Fic Detail Meme

[jedibuttercup]

As a reward for saying such lovely things to me yesterday, another meme! This one via kerrykhat:

Give me a link to one of my fics or WIPs, and I'll give you details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

No promises I'll answer specific questions if you pick a WIP, but: Fic Indexed by Fandom (DW) or Works List (AO3).

The problem with Edge of a Knife is that in order to write the next part, I have to figure out exactly how the original Quest went wrong, in order to have Illyria and Wes in position to fix it, LOL. Bit off a lot to chew with that one. Best part about having Lyri there still bound to human shape, though, is that even if people notice she's off they'll just think she's like Gandalf, if they think about it at all! The hard work of living in that time will be good for Wesley, though; get him out of his head some, get him into company with a new tribe of people that know nothing about his past (I must admit to some glee at the image of eventual Ranger!Wes).

... And way, waaaay in the future after everything is fixed, well, they can't stay in Middle-earth forever, and I don't want to kill them, so. I think they'll have a conversation with someone who's had a chat with Someone who knows what's going on, and then a boat ride.

With Walk No More In Shadow, I think I just fell in love with the Faramir!Daniel idea, and the thought that waking that in him and reuniting him with Éowyn!Buffy might wear off some of his war-weariness a la post-recovery in Gondor and also do the same for her. I can picture writing fluffy interludes with them, but plot? I honestly don't know where I'd go next with it.

When I get back to this one, I think it'll have to be Rodney's POV instead of Sheppard's. Because the discovery worldsetting fic had to be done from the POV of the one who'd been in both worlds and thus could make the connections, but the wonder of Elves appearing in the modern world and surprise! filling in gaps in the known history of the Ancients would be kind of lost on Aewil!John. There would at some point be going back to Pegasus and Elladan and Elrohir going with them and probably other members of Tolkien races, and defeating of the Wraith, but that's all very vague in my head at the moment. It will require more thought.

Since you prompted me on the Dawn!fic, though, I suddenly know exactly how the Ancients that lived in the city charged their ZPMs and why no one can ever find the production facility that made them! *dances* So, yeah. I think I may have to connect those two fic soon with a "what happens when Dawn sets foot in Atlantis" story.

Thank you answering all of those, I had intended for you to only answer one; not that I'm complaining, mind you! And may I say that I am right there with you anticipating Ranger!Wes? Actually, that future conversation and boat ride would actually be the perfect capstone to the series, since anyone who gets the crossover knows how things turn out in the past eventually anyway.
