I've thought in gigantic multicrossovers for rather longer than I've been on livejournal, and somehow or another, they always wind up talking to one another (indeed, the Melioranda-verse has turned out four-petalled, and my own pet Zophonisbeion mostly an extended AU for the Melioranda in Oriente). Which tends to make some of the stories more than a little opaque; and I've never been entirely sure how to fix that.

I bring this up only to introduce one of my stories -- one that, somehow or another, inexplicably never made it onto my website -- which, while I hope and trust that it remains comprehensible without its context, is nevertheless rather firmly woven into the pattern of my larger story.

-title- Puruussashanji (plus ça change) ~ The More Things Change ~
-authorial credit- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)
-fandom- Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing; implied others
-category- Drama; background crossover
-timeline- During Episodes 31 and 32
-pairings- Nothing specific, although there are Implications implicating themselves all over the place
-notes- This story was previously posted to the Gundam Wing Addiction BBS, which at this time is currently down for maintenance. Contains numerous literary and popular allusions, the less obvious of which are noted at the end.
-summary- Vignettes from one of the more allegro movements of Relena (Darlian) Peacecraft's adolescent apocalypse; your youth is when you define these things for yourself.

( You who are on the road / Must have a code / That you can live by; / And so become yourself... )

I'm working on five or six things for sga_flashfic's current challenge, so naturally this is exactly the time when I should finally get around to updating a) my website and b) my "scorecard" for keeping track of most of the fics in my pet asymptotic-to-canon Stargate-and-others AU.

Here it is, albeit still under ongoing construction.

I hope this is a little more intuitive than the old one. ^_^

-title- Masquerade
-author- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)
-warnings- None, really. Gen.
-characters- Ford, Sheppard, McKay, Teyla
-disclaimer- I own no part of Stargate: Atlantis. Nor of Star Wars or The Chronicles of Narnia or Back To The Future, for that matter. One of Teyla's lines was inspired by one of Delenn's in Eyrie Productions' Symphony of the Sword -- the second symphony, IIRC.
-notes- A slightly altered version of this story was earlier posted to sga_flashfic. It may be easier to follow if you have heard of the Society for Creative Anachronism.
-summary- The most important part of any masquerade: planning one's costume.

( I could absolutely see John as a member of the Barony of the Southern Wastes. )

-title- Bone-Deep
-author- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)
-warnings- Guys being Not Helpful. Er. Very nearly gen, with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it pairing (Teyla/Kate). Mention of past abuse of non-canon character.
-notes- A slightly different version of this, most of which can be seen in "Far and Far From Land," took place in my pet asymptotic-to-canon AU; this is what happened in the diverging-from-canon series that is part of said AU's... well, backstory.
-timeframe- missing scene for "The Gift"
-characters- Teyla, Rodney, Sheppard, Ford
-disclaimer- SGA, of course, is not mine.
-word count- 1962
-summary- Teyla is scarred. Her teammates mean well.

( It was in her, tainting everything she'd ever touched. )

I wrote this Unbelievably Wrong Christmasfic a few years ago, and I thought today was an appropriate day to repost it.

-title- Nor In Heaven Above
-authorial credit- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)
-fandom- Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing
-category- Vignette, humor
-timeline- Post-EW
-pairings- N/A
-warnings- May not be suitable for those unable to endure humor concerning the first third of the second chapter of the good news according to Luke.

( This reunion idea of Winner's, while good in principle, had faltered on the reality of five young men who really didn't have much else in common. )

Given that I keep saying "I'll put it up on the website, I'll put it up on the website," and then I don't, I figure I might as well post a chronological link list for what there is of my asymptotic-to-canon SGA-and-others AU.

( list )

ETA: Has now been replaced by the new scorecard.

I tweaked one of the stories I wrote earlier -- added a scene from another story that fit there better, altered a few lines to bring it more in line with the ficton as it had developed, etc.

Far and Far From Land
-setting- AU more or less tracking canon from the beginning of first season, ending before "The Return" would have happened. Gen.
-spoilers- "Letters from Pegasus," "The Gift," "Duet," "Instinct," "Grace Under Pressure," "Irresistible"; also a mention of the character Loki from Stargate SG-1.
-word count- 14,289.
-summary- Legends, secrets, and a city on the sea; living with passing for a given value of normal.

-title- Amara (1/5)
-rating/warnings- Suitable for general audiences. This is a modified form of part of the "Amara (1/3)" earlier posted to sga_flashfic.
-spoilers- "Hide and Seek," "38 Minutes."
-characters- Ford, Sheppard, Rodney, Teyla, Miko
-disclaimer- SGA, of course, is not mine.

( The first time they visited Amara, and its fallout upon their return. )
