Because my story for the West Wing AU-athon is like banging my head against a brick wall, only less productive and more painful, here’s my favourite 5 of my stories, from the meme that’s going around:
1.
What if I Told You Stargate Atlantis/SG-1, John/Cameron. My last fic for
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
14valentines: from watching Cameron at the end of The Quest, and John at the end of Sunday and thinking they needed someone to comfort them. I wanted it to show that they care for each other, and that they have for a while, and I think it’s in there, from John going to Cameron because he’s hurting and Cameron knowing who it is, to them collapsing on each other and only having sex in the middle of the night, when it’s dark, to the end with them wanting to be nearer and not being able to. It’s John and Cameron exactly the way that I see them.
2.
Worth Staying For: CSI/CSI:NY, Sarah/Aiden. Written for a challenge from a very specific prompt that was probably the only prompt I’ve ever looked at and had an instant idea for that’s worked. Sarah and Aiden are my CSI-verse OTP, and I like how the story builds from them not really being able to get on to Aiden leaving because she has to, and making promises to return.
3.
Stumbling Homewards: King Arthur, Gawain/Tristan. I got into King Arthur for Arthur and Lancelot (they might as well be canon!), but I ended up writing about Gawain and Galahad and Tristan. I loved the film, but I missed the mysticism I was expecting, and this is one of my stories that has that, with Tristan haunting Gawain as a falcon while Gawain and Galahad make their way home after the end of the movie. It’s also one of my many fics that has a half-written sequel in my head, so I fear it’s only a matter of time before it carries on…
4.
A Dark Magician: King Arthur, no pairing. More mysticism, more Gawain, though this time stuck in a cave with Lancelot. This was me trying to put the wizardiness into Merlin, which is sadly lacking in the film, and trying to explain how he got so tied up with Arthur’s knights. I’m not sure what it is I like about this, but it just seemed to work when I was writing it, and I liked my Lancelot in it.
I don’t know that I have a fifth favourite. The first four were easy to pick, but now I don’t know. I’m kind of tempted to say
my space pirate AU for Atlantis, because I think the premise is cool. Or
All Roads Lead to the White House, a Josh/Leo, Josh/CJ West Wing fic for
tww_minis, just because, when I got the prompt I spent a week staring at it going I can’t write that!
All right…
5.
Two Stepping: Stargate Atlantis, Katie Brown/Laura Cadman, because I’m a femslasher at heart and this just flowed when I was writing it. Laura’s fun and they just seemed like a natural fit to me because honestly, I do not get what Katie is meant to be doing with Rodney – that’s just bizarre!
