Non-official, but still totally legit, "self-promotion" post

For everyone who's reluctant to post links to their own challenge-appropriate works that they've created since the last [livejournal.com profile] halfamoon, here is the post where you can do so without any shame or feeling of being egotistical. Here! Someone is asking you to! Remember, fandom is very very big these days, so you may have created something that someone else would totally love and has never seen. (Just now in this community I saw a rec to a long, thoughtful story for one of my favorite characters in one of my big fandoms that was written almost a year ago that I had completely missed!)

Link away!

And here are mine:

Corvée (SGA, NC-17)
Summary: In San Francisco, Teyla is starting to see things differently.

If not by faith, then by the sword: five happy endings for Teyla and Michael (SGA, NC-17)
Summary: What it says on the label.

Thanks for this post - I always get very self-conscious about self-promotion :)

I've written a lot of Primeval fic over the last 12 months, most of which is female-centric or at least has female characters in it where they're important to the plot. But the ones I think best fit the challenge are:

Watermarked (Abby/Connor, PG13) - set post series 3 and Abby's point of view. Written for [livejournal.com profile] twistedchick for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide, who wanted Abby tending an injured creature. I chose Connor, for obvious reasons ::g:: (I love the fact that, in canon, Abby takes on the traditional 'male' heroic role and Connor often takes on the traditionally female role of 'damsel in distress' and yet neither of them is masculinised or feminised.)

What My Lips Have Kissed (Jenny/Sarah, PG) - there's not a lot of femslash in Primeval, and very little Sarah fic in total. Written for [livejournal.com profile] lsellersfic as part of the last [livejournal.com profile] primevalathon fic exchange.

Bliss In Every Thorn (Abby/Connor, NC-17, kink) - Abby's obviously supposed to be more experienced in canon than Connor, in all ways really, and I wanted to write a story that shows her as a sexual being with her own sexual desires and willing to share those with someone else (and Abby/Connor is my OTP in this fandom). Written for [livejournal.com profile] mmom.

Landscape (Abby/Jenny, NC-17) - more femslash, written for [livejournal.com profile] mmom

A couple of one offs in other fandoms:

Holding Infinity (Alice/Hatter, NC-17), an Alice (SyFy 2009) story, that's about Alice and Hatter learning about each other now they're home - as it's Alice's POV is mostly about Alice, and how she learns to trust and let go of her past fears.

Woo The Day (Maid Marian and Her Merry Men, Marian/Robin, G) - I utterly adored this TV show when I was younger, wherein Marian is fabulous and she's the one who leads the Merry Men. While the tv show itself was aimed at younger children, it didn't shy away from the feminist messages in amongst the slapstick, and Marian was totally awesome. While this story is told from Robin's point of view, I tried to position it as Robin finally realising how fabulous Marian is as well. Another [livejournal.com profile] yuletide fic.

I watched a bunch of these, and I just love how compassionate, understanding and loving your approach to all of these women is, and it's impressive how you were able to dig out their POVs, even when most of them were stuck in stories of men. Your song choices are very fitting and awesome too. Gotta keep my eye out for your stuff from now on. ;)

    I write about girls on a regular basis, but here are some stories I feel fit the theme of the challenge well, from newest to oldest:

    The Shattered Sapphire in the Fireplace (http://archiveofourown.org/works/45695)
    RPF — Disney Channel, Selena Gomez/David Henrie; 13500 words, PG-13
    "Removing each element from the whole here might severely compromise the remains," Selena recites, and would go on if she didn't have to stop to shout, "Be careful!" like anyone here doesn't know they might lose their heads if they're not. An AU based on the Bones premise.

    I'll Be Trouble, You're So Nice (http://archiveofourown.org/works/34922)
    Wild Child, Poppy/Kate; 5600 words, PG-13
    Kate doesn't see why her stomach should feel disquieted by the idea of Poppy being single now. Obscure fandom femslash.

    Glee, all Rachel/Quinn:

    If I Chose to Listen, I Wouldn't Take Your Advice (http://summerstorm.livejournal.com/365330.html)
    4120 words, PG. "I can't believe I'm locked in with you," she says. "I can't believe I'm locked in in the first place, but I really can't believe I'm locked in with you." It's like a huge cosmic joke. Quinn doesn't know what she's done to anger God or the universe. An early character study.

    Hold On, Baby, You're Losing It (http://summerstorm.livejournal.com/355578.html)
    2500 words, NC-17. "She's lovely," Mrs. Fabray said. "Real shame about the—" Tentacles: A Fairy Tale.

    Walk Like Rain (http://archiveofourown.org/works/25372)
    50,000 words, PG-13. A Sky High fusion, i.e.: a superhero school AU.


    Another Room (http://summerstorm.livejournal.com/337473.html)
    Friday Night Lights, Lyla/Tyra; 3000 words, PG-13; post season 3. Lyla grows up.

    Hold That Thought (http://summerstorm.livejournal.com/334902.html)
    Freaks and Geeks, Kim/Lindsay; 2270 words, NC-17
    Lindsay's nice, though. Lindsay likes Kim about as much as she likes Daniel, just in a different way.

    in time of daffodils(who know (http://archiveofourown.org/works/30784)
    Freaks and Geeks, Kim Kelly; 2300 words, PG-13
    I like to refer to this fic as the Kim Kelly Is Bisexual story. That's about as good a summary for it as I can offer.

    Gonna Close My Eyes (http://summerstorm.livejournal.com/334838.html)
    RPF — American Idol S8, Kara DioGuardi, Adam/Kris(/Katy); 5000 words, R
    A second-person, outsider's-PoV story that turned into something close to a character study of someone I never thought I'd be interested in writing about.

    Time To Land (http://archiveofourown.org/works/41067)
    Veronica Mars, Veronica, Veronica/Meg; 11,000 words, PG-13
    A retelling of season 1 wherein Veronica was born with a pig nose — think Penelope.

    Muscles Better and Nerves More (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/419389.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Bradley/Mrs. Bradley, not worksafe.
    The officer she's in love with is best described as 'clueless'. So clearly it's her job to show him the ropes. >:D

    Feather Stitch Hem (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/419719.html)
    XXXHolic, Kunogi Himawari, ensemble
    Himawari takes up fancy work.

    Bodies May Far Off Remove (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/420723.html)
    Firefly, Kaylee, AU
    Kaylee Frye left her family for love of a ship. But she’s keeping her name.

    Time to Take (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/422746.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Ran Fan, Winry
    Ran Fan’s world has always been, in some ways, small. But it’s growing.

    As Dragons Go (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/434188.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Ran Fan, ensemble, AU
    Alchemy, under the table diplomacy, and espionage - all the usual, but with dragons.

    Every Happy Family Is Happy In Its Own Way (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/436399.html)
    Princess Tutu, Ahiru, Fakir, ensemble - major spoilers for the whole series.
    After the story stops, life goes on.

    The Closet With an Open Door (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/439379.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Ross, Broche, OC
    Broche probably would have seen it earlier, if it had occurred to him to look. I am slightly torn about this one. It turns on Ross, and it passes the Bechdel test, but it's Broche's pov, and part of it is about the limitations of that.

    Complement of Human Virtues (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/442057.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Ran Fan, Ling
    Ran Fan is very, very loyal. Fortunately for Ling, who is a doofus.

    Chestnuts (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/444577.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Mei, Scar
    Mei doesn't indulge the Byronic brooding very well.

    The Things We’ve Handed Down (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/446913.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, various Armstrong women through the centuries
    Armstrong family traditions on the distaff side.

    Hurricane Lamp (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/449638.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Trisha Elric, Hohenheim
    As usual, Hohenheim crashes into Trisha's peaceful life at a very odd moment.

    All Color and Light (http://tiamatschild.livejournal.com/453638.html)
    Fullmetal Alchemist, Ross, Broche
    A change in Ross’s environment catches her eye.
