Title: A Better Sunset
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: BSG
Characters/Ship: Dualla
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: spoilers for the end of s2, a bit of Dee’s thoughts on what’s happening
Disclaimer: BSG isn’t mine either
Prompt #41: sunset

The sun set on Sagittaron every day, but they were boring in the mountainous lands the citizens of that colony inhabited. The sun lingered long behind the mountains but it was not the display of color and light Anastasia Dualla had seen on some of the other colonies after she joined the military, never returning to Sagittaron.

She had found she loved sunsets on other worlds, and she missed them now. Still, Dee wanted nothing to do with New Caprica, not even the sunsets. She had been promised Earth and that was still a dream, and a sunset, worth pursuing.



Title: Living Rough
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Doctor Who / Stargate SG-1
Characters/Ship: Rose, Rose/Daniel related
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: ‘Reckoning’ related in crossover world
Disclaimer: I’m just having fun with other people’s characters and stories
Prompt #42: roughing it

They had set Rose up in an opulent flat in Geneva while the negotiations went on, but all she cared about was the talks themselves. The sooner these issues were resolved the sooner she could get back where things were far more interesting.

And soon, even the talks didn’t matter to her. When Jack told her the Replicators had taken Daniel it was all she could do not to scream. She should have been there, fighting beside her family, protecting her husband, not trapped on Earth pleading for peace while out there battles for all of existence were taking place.



Title: We Were More
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Robin Hood (2006)
Characters/Ship: Much, slightly Much/Robin
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: only general spoilers for the mistreatment of Much
Disclaimer: If I owned it there would be much less mistreatment of Much
Prompt #43: drink

In the Holy Land, Robin had shared everything with Much. Everything he knew about fighting and strategy and everything he learned about the people they were fighting. He shared his meager water when they were lost in the desert. Everything had been stared between them, as equals.

But in Nottingham, Robin turned to others. His training was for untrained men, his confidences for Marian. It was as if everything he and Much had shared in the far away war had not come home with them.

For here Much carried the water, and passed it when Robin asked. A servant again.



Title: The Gardener
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Robin Hood (2006)
Characters/Ship: Guy, that one guy from 1x03, Vasey referenced
Rating: PG-13
Notes/Spoilers: 1x03 related so spoilers, **Testament-verse, Guy on his place in the world
Disclaimer: Nope, still not mine
Prompt #44: weed

I doubted his mind had fully understood that this happened on Vasey’s orders before I had buried my knife in his back. I was relieved Vasey had ordered me to kill him, I was always aware there could come a day he would order a new lieutenant to put a knife in my back. But this was Vasey’s order today.

He hadn’t lived long enough to understand that all people were weeds beneath Vasey’s feet, even the gardener who tended to the other weeds. I had survived as the gardener for a long time, but that didn’t change things forever.



Title: To Feel It All
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Characters/Ship: Stefan, past Stefan/Katherine, Lexi mentioned
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: pre-series 2x15: The Dinner Party spoilers (lightly), Stefan starting to feel
Disclaimer: TVD doesn’t belong to me
Prompt #45: sunrise

Day was coming, and Alexia was inside the house again, leaving Stefan alone on the porch of his family’s house. He twisted the ring on his finger, Emily had made it for him because of Katherine; that made it, and every sunrise he saw now, a gift from Katherine.

Alexia kept telling him to let himself feel again, but how could he when he’d have to think and feel about Katherine? He wasn’t sure how much of his feelings had been real and how much had been her compulsion, but he still felt it. When he let himself feel anything.



Title: A Lost Friend
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Robin Hood (2006)
Characters/Ship: Allan, Robin Guy
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: 2x13/3x01 spoilers, Allan understand Guy better that Robin can
Disclaimer: Robin Hood still doesn’t belong to me
Prompt #46: drown

Robin would never have understood, but Allan was hardly surprised to find Guy had been drowning himself in alcohol since the Holy Land. Guy could hate himself much more than Robin could hate him, because Guy was just better at hate.

And ultimately Robin had to let go of the hate, he couldn’t live on anger and revenge the way Guy could. Allan pitied Guy, though he kept that thought to himself. It would have sounded like he was taking Gisborne’s side and he wasn’t. Pity didn’t mean forgiveness; Marian would have understood the difference, but right now Robin couldn’t.



Title: Blood-sucker
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Characters/Ship: Damon
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: no specific timeframe, just Damon being evil
Disclaimer: Nothing TVD related belongs to me
Prompt #47: mosquito

The woman had come outside for a smoke, and wandered away from the lights of the party into the hot southern night for a breath of fresh air with her cigarette. She was pretty, and bored with the other party-goers. And she was oblivious to the man who watched her from the bushes, studying her and waiting.

As she went to light a cigarette she felt a tickle on her arm she swatted away a mosquito that had tried to latch on to her. “Damn bloodsuckers,” she muttered to herself.

Damon smiled gleefully, he did love a good entrance cue.



Title: Funny Little Family
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Doctor Who / Stargate SG-1
Characters/Ship: Jackie and the family
Rating: G
Notes/Spoilers: Post SG-1 timeframe in headcanon-verse, Jackie reflects on her odd little family
Disclaimer: Neither of these fandoms belongs to me, although I am expanding the cast with my own characters
Prompt #48: family

Jackie always felt lucky when her family was all under one roof. Pete still worked longer hours than she would have liked, protecting the world but rarely in danger. Rose and Daniel lived half a world away and spent far too much of their lives in danger for Jackie’s piece of mind.

And then there was Catherine. It was hard to think of her as a granddaughter when she was barely younger than Rose. Trevor and Randy were barely older than Aaron, which was unusual, though in an understandable way.

Catherine may be strange, but that fit with their family.



Title: Not Blowing in the Wind
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Doctor Who / Stargate SG-1
Characters/Ship: Rose, Jack, Rose/Daniel related
Rating: G
Notes/Spoilers: Headcanon-verse in mid SG-1 season 6, dealing with Daniel being ascended
Disclaimer: Still can’t claim to own these people
Prompt #49: breeze

Rose looked up as a breeze ruffled her hair, but it was just the wind. She couldn’t help being disappointed, even though the chances of Daniel coming around were slim.

Across the room she could see Jack looking at her. They had never really talked about seeing Daniel since his death, but she knew what had happened with Ba’al and he seemed to have figured out that she knew. Which is how they both knew what they each hoped for now, but she had to shake her head no.

Not that Daniel would have helped them even if he did come around.



Title: Stand Strong
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: The Office (US)
Characters/Ship: Pam, past Pam/Roy
Rating: G
Notes/Spoilers: Between s2-s3 Pam deals with being on her own
Disclaimer: The Office isn’t mine
Prompt #50: humid

Pam fidgeted with the air conditioner. It was hot and humid out and her super couldn’t come by until the next day to do anything about the AC so she was left to fend for herself tonight.

It was the first time she’d ever had to deal with anything like this on her own, she’d always had Roy to deal with this kind of thing.

Roy could have fixed it. That thought frustrated her; she was determined to prove she didn’t need Roy. She ended up slamming her hand against the side of the cooler. That didn’t help her case.
