New fic by sgamadison "Overheard across the Multi-Verse"

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

I am a bit disappointed with myself because I was over-committed for the months leading up to this fest, and I ran out of time to finish the story I was working on. There have been so many fabulous entries to this fest, I didn't want to drop out, so I have a few drabbles for your consideration. They are a series of conversations and scenes from across the space-time continuum: some canon, some AU, some future fic. Hope you enjoy them!






Wait, what? You’re talking to me?

Well, yeah.

You’ve noticed I’m a dragon, right?

A very big dragon in a very small room that’s been chained to the wall. And there’s a golden key hanging above your head. I’m thinking you’re no ordinary dragon.

I’m not really at liberty to say.

Thought as much. So, I’m thinking you give me a lift up to that key and I let you go. And then you and me, maybe we go take over the world.

After lunch.

Goes without saying.

I’m glad I didn’t eat you.

Me too. So, help me up?



It never fails. No sooner do the Christmas decorations come down then we get inundated with commercials for internet dating sites, jewelry, and condoms.

At least the good chocolate is on sale.

That is the only good thing about this time of year. You did pick up some, right?

And some condoms. Aw, you’re so cute when you blush.

Keep it up and you’re not getting any.

So, you hate the holiday?

Holiday? It’s a made up excuse to sell flowers, designed to play on people’s insecurities.

So, no flowers. How about this?

Is that a ring? For me?

Yeah.



Hey. I heard you almost lost someone in the field today. Um, Kirkland, no Kirby.

Yeah. Pretty intense.

Are you okay?

Of course, I’m okay, Rodney. Jeeze. What do you think I am, made of glass?

What happened?

Yeah, make yourself at home, why don’t you?

Thanks. Say, you’re almost out of beer.

I wonder why.

So what happened?

Dr. Kirby had an anaphylactic reaction to some plant. Blew up, throat closed down, the whole nine yards.

Holy crap! What did you do?

Well… I had an epi pen. So I used it.

You had a pen?

Well, sure. Always.




A sound emanated from the large gilt box with the red bow. Rodney, a Santa hat perched crookedly on the side of his head, was wearing a slightly nervous grin. Like a Wicked Elf who wasn’t sure that his surprise was a Bad Idea.

“It’s moving! Stay here, McKay!” John barked. “I’ll get my blaster.”

“No!” Rodney ran at him, hands waving. “It’s a gift, you moron!”

Later, when the Lab puppy was nestled against his chest, and John was marveling at the perfection of his tiny toes and footpads, he looked up at Rodney and smiled.

Best. Gift. Ever.




It will be fun.

That’s what you said about the snowboarding.

Well, that was fun. Out on the slopes all day, great meals at night, hot tubs…

I broke my arm.

Okay, but until that point, we were having fun.

No. Stop whining. It doesn’t become you.

I don’t whine. C’mon Rodney. Horses, the wide open skies, working up a hearty appetite…

I don’t want to go to a dude ranch.

Two words for you: Leather. Chaps.

Okay, now you have my attention. And?

Um, I’ll let you tie me up.

Where is that brochure again? Let me see that.

LOL! I love these conversations! Easy to follow along because the boys are very recognizable and in character. Fun!

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! Thank you! I was a bit worried--drabbles aren't something I've spent a lot of time doing, but I liked the challenge of sticking to just a 100 words. :-)

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I think you did a great job with the format. It's a nice way to take a break from unending fics and WIPs.

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

That's a very nice way of looking at it! :-)

[danceswithgary]

Oh, I love them all! :-D

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you!

[margec01.livejournal.com]

Oh I really like them all, but especially the epipen one. Love is caring.

And see, you CAN write short things! (But please don't do it TOO often. ;-D)

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The epi pen one is proving to be a favorite!

And see, you CAN write short things! (But please don't do it TOO often. ;-D)

That was my reaction, too! :-)

Those were grand fun! I love that we know our guys so well it takes so little to paint a universe (or plot).

If you should finish your original idea, let me know and I'll add it to the masterlist.

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Thank you! If I get that story finished, I'll let you know!

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

Adorable!
Especially the Lab puppy. ::grin::

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Thank you! I was a bit partial to that one myself! (Their little feet are so adorable!)

[tarlanx]

Lovely set :D

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

These are wonderful! And the thing I love about them the most is the feel of being a part of something larger, each a snippet of how they end up together or how they are together, and there is not question that the end result would be any different in any 'verse :)

They are so themselves in each bit too! The last one has to be my favourite just because of the leather chaps, and because I could so see that discussion really take place. (I heard it in my head!) The last line is a killer! :D

I think you did just wonderfully, given that RL can be a pain sometimes. Thank you for writing and sharing these! ^_^

Oh YAY! Because that's what I was going for--thank you! You made my day. :-)

Lovely glimpses into their lives!

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! I don't have much practice writing drabbles, but now I can appreciate the complexity of the story they can tell. :-)
