:58pm the day it was due, and I'm low on sleep (yes, partially because of the HP premiere, but that's one bright spot in a really crappy week). The one paragraph I wrote of this is about as much as is ever going to get written.

When John was twelve, he found out he was adopted. He doesn’t even think his mom noticed; she was flipping through the important documents they kept in the safe and John saw a folder labeled John’s adoption papers. It explained so much.

Where this was going: John is Mama Petrelli's kid. I don't know if he's canonically older than Nathan, but I'd make him so. There were nice linkups to the situation with Nathan and Claire and I was planning on making the ATA gene the same as the gene that gives the Heroes their powers. (Part of the reason I gave it up is that this feels like it's been done to death.) I have no idea what power I'd give John. Maybe charm, a little like Matt's mind powers, but very specific (or maybe he just never realized what they are, and so, never developed them?).

In the end it was going to be story about family, families by blood, by culture, by choice, and the intersections of all these, and what it means about who you are. I'm just too wrung out to actually write this story (and too far behind on Heroes, tbh).

So for a brief, shining moment, I loved Eastwick with all my heart. I even created eastwick_fic. That didn't go anywhere, and I couldn't make myself finish this fic, even though there's only the fun sexytiems to finish. It's an episode cap, and I don't even remember which ep, now, so I'm not even sure it makes sense. Time to set this one free.

Yeah, I often leave stories in the middle of a sentence like that. *shrug* They're the hardest to pick up, too, because I wonder if I had an idea when I left them, and now I can't remember... *sigh*

One of the stories I've wanted for a really long time came out of a conversation with a friend of mine. We were talking about characterization, and she said Ronon was easy, that all he had to do was eat and fight. And I think that's wrong on so many levels, but it is often convenient shorthand to write Ronon as the big dumb thug or the caveman. Give him dreadlocks and we know who you're talking about.

I've read something like my bunny, I think, recently, or maybe someone was talking about it. At any rate, it's pretty far down my list, which seems to be growing exponentially, so I am hoping someone will adopt the bunny and write it for me, because there needs to be much more awesome Ronon fic in the world (cue pointing at satedan_grabass, the Ronon/John fest going on).

I have always wanted the fic where Ronon was an intellectual on Sateda before going into the service. Maybe that's why he went, he's a master tactician. Maybe they all joined at the end, knowing the Wraith were planning on culling them to extinction. At any rate, I was going to basically make this all come out around Rodney presenting a paper, where Ronon is in the audience and reminisces about teaching classes, or his students, or the subject matter, or extra-curricular activities, I don't know. Maybe all of it. And all I've got so far is a single introductory paragraph that doesn't do anything at all, but feel free to adopt the bunny, the words, or both as it suits you.

They take turns going with Rodney to present his papers. Ronon goes to the really big gatherings; Teyla goes to the government ones. Sheppard only goes to the ones he can't slither out of.

We were in Boston this weekend, and drove past the Daedalus Bar and Lounge, and laughed. Then we went past Rodney's bookstore, and I went hmmmm. Then there was The Phoenix Rising (another bar), Apollo Dental, The Asgard (restaurant)...

We ended up sort of overlaying SGA on Mass Ave, and this is what we got:

Rodney...........Rodney's Bookstore
John...............Weirdo Records
Teyla..............Prana Power Yoga (you should have seen the beautiful pictures - one of them was this gorgeous pair of women from the back doing a behind-the-back handhold... gorgeous).
Ronon............Central Kitchen (it had a beautiful woody exterior and pretty pretty elephant pictures on the door)
Lorne.............Pearl Art Supplies (sorry, gblvr, to be so cliched for this and Radek)
Zelenka..........Supreme Liquors
Sam................The Phoenix Rising (bar)
Enemy#1........Cheapo Records (John's competition)
Todd..............Hubba Hubba (the bar next to Cheapo Records - just because I liked it)

Other notables:

...MIT is right up the block, where I imagine Elizabeth is a dean.
...there was some sort of medical place just up from MIT for Carson and/or Keller
...Apollo Dental
...The Asgard
...Daedalus Bar and Lounge (is actually further down and not on Mass Ave)
...Miracle of Science Bar and Grill (for the rest of the science team, maybe?)
...Toscanini's Ice Cream (Woolsey?)

So there's no chance in hell I'm writing this (what would the plot be, anyway? They all hang out until Cheapo Records moves in and tries to take John's business? Whatever.) But hey, it was a fun afternoon, anyway. And then we went to the beach and played in the waves.
