The Rose's Grove

Posted a slightly insane BtVS/Highlander crossover over on summer_of_giles. And just typo'd that as Summer_of_Files, which ought to be an X-Files ficathon. Anyway.

Fic is here.

Well. It only took me a little over a year to finish it, but zinjadu, I finally have your birthday fic done.

You guessed it - it's that damned crossover I've been promising.

Fandoms: Highlander and X-Files
Characters: Scully, Mulder, and Maggie, Charlie, and Bill Scully (Jr), and Joe, Methos, Richie, and Amy.
Summary: This is a bit of an AU for both series. Basically, blip out the whole Ahriman situation for Highlander, and forget about that crazy situation where Mulder disappeared from the X-Files. This fic also assumes the background of my "Interference" series, namely that Amy was assigned as Methos' Watcher and things... got a bit messy after that. Forgive me, I have no control over my own characters.
And dear gods, don't squint too hard at the plot. I know it's cracked. o_O

( Family Portrait )

First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions. You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you are going to use.

1. Remus Lupin
2. Simon Tam
3. Malcolm Reynolds
4. River Tam
5. Methos
6. Garak
7. Julian Bashir
8. Aragorn
9. Eomer
10. Miss Clara ;)
11. Severus Snape
12. Austin from Summon the Keeper

( And the Questions: )

Only a week later than I'd expected!

Title: Interference, Chapter 4: "Undertow"
Summary: Amy's memories of her initiation bring up issues in the present that still need to be dealt with.
Warnings: There's a teeny bit of swearing in here, nothing that shouldn't have made it through prime-time censors. See previous chapters of "Interference" here, here, and here.
Disclaimer: The characters and concepts involved herein do not belong to me, but the storyline does. No money is being made of this - if it were, it wouldn't have taken me so long to get it finished. ;)
Author's Note: Many thanks to the irrepressible zinjadu for listening to me rant, helping me edit, and providing much-needed moral support in the writing of this chapter. It was intended as a sort of Father's Day gift but, as usual, the writing process got a bit out of control. Hopefully Chapter 5 won't give me so much trouble.

( Undertow )

I didn't really stay up til 2:20am last night. Not at all. >.>

Okay, so I did. But it wasn't my fault! I was totally exhausted when coming home from work (narsilion can corroborate this - I almost fell asleep in the van), and then I was all snoozy at home and planning to just take a really fast shower, eat something, and go to bed. And then I chatted with coramegan for a bit, and it was decided that she needed to see a few episodes of Highlander. And by that point, I was starting to get a second wind... and you can't just make someone watch your favorite show without you! So I took my shower, had a grilled cheese sandwich, and we watched "Chivalry." Then I was completely awake, so we watched "Timeless." I love that episode so very much, even though the main plot is kind of bleh. Claudia amuses me, but there's way too much of her pretending to play the piano (you never notice how horribly fake it is until you've got someone next to you who really plays). And Alexa's hair in the first scene is horrid beyond belief, but I love her anyway. And Joe!!! Anyway. Then we chatted. And then I had to brush teeth/clean cat box/do the usual night-time stuff.... yeah.

It was soooo much fun, though. But now I need to get ready for class.

I think this is the last of the requested drabbles - tiffangelwings requested Happy!Ed from FMA, so here it is.

( Late Night )

ETA: I forgot one! narsilion requested that I see what might happen if Duncan, Methos, Joe, Mulder and Scully were allowed to briefly meet up. Scary as it is, I had to try... and it kind of morphed. I meant to add in Duncan and Methos, but it's a double as it is, and Amy fit better... so I apologize. I'll try to add a few more later as Mulder and Scully continue their investigation. *g*

( Thursday Night at Joe's )



Damn the drabble format... I had more I wanted to do in that one, but I just can't make it fit.

If anybody else wants to request something or an additional drabble to what I've already written, I'm still keeping it open just because I've discovered I really like writing these things. Expect more of the silly little buggers in the future. ;)

Got a bunch of painting done on the Domesday Book laste night after finishing my homework, and now I think I'm gonna play with the fic for a bit before I head off for lunch and class.

Fey, I just had to make a little drabble of what we talked about last night. It's Highlander, and it's Duncan/Methos (or Methos/Duncan?) and not at all explicit.

( Morning After )

Alrighty - I just turned in my commentary for my anthro class, and my archaeology midterm this morning went pretty well, so I get to write more drabbles before getting back to work!

For narsilion, who requested "fun and fluffy" Amy and Methos romance. This one's a double, because... well, I liked it a lot, and Methos won't shut up. :D

( Tell Me All Your Secrets )


And for coramegan, who requested Cho and Luna coming to an understanding:

Fandom: Highlander
Title: "Interference," Chapter 2.
Rating, Summary, etc: General, with a bit of a warning for language. Takes up directly after the end of "Interference", and continues in Amy's POV as she learns more about her new 'assignment.' See the warnings and summary before "Interference" for more details - here, let it suffice to say that I'm tweaking post-series canon a bit, and that I don't own anybody who's named in here. Oh, right - and a bit of cursing.

( Interference, Chapter 2 )

Spent all day today wrapped up in my computer chair watching DVDs (the first two episodes of DS9 season six, then "The Messenger," "Comes a Horseman," and "Revelations 6:8" from Highlander - was much cheered by the collarbone of doom in CaH. o.O You know you're cracked when seeing someone's collarbone gets you going "ooooooooo." But... so pretty!!!) and sipping water/juice/broth/Sprite. Had a bowl of soup for dinner, then decided I felt really really warm to the touch and went to bed... and slept from 7pm til 10:30pm.

Woke up, felt pretty good, went upstairs and had a piece of toast, made lunch for tomorrow... and started feeling crappy again while I did that. Tummy still feels nasty, I haven't showered 'cause I'm afraid I'll get dizzy, and I'm seriously considering skipping lecture (at least) again tomorrow. I don't want to get all the way to campus and then feel sick. I really really don't. I'm a little worried about missing class two days in a row, but he posts the lecture slides to the website, and I'm always a week ahead on the reading...

And then the problem after that is anthro, and work. Missing anthro would be Not Good (it's very small and very discussion-based), but we're watching a movie in part of class tomorrow, so it wouldn't be awful. Work would be bad to miss, but I'd rather warn them ahead of time and not go in than go and feel totally craptastic and not be able to do my job.

It really all depends on how I feel tomorrow, but I've been so on and off and just on the edge of really feeling bad that I'm worried I'll get there and put off coming home until I'm really feeling shitty.
