At the moment, all I'm posting here on Dreamwidth are my completed longer fanfic, but here's a sticky post with links to the whole collection, including shorter stuff still on LJ.

All fic are listed in alphabetical order by fandom, with links in each fandom for crossover fic (which, as you're probably already aware, comprises about half my wordcount). The only exception is the Buffy/Angel-verse, which due to extreme volume has been moved to the bottom of the post.

Updated through December 19, 2011.

( Jedi Buttercup's Fic )

Title: Things We Trade For Freedom

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: R

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not.

Summary: When Ronon agreed to go with the Earthers after the Ancients claimed Altantis, he'd expected to end up fighting Ori soldiers, not taking a tour of Sheppard's country-- or stumbling into a first contact situation as strange as anything in Pegasus. Who is this woman who calls herself Faith? 26,000 words.

Warnings: Canon-typical violence, language, sexuality, and appearance of a misogynistic villain.

Notes: A B:tVS/Stargate Atlantis fic, starting from a slightly AU version of SGA 3.10 "The Return, Part I" and crossing over to an equally AU B:tVS 7.10/7.11 "Bring on the Night" and "Showtime" with elements of 7.18 "Dirty Girls". Some dialogue borrowed from relevant episodes. A few Latin words also included, as a stand-in for presumably Ancient-descended Satedan, plus several pop culture references.

Acknowledgements: Written for kayleyangel's request: Ronon meets up with Faith in Sunnydale before the First makes his move. Submitted as part of the 2011 Journey Story Big Bang challenge. Many thanks to ningloreth for such fabulous work as my artist, and to dhark_charlotte and sulien77 for volunteering to beta. You guys rock!

Title: Voices Like Thunder

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-15/M
Disclaimer: The words are mine; the world is not.

Summary: "And I heard a voice like the noise of thunder..." (Life after the Apocalypse, Slayer Style, among the Massachusetts Militia). 19,300 words.

Warnings: Some violence; post-apocalyptic setting; off-screen traumatic death of an OC.

Notes: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Falling Skies crossover, set after the Season 8 comics and the Season 1 finale, with spoilers for both. Contains canon-typical violence, injury, OC Slayers, low-key Buffy/Kennedy femslash, and the canonical survivors of the Second Massachusetts Militia Regiment, among them: angsty kids, foul mouthed soldiers, misogynistic gun nuts, and one very determined ex-professor.

Acknowledgements: To sulien77 for being a huge encouragement, kerravonsen for advice on the artwork, and everyone else who read and commented along the way. Written in parts for the 2011 TwistedShorts Fic-a-Thon.

Title: Here For You (The Time and Again Remix)

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not.

Summary: When Tess Fontana made the last-minute decision to surprise her old roommate on her wedding day, she hadn't expected to end up playing a starring role in her own romantic drama. But sometimes the universe does things for strange reasons-- especially in a town called Eureka. 30,000 words.

Warnings: Adults behaving like adults; occasional saccharine moments.

Notes: This is an AU remix/fixit for the early third season episode, "I Do Over". Minimal dialogue borrowed from the episode, and from other episodes later in Season 3.

Acknowledgements: Written for the 2010 Small Fandom Big Bang. Much love to maevebran for her support, and for dragging me into this 'verse; and to revdorothyl, for her incisive last-minute beta services.

Title: No Place Like Eureka

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the world is not.

Summary: "Nathan-- this is your daughter, Dawn. Dawn Michelle Stark. You remember her, don't you?" (Or, an Alternate History of the Key). 21,300 words.

Notes: A B:tVS/Eureka crossover alternate universe and quasi-fixit fic. First in a probable series. Specific spoilers for B:tVS "No Place Like Home" (5.5) and "Blood Ties" (5.13); and for Eureka "Right as Raynes" (1.8), "Once in a Lifetime" (1.12), "I Do Over" (3.4), "Ship Happens" (3.14), and "Shower the People" (3.15). Mostly gen, though het and femslash implications crop up in the last part (not Dawn).

Title: The Soul Job

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-15

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not.

Summary: It's been a long time since Lindsey McDonald and Eliot Spencer went their separate ways... but if ever a man was in need of the leverage their team could apply, it was Eliot's brother. 25,000 words.

Warnings: Language, and mentions of adult behavior.

Notes: Angel/Leverage crossover (and my first major work for Leverage; be gentle, please!) Set during 5.8 "Destiny" for Angel and post-2.9 "The Lost Heir Job" for Leverage. Dates given for Lindsey and/or Eliot are based on actor Christian Kane's actual age, and the assumption that this takes place during the canonical time setting for Angel.

Acknowledgements: To my beta, maevebran, for general awesomeness and for introducing me to Leverage in the first place; and my artist, lyl_devil, for her fabulous artwork!

( The Soul Job )

Title: As Sparks Fly Upward

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-15

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the world is not.

Summary: A few months after the destruction of Vulcan, Captain Kirk accepts an unorthodox mission from Starfleet Intelligence that involves an incognito mission across the Neutral Zone to investigate rumors of kidnapped scientists. 28,700 words.

Warnings: Some violence; suggestion of past torture/rape of third parties.

Notes: ST:XI team-fic, slightly AU, from Kirk's POV with background canon pairing. Can be read with only that much Star Trek knowledge, but also includes plot/character details from several TOS episodes (including "The Conscience of the King" and "The Enterprise Incident") and authorized novels (especially "The Pandora Principle", "My Enemy, My Ally" and "Star Trek Academy: Collision Course"). NOT related to my missing scene fics.

Acknowledgements: To

avamclean, for beta work and hand-holding;

Title: An Unexpected Gift

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the world is not.

Summary: A certain package meant for Angel ends up on Daniel Jackson's desk instead.. 9,100 words.

Spoilers: B:tVS post-"Chosen", AU of Angel 5.1 "Conviction", Stargate SG-1 through 7.12 "Evolution Part II".

Notes: Angel received a certain envelope in October of 2003, according to US airdates; that falls between the airing of the two halves of "Evolution" in Season 7 for Stargate SG-1. Also references SG-1 3.21, "Crystal Skull"; 3.04 "Legacy"; 2.20 "Show and Tell"; and 6.20 "Memento". The poem Spike quotes part of is "Phoebus Arise," by William Drummond (1854-1907).

Title: The Independent Groom

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the world is not.

Summary: "Malcolm Reynolds was raised on a small ranch on the planet Shadow. His favorite pastimes were riding his horse and tormenting one of the indentured boys that worked there. The boy's name was Jayne, but Mal never called him that.". ~10,000 words.

Spoilers: Slightly AU and pre-series for Firefly. Plot borrowed heavily from "The Princess Bride".

Notes: Contains mild slash and Chinese dialogue; tooltip translations provided. Written for vandonovan in the 2006 shinyhearts ficathon (theme: pick a "classic" love story and write it with our Big Damn Heroes.)

( The Independent Groom )

Title: Eclipse

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the world is not.

Summary: The team steps through the Gate onto a world with three suns. ~14,000 words.

Spoilers: Set in Stargate SG-1 early Season 7; Scenery from "Pitch Black" (2000).

Notes: Contains Sci-fi violence and some main-character whump. Written for the 2006 multific finishathon, as yet another of my attempts at plausibly welding dissimilar universes together. That unfortunately means no Riddick in the main story; he won't be born until several hundred years after the Team has lived and died.

Title: The Five Stages of Grief

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: All your Angel are belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, & Etc.

Summary: The legends rise; the heroes fall. Of course, there's more to the story than that. ~14,000 words.

Spoilers: Set during, and fix-it fic for, the series finale of Angel -- 5.22 "Not Fade Away".

Notes: I started this story the day after "Not Fade Away" aired, in shock from the way it all ended. I know everyone and their sister wrote "fix it" stories for the end of the series, but I just had to throw in my own two pence.
