sans peur et sans reproche--by frostfire

Title: Sans Peur et Sans Reproche
Author: Frostfire
Word count: 1217
Notes: John-centric, slightly AU. As this is the darkfic challenge, one may expect darkness. Sort of vaguely references SG-1 season 9, with spoilers for 9x07. Set around The Tower, The Long Goodbye, in there. Thanks to synecdochic and thecomfychair for audiencing and synecdochic also for coming up with a title so I didn't have to at 2 AM; realistically, she probably came up with half the idea, too. Power to the hive mind.

Survival Is The First Imperative by miera

[miera-c.livejournal.com]

Title: Survival Is The First Imperative
Challenge: Dark Side
Author: miera
Date: July 20, 2006
Rating: R for suggested violence and some language
Status: WIP - this is part 1
Pairings: gen with background Emmagan/Lorne, Beckett/Heightmeyer
Main characters: Weir, Sheppard, McKay, Dex, Emmagan, Lorne, Beckett and Heightmeyer
Summary: Three years after being kidnapped and sold as a slave, Elizabeth Weir returns to her people.
Warnings: character deaths, implied violence and non-consensual sex
Beta: none. All mistakes mine.
Spoilers: none
Disclaimer: The boys and girls of "Stargate: Atlantis" belong to a lot of people who are not me. No harm intended, just some not-for-profit fun.
Feedback: Is like peanut butter and chocolate together.

Author's Notes: I began working on this idea some time ago (which is why this is almost 9K words), and having struggled with it for the past week for the challenge, I know now that to fully tell the story in my head is going to take multiple parts that will be just as long as this is. I believe this first part holds together sufficiently to be posted on its own, and hopefully posting it will spur me to work on the rest.

Better to Reign by Liondragon [PG]

[shusu.livejournal.com]

PG for dark themes; gen future; +SG-1. ( Other warnings )

I strongly discourage spoilers in comments, or at the least, unlabeled spoilers; this fic is pure speculation and is spoiler-free.
This is a remake of a quick-fic of mine (found at the bottom). It was not beta'd due to limited computer time.

Summary: "It's Atlantis." "Keep the iris up."
