Stargate Atlantis Flashfiction

-title- Nine Springs
-author- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)
-warnings/ratings- Gen. Crossover with Shimpi no Sekai El-Hazard and most of Aoyama Gosho's works. Takes place in my pet asymptotic-to-canon AU.
-spoilers- Through third season, to be safe. Spoilers for... well, for somewhere in SG-1, but as it's something I learned through osmosis, I'm not sure where to judge it. Also, in case anyone cares, for the seventh OVA of El-Hazard, and for the first volumes of Meitantei Conan and Magic Kaito respectively. There are minor references to my Zophonisbeion stories "Miko and the Bears" and "The Sun Shines Bright On Every Stone."
-characters- Miko, OCs, two characters from El-Hazard, six from Meitantei Conan, two-and-a-half from Magic Kaito, and walk-on appearances from Rodney, Jinto, Wex, Sheppard, Teyla, and Terumi from "Watashi ni Uso o Tsuite."
-disclaimer- SGA, of course, is not mine. Nor is El-Hazard. If I were Aoyama, my pet MK threesome would be canon and at least somebody would have read Beatrice Gormley... i.e., not hardly. The idea of involving the Hope Diamond is from Ellen Brand (marsdejahthoris), who went on to do something utterly unique with it; "The world is large enough..." is from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and "As they have ever done" from J. R. R. Tolkien.
-word count- 6583
-summary- Miko, and background, and spackle.

( Kusanagi Miko has always known how to keep her own counsel. She comes by it honestly. )

-title- Born to Carry On: Tallit Ossaring
-author- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)
-warnings- Pre-industrial takes on age of consent and infant mortality. Not for those with hot buttons on either one. M/f sexual contact.
-timeframe- Preseries; set after an earlier story of mine, "Forever Young."
-spoilers- ...let us say through the end of the second season, to be safe (I don't think a name, devoid of context, should count as a spoiler).
-characters- Teyla, Halling, Charin, Jinto, Tagan, Sora, Kanaan, OCs
-disclaimer- SGA, of course, is not mine. The attitudes of the Athosians should not be taken as ones shared by the author. The Responsibility was inspired by that in Diane Duane's Tale of the Five; I considered renaming it, but could not think of a better way to phrase it, and while I think it makes a great deal of sense applied to Pegasus, I did not wish to obscure my sources. The Athosian's pre-Trev-Xenios attitudes towards foreigners were inspired by a story by miriel whose title I have forgotten and whose plot I cannot; Geron's alk story was inspired by this and by Arlo Guthrie's When Mooses Go Walking (sic), which I heard him recite on NPR the other day. The title of this work is drawn from a song called "And When I Die" by Laura Nyro, excellently sung by Peter, Paul, and Mary.
-word count- 4950
-summary- "You have been saying," Teyla said firmly if a little bluntly, "that you would like to be a father now, when the peak of your energy is upon you. I, in my turn, would prefer to fulfill my Responsibility as soon as may be, that it not hang over my head."

( I conceived what, in toto, would have been rather a long story; this first part consented to be completed in the alloted time. )

-title- Mother's Dinner
-author- Sophonisba (saphanibaal)
-warnings- Discussion of organ meats, things that some people may feel do not belong at the dinner table, and perhaps of things that do not belong in meatloaf.
-timeframe- Between "Thirty-Eight Minutes" and "Suspicion."
-spoilers- I don't think this has any.
-characters- Teyla, Sheppard, Ford, Rodney, Carson, Elizabeth, Stackhouse
-disclaimer- SGA, of course, is not mine. I take no responsibility for the nutritional value of any of the foods listed herein..
-word count- 792
-summary- With cultural interchange, there will be disjunction. Sometimes at mealtimes.

( Well, it would make sense.... )
