PG-13; Person of Interest x Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, 3000 words.

Whatever John and his mom had done trying to stop the iteration where everything ended on April 21, 2011 had apparently rearranged the timeline enough for more than one competing AI to enter the picture...

Breaking Out of an Infinite Loop

(Linked @ wishlist_fic and AO3; written for sulien)

It occurred to me today that while I've been posting the exchange gifts I've written here this summer, I've entirely neglected to post the gifts I've received!

Here are my gifts from not_primetime and rarepairfest, and the remix written for one of my stories in circle_of_friends. All of them are well worth the read. :)

PG-13, Dresden Files/Person of Interest; 2500 words. Part 4 of Someone With The Skills to Intervene.

Elias eyed me with a faint, disapproving frown. "You must be the magical authorities, then. Some friends of mine suggested you might drop by. Though to tell you the truth, I expected you a little sooner."

PG-13, Person of Interest/Buffy: the Vampire Slayer; 1800 words. For Day 3 of 2014.

Reese's instincts hadn't been wrong: Buffy Summers was deadly poetry in motion.

Slayer of Interest: Part I

Slayer of Interest: Part II

(Linked @ wishlist_fic and AO3; written for kerrykhat)

PG-13/gen, Person of Interest x Riddick fusion; 1600 words. For Day 21 of 2013.

This would be an opponent to take down with a sniper rifle, from a distance; John wasn't keen on bleeding out before he could set up that shot.

Playing For Blood

PG-13, Dresden Files/Person of Interest; 1500 words. Part 3 of Someone With The Skills to Intervene.

The day Mr. Dresden appeared on the front steps of the Library, it had been more than a decade since my last overt involvement in the supernatural world.

PG-13; Person of Interest x Sleepy Hollow, 1000 words. Gen. For Day 1 of 2013.

A Headless Horseman? Really? This was the last time Lionel agreed to run errands for Glasses and his sidekick.

A Time and a Place for Kneecaps

(Linked @ wishlist_fic and AO3; written for moonbeamsfanfic)

PG; Person of Interest, 600 words. Machine-fic; gen. Fic #8 (and last) for Yuletide 2012.

The second best kept secret about the Machine is that ... it isn't one.

Something Indefinable, Springing

(Linked @ the AO3 Yuletide archive; written for ladysorka)

Life has been crazy the last couple of weeks what with my niece being born on the 23rd and now housesitting at a friend's house with no computer until Jan 3rd, so I'm not sure if I'll have time to read the rest of the Yuletide archive before reveals.

But I did make time to read my three gifts this year, and loved them all! No coal in my stocking, despite hitting the default list: writers, you rock! Here they are:

1. Where There's Life - Falling Skies, Anne Glass, gen

My pinch hitter took this request and ran with it, giving me 4.6k of fabulous Anne Glass backstory for the Falling Skies series, with incidental bonus backstory for Karen as well. I completely believed every word; this is my headcanon for the characters, now. Ended on a perfect note.

2. with coffee spoons - Person of Interest, Joss Carter and Lionel Fusco, gen

A delightful little story of Detectives Carter and Fusco building their partnership, framed around stakeouts and cups of coffee and conversational faux pas and commiserating about Finch & Reese. This could totally be canon, too.

3. Same Numbers, New Rules - Safe/Emberverse, Luke and Mei, gen

Not a fandom combination I'd expected, but the characters still came through as themselves in their altered setting. Very interesting; and I was very happy to receive fic for this movie.

On the writing side: I ended up writing eight fic (six regular, two Madness), for a total of seven fandoms and 14,200 words. Three of the fandoms are new to me; two are fandoms I haven't touched in years; and the sixth is not a pairing anyone would expect from me. But the seventh? I'd bet at least a couple of you will "aha!" at me on reveals day. =)

PG; Person of Interest/Avengers, 2000 words. For Day 4. Joss Carter + Natasha Romanova.

As a recruitment pitch, it wasn't the worst Joss had heard. Certainly less dramatic than the last one she'd received. Didn't mean she was all that enthused about it, though.
