through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered . . .

Hey, look, another Torchwood drabble! Follows from this one. No spoilers, but won't make much sense without the last one, which is confusing without knowledge through at least 2x08. So.




( 'Owen, what is that?' )

Doctor Who/Torchwood drabble. Not spoilery in and of itself, but you really need to be caught up on recent Torchwood events to understand it. Gen, PG.



( Owen, by dint of running late, is the last to meet Jack's precious Doctor. )

The revised and polished version of the accidental Torchwood fic, for linking at communities.





TITLE: "Passing the Time"
AUTHOR: Cathryn/catslash
RATING: PG
PAIRING: Jack/Owen. Sort of. Ish.
SUMMARY: Old things done in a new way.
SPOILERS: MAJOR spoilers from "Reset" (2x06) on.
DISCLAIMER: Russell T Davies created the show. I make neither claims nor money.



( spending all his free hours at his flat was unfeasible )

So I was going to, like, sleep and stuff. Kind of overexerted myself today. But then I watched a bunch of Doctor Who, and then I remembered that joanne_c was running a Doctor Who/Torchwood porn battle, and then I accidentally wrote this. It is not porn, but I had fun.

( Owen was often the problem. He knew that. Sometimes he'd even admit it. )

So I've spent much of my winter break watching TV shows and reading fanfic. One of the major offenders has been Supernatural, and it is ridiculous not only how much fanfic there is, but how much of it is good. This fandom may be utterly fucking bugshit crazy, but it has the highest ratio of quality to crap in any large fandom I've ever seen. As a result, I've amassed so many Supernatural fics in my LJ memories that they comprise over half of the total entries in the "fic" section. Winter break is now winding down, so I thought I'd celebrate by passing along my finds. I'm sure some of them will be familiar to those of you who have been in the fandom for a while, but hopefully there's some new stuff in there, too. This doesn't come even close to representing everything I enjoyed, but it's a good sampling.

Uh, and one other thing: it's not all slash. Yeah, I know! Nobody's more surprised, believe me. So I've pulled it all together in categories, because not everything here is everyone's cup of tea, and I've added little snips from each fic. Which I tried to keep work safe when it was relevant, and believe me that was not always easy.


( Genfic first, because I think I've still got at least one non-slasher on my flist. )

( Wincest. Because that's really all the show has to give to us slashers. )

( RPS. Because Jeffrey Dean Morgan does not have to be in character to be hot. )

( And even a lone het PWP. WHAT IS THIS FANDOM DOING TO ME )

The end. Oh, man. I've never actually looked that closely at my memoried fic before. I think I have issues.

This is, technically, a roleplay tag, but it can be read as a bit of fic on its own, too, I think, so I'll leave it unlocked.

In which Mike Piazza is frustrated and being injured sucks. (I am getting WAY too much mileage out of this icon.)

Disclaimer: is not real, is fake as can be, is just idle speculation and completely fictitious speculation at that, etc.

( the waste of time and the interruption of adjusting to a new position in a new league and the nagging sense of letting the team down because he picked the wrong fucking second to slide and they got him anyway )

Right. So I read this article last night, in which Pudge claims that he was really just being nice to the opposing pitcher and was misinterpreted. Totally. Just sweet as can be. What, you don't believe him?

Yeah, me either. (What an awesome weekend for bullshit - Trot was giving Brazelton information, Arroyo was pitching inside and he missed, and Pudge was being nice. I am way too amused.) So I was thinking about that at work today, and I ended up having to spool out the receipt tape.

It's so short that it's not even worth a header, so just a couple of notes.

NOTE THE FIRST: Dedicated to offspeed and americanleaguer, who have both pestered given me information encouraged me to write Tigerslash the very millisecond I felt up for it. Uh, apparently I'm up for it. Who knew? I was certainly surprised.
NOTE THE SECOND: In other news, this is fiction and is intended to imply nothing about anyone mentioned. Or anyone not mentioned. Or anyone at all ever. 'Cos it's fiction.



( Teeny Tigers ficlet ahoy! )



Those of you who would know, tell me the truth: Is it any good, or should I keep with the "wait till I know more about them" plan?

Took my very first trip to the corner laundromat today. Thought it would be a tedious pain in the ass, but time flies when you're ficcing. (Surprisingly, writing Yankeeslash in a laundromat is not as surreal is you'd think.)



TITLE: "Looking"
AUTHOR: Cathryn (catslash33@yahoo.com)
PAIRING(S): *takes a deep breath* Derek Jeter/Tino Martinez, Jorge Posada/Alex Rodriguez, implied Jeter/Rodriguez, implied Jeter/Posada, distantly implied Jeter/Nomar Garciaparra
RATING: PG-13 for RPS occurences
SUMMARY: Jorge is done watching.
NOTES: A follow-up of sorts to "Clown," but can also be read as a stand-alone fic.
DISCLAIMER: It's all fiction. Never happened, not currently happening, never will happen, implies nothing about any of the people mentioned. No libel to see here, folks, move it along.
