Warnings: None
Summary: Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. Rodney finds that relationships are a lot like that, too.
Notes: Written for the 2009 mcshep_match's Team Peace, with the prompt: piece of the action. With thanks to shutterbug_12 for the insightful beta, and to hobbit_feets for the hand-holding and porn-hotness-checking.

Baby's first Who fic! I was getting annoyed with my brain's refusal to write anything of subtance lately so I decided to sit down and bash this out. It's, um. It's debatable if this could be termed subtance, but: Dalek Caan! ♥

Written for the Happyfest III prompt: Doctor Who ; Dalek Caan ; Cake. So obviously I had to write it and, you know, this be crack.

With oodles of thanks and love to hobbit_feets, euclase, and shutterbug_12 [who braved the scary sci-fi for me!] for the fantastic beta. I go all-out for crack fic, man.

First of the commentfic for those who voted for Team Peace. I, uh, totally blew the character-limit of a comment but whatever. More commentfic and prison fic to come, probably tomorrow.

For shutterbug_12, who wanted: Barney loses his voice, and must employ alternative methods of picking up women. Appearances by the whole gang would be awesome. (Pre-Barney/Robin.)

Signed up for Team Peace on mcshep_match. Sign ups still currently open here. (And peeking at the sign up lists, several of you seem to be my new competitors. Hi, other team! *waggles fingers*) I'm just jumping head-first into this whole fandom partcipation thing lately. Whew.


I've also started to do the thing where I want to write everything but what I'm suppose to be writing. But this time it's totally worth it, I swear; it makes up for my lack of attention span, oh yes. As I pitched it to shutterbug_12:

earlwyn: i have 1000 words of an sga au that is not my big bang
earlwyn: nor the thing about rodney being a genie
earlwyn: which i will totally write, btw
shutterbug_12: that was my next question
earlwyn: it's john and rodney in STATESVILLE
shutterbug_12: I don't know this Statesville place.
earlwyn: joliet state prison?
shutterbug_12: Not ringing any bells.
earlwyn: like, the scariest maximum security prison in the us?
shutterbug_12: Nope, but I believe you.
earlwyn: whatev. john and rodney meet in prison. it's going to be awesome.

( And The Truth Shall Set You Free )

So the yuletide reveal came and went while I was in England and I didn't get a chance to fess-up to which fics were mine. This year I managed to write two fics, one for my assigned recipient and then a Yuletide Treat on top of that. I still need to reply to comments -- but one thing at a time, right?

Written for ariastar in the yuletide 2008 challenge
