[sticky entry] Sticky: Fiction Master Post

The early stuff on this list is on LJ only. I may move it across at some point, but not right now.

If you're reading this post on LiveJournal and can't find a link to the LJ version of a story try this post. I'm in the process of unifying master lists but while its ongoing not all links are going to be in here.

If you are looking for anything as PDFs, EPUBs, MOBI or whatever then nearly all these stories are available at A03 where you can download them in a number of formats. Where they're not available at A03 I'm gradually including links to epub versions. PDFs and other formats are probably available on request.

Transformative Works: I can't imagine being anything but flattered should someone want to take some of my work and remix it, podfic it, create graphics for it or any other transformative work and would be delighted to hear about it (either before or after) - I mean, unless you are using it for Nazi propaganda or something equally offensive. The only caveat would be if you are taking some of my original fiction and trying to make some kind of profit from the transformative work in which case I would definitely like to be consulted beforehand.

Primeval Rec: The Coldest of Cold Shoulders

It's difficult to write a summary of this one, since the best part of it is the gradual reveal. It's about Stephen after the revelation of his affair with Helen and his interactions with the team. But what could have been a fairly straightforward angst-fest is made completely original by the denouement. Highly recommended.

Historical Fiction Rec from Previous Journal (for Reference)

The Rose (3275 words) by Kate_Swynford
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 15th Century CE RPF
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Elizabeth of York, Henry VII of England, Margaret of York, Anne Neville Queen of England, Catherine of Aragon
Summary:

Five looks at Elizabeth of York.



What is this?. I don't recall ever giving much thought ot Elizabeth of York in history lessons. My history teacher was a great Ricardian (though not so great that she didn't think the Richard III society was a little wierd) and I think she thought Perkin Warbeck really was the Duke of York. At any rate the focus of our lessons was on the political games and Elizabeth featured only as a pawn in those. This story fleshes her out, and quietly looks at the games she may have played herself, and her own acceptance and control of her fate.

As a warning, something odd seems to have happened to the paragraphs when posting. It's all perfectly legible, but does look a little off-puttingly wall-of-text at first glance.

"Three breeding pairs of future predators!" Connor said indignantly, "Why did they have three breeding pairs. How could they let them escape through an anomaly?"

This was not the first time he'd said this and Becker had a sinking feeling it would not be the last. Becker's knee ached. He was getting too old for this.

The anomaly had opened onto a paved road. Connor's gizmo said they were in Nigeria around 1250. Sarah had already lectured them about the Kingdom of Benin. Becker wasn't sure the information would help.

"Well," he said, "let's go and stop a mass extinction."

"... and Connor showed him Twitter? Can he even write?"

"Suprisingly well. He did mutter something about burning the accursed Monastery to the ground as he threw off its lily-livered chains of hypocritical piety and pointless academe."

"I see. Well I don't suppose anyone on Twitter will take him seriously."

Lester surveyed the anxious faces of his staff.

"OK, what aren't you telling me?"

"It is possible he called President Trump an orange-faced charlatan and challenged him to a wrestling match. Winner gets America."

Elena had been working tours since she joined the safari park at sixteen. She had been horribly nervous at first. Even now her lucky stegosaurs came with her, tucked safely in a pocket, a memory of a childhood obsessed with animals (albeit extinct ones).

"I'm not sure what that light effect is. It must be some mirage due to the heat.

"On the right, we are just passing the monkey forest. If we're lucky we should already be able to see a few macaques.

"On the left..." Elena blinked "...on the left you can see a small herd of Eohippus."

Rating: U

The crowds had left the beach long before Stephen had arrived, fleeing in panic from the scorpion. The creature was dead now and whatever clean-up crew the ARC was sending was yet to arrive. Stephen stood entirely alone.

He stared at the waves crashing on the shore. They were relentless and overwhelming.

Did his former colleagues, his former friends, know what he felt like? Did they think he'd just wandered off to his future, waving angrily at them as he left? Did they understand he felt like he was barely keeping his head above the water?

Not waving, but drowning.

There had been a horrific rush of activity: fighting a rearguard to the anomaly; bringing the bodies through; ambulances; shouting and ordering; getting back to the ARC.

Becker paused for a moment, his hands gripping the humvee's steering wheel, willing himself to get out of the car, make through the debrief and carry-on.

A scrap of paper fluttered on the passenger seat. He picked it up without thinking.

Sarah's scrawling script hit him like a blow:

Fetch Jenny's suit from dry cleaner
Buy anniversay present
Get hair done

Becker crumpled the note up and flung it out of the window.

Characters/Pairings:
Length: 3,226 words





What is this?: This was rightly one of the most highly recommended fics of Yuletide 2013. Galaxy Quest asked what happened if the stars of Star Trek were kidnapped from a convention and suddenly found themselves on in space having a Star Trek adventure. This fic asks what happens to the fandom afterwards - one answer is that no one talks about GalaxyCon '99.

Yew and Dogwood at the Battle of Agincourt.

Comment: I'm surprised I've not seen a rec for this already. I loved this prompt, to pair Yew and Dogwood through their connection with bows and arrows, when I saw it in a yuletide letter but couldn't think what to do with it. Agincourt is perfect!

"Is that music?" Danny asked, inclining his head towards the anomaly.

Everyone fell silent. They were standing in the middle of a field. There was nobody for miles and nothing to see except the ball of broken light. A woman's voice sang out faint but clear, a melody on the breeze. Sarah took a step forward.

"Sarah!" Becker said warningly.

"Non, je ne regrette rien."

"But," Sarah said.

Becker shook his head. "No exceptions."

Sarah sighed. "I bet it's backstage at the Paris Olympia through there."

"It's French isn't it," Connor said. "What does she regret?"

Sarah smiled. "Absolutely nothing."
