Four visits paid upon the Fallen.

Castiel, Sark (/Sydney). PG.
A crossover between Supernatural and Sark of Alias and 'Abide'-verse (reading that and 'Creatura' might be helpful, if not necessary).



No, vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.
- Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being



( Glance Off Paradise, Part I )

Sark wing!fic, requested by vyduan. Sequel to Abide.

Sark/Sydney. G. This son looks at this daughter.



You poured your spirit into me;
      I know you as I know myself.

Finally, sarkastic asked for a commentary of my angel!Sark ficlet, Abide.

( Abide w/commentary )

It all started with sarkastic's idea.

ETA: The 'verse is continued in 'Creatura' and 'Glance Off Paradise'.

Sark as a fallen angel. No, for real. PG. As above, so below. (Vague Sark/Sydney.)



I see, I seek;
I'm near.
Be true,
Skin.
- Theodore Roethke, 'O, Thou Opening, O'



( Abide )

Adam-as-Sark fic. You knew that I was going to write this, didn't you, from the moment that DA was cast?

Sark after Irina. PG.



I feel her presence in the common day,
In that slow dark that widens every eye.
- Theodore Roethke, 'She'



( Island Tongues )

For liminalliz, who requested Sark and gave me the prompt: 'The lady is a tramp.'

Sark and Peyton, post-finale. G. Sark learns from his mistakes.



She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's ok

Probably my favourite of everything that I've written. "Alive in the Wings" is a Firefly/Alias crossover which I wrote for sarkastic's awesome multi-fandom crossover ficathon last year. This time, the characters and fandoms were both at the writer's discretion, although each request came with a list of fandoms we could choose from. I was writing for miladygrey, who'd requested "someone being nuzzled, and a sparkly sequined article of clothing." rez_lo was my wonderful beta for this story; she grasped onto my idea immediately and made it shine.

This was the second story I'd written in the Firefly fandom. "Aetiology" was posted publicly at about the same time as "Alive in the Wings" because of ficathon requirements, but by that time this had already been finished for over a month. My first Firefly fic was also a River POV, "Uncensored", but I was never happy with it. I was experimenting with her voice, and I hadn't found it yet; instead what you got was my voice, my views on history and empire, coming out as River.

I've managed to lose the notebook which had my initial jottings about this story in it, so I can't remember how I decided on Firefly and on putting Irina of Alias onto the ship. I think I might have been at first just plain amused at the idea of calling her "The Passenger" all the way through, and making her an actual passenger. Anyway, it probably wasn't terrible interesting and you're better off not hearing about it.

First lot of drabbles for the character crossovers meme. It's funny. I seem to have forgotten how to use paragraph breaks. (I blame my interminable philosophy essays with their blasted 200-word paragraphs. Eyesight is starting to blur and I'm just not feeling very charitable towards the unit coordinators just now.) These have been re-edited to include paragraphs.
