Cerulean Blue

Here's the pinch hit I wrote for candyheartsex last month.

TITLE: To Join Together
FANDOM: Harry Potter
RATING: PG
PAIRING: Sirius Black/Lily Evans
CHARACTERS: Sirius Black, Lily Evans
SUMMARY: Lily Evans and Sirius Black in five moments.

AO3 Link

NOTES: The temptation was to write an origin story for Sirius and Lily - how they got together instead of James and Lily, or Sirius and Remus - but frankly that was really difficult to do for what was a short story exchange, and I decided to do a five things conceit assuming Sirius/Lily and not explaining how or why. I like what I came up with, though like many exchange stories, what I dreamed of writing only manifested in part, and I could definitely do more here. Anyway, I hadn't written HP fic in ages, I still have so many *other* ideas for HP fic, and this was fun to do.

I woke up thinking about these things: the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, unmooring, a happier ending for Nick Andros, and bright light.

This is what resulted.

TITLE: From Silent Hosts
FANDOM: A Christmas Carol/The Stand
RATING: PG
PAIRING: None
CHARACTERS: The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Nick Andros, Tom Cullen, Randall Flagg
SUMMARY: The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is unmoored from his own reality and his power changes a few things for Nick and Tom, among others.

TITLE: Watch As I Dive In
FANDOM: Star Wars (Prequel Trilogy)
RATING: PG
PAIRING: Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi
SUMMARY: Five times Obi-Wan and Padmé have a conversation, and one more that might have changed it all. AU

TITLE: A Wish Her Heart Makes
FANDOM: Spider-Man - Tom Holland Movies, Spider-Man: No Way Home

PAIRING: Michelle Jones/Peter Parker
SUMMARY: Michelle Jones dreams, and then, she wakes.

Notes: I started writing something after I saw No Way Home, and it didn't go much of anywhere, but finishing it made me feel better. So here it is, imperfect, uncomplicated sugar because that's what I wanted.

TITLE: All This, to Prove We Cared
FANDOM: Jurassic Park (Movies)
RATING: PG-13
CHARACTERS: Owen Grady, Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm, Simon Masrani
SUMMARY: Alan Grant sends a book to Owen Grady.

Written for jedibuttercup for Not Prime Time 2018

Notes: Title from the Robert Frost poem The Exposed Nest. Alan Grant takes a lot of cues from the Crichton novel here (which I re-read this summer for the first time in more than twenty years), but it is mostly background. This is very much movie-fic.

TITLE: To the Future in the Distance
FANDOM: Star Wars
RATING: PG-13
PAIRINGS: Kaydel Ko Connix & Leia Organa, Kaydel Ko Connix & OMC, Leia Organa & Amilyn Holdo, Leia Organa & Amilyn Holdo & Doman Beruss (Corellian)
SUMMARY: Kaydel Ko Connix goes to work for Senator Leia Organa.

Written for igrockspock for maythe4thbewithyou 2018

Also on AO3.

Notes: Slightly AU throughout, but intended to dovetail into canon. The Doman Beruss appearing here is a Legends character . Ponc Gavrisom and Behn-Kihl-Nahm are also Legends characters. I took significant liberties with all three. C-1A-3PO, Denri Thyulian, Freha Girard, B'Shaki, Fallon Horn, and Senators Erelen and Ysanne Nahdonnis all have names inspired by Legends characters, but are otherwise totally original.

TITLE: Bound for the Promised Land
AUTHOR: Maidenjedi
FANDOMS: Stephen King's The Stand, Stephen King's IT, The X-Files
RATING: R
SPOILERS: Both books in their entirety, The X-Files through season five
DISCLAIMER: Not my worlds or my characters.

SUMMARY: An unlikely group comes together in the wake of Captain Trips, and like so many survivors, they go west.

Written for notalwaysweak for crossovering 2017

NOTES: Thank you a million times over to vaznetti for beta; without her, there would be a lot less cohesion here!

Timeline note - this takes place in The Stand timeline in the "complete and uncut edition." The X-Files timeline has been shifted back to accommodate that; assume the events of "Traveler" and "The Unusual Suspects" have happened, just a bit earlier than in the official canon. So this is pre-XF, post-It, and concurrent with The Stand.

I had no intention of staying up to actually finish this.  I came into my home office at 11 and picked up a book I have on Civil War battlefields, to get a sense of the timeline of Antietam for this story.  It was originally meant to be a shorter vignette for the series "Sea of Tranquility, Ocean of Storms" (indeed, "Ocean of Storms" was the working title), and I had intended it to be about just one or two of the characters.  It kind of grew as I went, so I just wrote.  It felt longer, while I was writing.  I am sure it could be, if I felt equal to the task of conveying 1860s hospital chaos with no visual aid.  

It is about Antietam, obvs, also called the Battle of Sharpsburg (in the South).  I was struck when watching the series finale (spoiler!) that they didn't really....talk about the battle, per se.  The show went with the political aftermath, which I get.  This battle didn't have the impact on Alexandria that others did, in a physical sense, plus battle scenes cost more, and the show is and isn't about the war itself.  But the single bloodiest day of the war does warrant more than a political tussle onscreen, I thought.  And that's how this grew in my head.
