3Ships reveal! I wrote a Leverage story for 7Iris, and had a blast doing it. Thank you to Zvi for organizing it.

Title: A Casual, Easy Thing (Link goes to AO3 version)
Author: Rachael Sabotini (wickedwords)
Fandoms: Leverage
Pairing: Parker/Hardison/Spencer
Summary: "You conferenced my freak out?"
Written for 7Iris in 3_ships 2009, Prompt: Confidence

A/N: Many thanks to Sherrold, sabaceanbabe and Movies_Michelle for their fabulous beta work. I had a blast writing this, and if you get a chance to write for 3Ships next year, you should do it. Also, if you have thoughts on any tags I should add to my story on AO3, let me know!

(  A Casual, Easy Thing  )

I did it! I uploaded all of my stories from this year to AO3, as there weren't that many of them.

My full listing is at:
http://archiveofourown.org/users/wickedwords/pseuds/Rachael%20Sabotini

This Side of the Mountain
My mcshep_match story for this year, a fusion with World War Z

Steal Some Covers
My Leverage/Highlander crossover PWP, which is all about Amanda/Parker fun

Since I count the yuletide stories as part of the writing year that the reveal happened, I also posted my yuletide/sga santa stories:

Maid of Awesome
My The Middleman pinch hit from yuletide 2008, a short Wendy/The Middleman snippet.

Patrick and the Flim-Flam Man
My A Dog's Breakfast/Stargate Atlantis AU from yuletide, 2008. Patrick/John

Zelenka's Feast
Another Stargate Atlantis AU, witten for SGA Santa 2008. Lorne/Zelenka is the primary pairing, with a background McKay/Sheppard, and possible Carter/Mitchell.

And a bonus:

Trees are Tricky Things
Yet another A Dog's Breakfast story, this one written as a pinch hit for yuletide 2007. Again, Patrick/John Sheppard AU.

*whew* They might not all be on my personal archive, but at least they're all archived someplace now.

Title: Zelenka's Feast
Author: Rachael Sabotini (wickedwords)
Main Pairing: Lorne/Zelenka. Includes other background relationships, and some characters from SG-1.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Catering by the Kitchen Physicists.

Author's Note: I fell down on the job and didn't post any stories after the reveal last December, so I'm trying to catch up. This was written for the 2008 sga_santa challenge. I'm not sure why I decided to go with crackfic this year; I think I just wanted to do something different. So gblvr, thank you so much for putting up with my experimentation, and for letting me make Zelenka a little more insecure than canon would support. Many thanks to sherrold and elynross, my 'go to girls' for beta duty. All remaining errors are my own, and if you spot something, email me in private, so I can clean it up.

Author: Rachael Sabotini (wickedwords)
Other Info: A series of three interconnected vignettes:

Timing: Chuck

Temerity: Lorne/Zelenka

Tupperware: John&Rodney
Summary: A Day on Atlantis

A/N: This wasn't exactly what I started out to write. Initially, this was supposed to be 5 different drabbles, posted at the end of summer, but instead all the prompts were merged into a single set of three snapshot vignettes. As a whole, this got a lot longer than I expected, and I had to take liberties with some of the prompts. So much thanks to wordwitch, gblvr, indybaggins, wyomingnot, and losyarc for their suggestions, and I hope you enjoy this. Sorry I was so late getting it done. Special thanks to sherrold for her beta help. Full prompts are listed here.

Title: Beast of Burden (link goes to mcshep_match community)
Author: Rachael Sabotini (wickedwords)
Other info: McKay/Sheppard | PG-13 | 4280 words
Summary: Rodney was reeducated, given a good job far from the capital city.

A/N: I know I am late to the reveal again, but I wrote "Beast of Burden" for 2008's mcshep_match. I love the challenge--I think I do some of my best work with fixed prompts and formats--and I really like the way the story turned out. It wasn't what I had started with, as my first idea was to do a John POV, but that story would have fit better with the home team, so I had to revamp things to make it fit with being on the "away team".

Along the way, I picked up inspiration from three different songs:

Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone"
Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge"
U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name"

You can probably pick out which song I was listening to as you read along.

Thanks to the team of sherrold, blueraccoon, quasar273 and ldyanne for beta duty. All remaining typos and plot holes are my own.

Thank goodness I signed up for remixredux08 and the assignments haven't gone out yet, as that is the only thing that has propelled me to get my website current. I just finished updating it with all of the stories that I have posted since December.

Heroes
Company Town
81k | 12/2007 | Matt/Mohinder and Molly | AU, Romance, Angst
Prime Valley is a backwater cow town, over two hours by skimmer from the nearest spaceport.

Gormenghast
Even the Roses
22k | 01/2008 | Adult, Mature subjects | Fuschia/Steerpike
Anything is possible right now, with the sack in her hand and her dreams on the horizon, and there's a part of her that doesn't want to open it, to know what the sack actually contains.

Quantum Leap
Trickle-Down Effect
5k | 01/2008 | Gushie POV, Futurefic | PG
Gushie waited.

Alunt Tea
7K | 01/2008 | PG-13 | Gen | Teyla, team
It's been a long day, and even Teyla is losing her patience.

The Way It Works
30K | 12/2007 | NC-17 | H/c, angst | Lorne/Zelenka
The silence felt strained, and all Evan could think about was the way his hands itched to go over there and feel Radek's body pressed against his, the way it had been in their cell.

Jeez, even given that Diplomacy was written in 2006, that's still a lot of fiction...maybe I should think about doing sgabigbang

Title: Alunt Tea
Author: Rachael Sabotini (wickedwords)
Other info: SGA | Teyla | PG | 1000 words
Spoilers through 4.07, "Missing"
Summary: It's been a long day, and even Teyla is losing her patience.

A/N: This was written for the 2008 picfor1000 challenge. The prompt photo used is behind the cut. Thank you so much to elynross and sherrold for their beta skills. All remaining typos are my own.

Title: Trickle-Down Effect
Author: Rachael Sabotini (wickedwords)
Other info: Quantum Leap | Gushie POV, Futurefic | PG | 660 words
Summary: Gushie waited.

A/N: Thank you to isiscolo for the '2 minutes before deadline' last minute beta; any misspellings or tense changes are all on my own. Written for ionlylurkhere in the yuletide 2007 story exchange who wanted "Something set after the end of the series, when Sam is leaping in his own body. Maybe the reaction of the people on the Project to his body's disappearance from the waiting room?" There's no way I could let that one go.
