You All Have Failed Me!!

itsallovernowOkay, so technically, that's NEVER true. However, you all neglected to mention that when tagging, I could tag these entries as anything I wanted and that it was going to be easy!!! I don't know that I'll ever completely finish the process, but I'm at least going to make an attempt and I'm sort of giddy at the things I can tag the posts as: Screaming Eels, Life with M, Shameless Pimping. Mmmmm, categories.
Today is the day I go to fight the man. Actually, today is the day I go and beg the traffic court to forgive me for my rebellion and not make me pay the sum total of 11000% more than the ticket started out as. We shall see what happens. The prospect of going downtown to do this fills me with utter dread, but I have righteous indignation (if not actual justice) on my side. Plus, I'm dressed like a grownup and I'm not afraid to beg.

crankygrrl played along with the meme and gave me three prompts she didn't think I'd write:
Veronica/Logan Babyfic
Law School is what she's been looking for most of her life, and if Lynn would stop crying, Veronica might actually be able to pass her exams, pass the bar and get them out of this miserable freaking apartment.
Logan walks her up and down, but the kid wants her mother, can feel the tension in the air between her parents and her cry is wrenching, deliberate.
Veronica closes her book, gets up and takes the baby from Logan who shifts on his heels and says, "I think we need, um..." he can't come up with anything appropriate, and just hightails it out the door. He'll probably just walk down to Rite Aid, wander the aisles until she's too tired to fight and Lynn's tired enough to sleep but it still pisses Veronica off.
She's in bed when he gets back, half asleep with Lynn's warm little body curled against her shoulder and the law review open on her knees. He crawls into bed with her, kissing her neck, lingering over the baby and might say sorry before he presses his back to her side and falls asleep.
Kara/Lee Happily Ever After Future Fic
Not many people have the president of the colonies serve as godparent, but the Adama family has always been special to her. (She'll never say to Lee, to Kara, to the beautiful boy they hold between them that she'd trade them both away in a heartbeat for Bill. Not because it's unkind, or unfair, but because they need young life more than old, and she's president first. Always.)
"You've made the ultimate sacrifices for your species," she says, and kisses Kara on the cheek. Lee looks at his wife with unhealthy need, and Kara clutches their son like he's everything in the universe and Laura hopes that the boy manages not to disappoint either of them.
Cam/Sam Romance
This isn't really how he thought he'd fall in love, over paperwork and misunderstandings, technical jargon and too much coffee.
She's blond, and that's not a surprise, but she's smarter than he is, and military and is never gonna be one of those base wives who stay home with a passle of kids. For one thing, their lives are too uncertain to really contemplate kids and he can't see either one of them making the career sacrifice. (He has these crazy fantasies sometimes of Teal'c or Vala or Jackson playing nanny and the send him into paroxisms of laughter during briefings that he just can't explain, and he'll see Sam blush and never tells her that he's not thinking dirty, happy sex thoughts because she gets less embarrassed by that then by the kid fantasy).
No kids now, but maybe someday, when his knees say not a chance in hell, when he's got his own gold stars. For now, Cam's finally realized that all these little things mean love, these tiny gestures, common courtesies. He brings her coffee in an unspillable thermos. She makes sure that laundry day is more often than once every three months. They both make sure that there's clean oil in the garage, and a good wrench always at their disposal.
They see friends, they fight the good fight, they have someone warm to come home to, and if it's not what he imagined, it's proving more than enough.
And thenkernezelda piped in with:
Scorpius is the father of Grayza's baby!
She stopped being fastidious about the species of her partners once the gland was put in. It made no sense to have contaminated her very DNA and not investigate it's effects on those beyond the Sebacean genetic line.
She's the break that makes the rule - genetic purity, and the most powerful members of the Peacekeeper elite are the one's who've made it beyond those narrow boundaries and definitions.
When she allies with Scorpius, when she tests her wiles, her manipulation on him (a master manipulator, but far too short sited), she is moderately pleased with his sexual prowess. His power is an aphrodisiac, but his skin is uncomfortable, too warm, even regulated and she finishes their sex feel vaguely ill. Discovering that she's preganant does not displease her, and for all that she worries for the physical characteristics of the child, there are surgeons to alter the most heinous of traits, and the child will understand, fundamentally, what it means to have power, how to strive, how to overcome and win.
These are qualities worth contamination, worthy of her manipulations, and choosing another high ranking Sebacean to play surrogate to this child is just another in a string of steps that will put her firmly within the grasp of the peace and power she deserves.
This also lead to Cranky's own story Grayza/Scorpy.
Frankly, I'm surprised that there weren't other, more outrageous snippet challenges:) But I've certainly been enjoying everyone else's crack:)
