stories in progress and stories hopefully to, you know, sometime be in progress
1. Bloody Sunday. CSI:NY, Bardverse. Shades of gray, blurred lines. The NYPD Crime Lab never has known when too far is too far.
I am very tentatively considering rewriting this now that I have a better idea of the outcome and have improved a lot as a writer, but I'm still very tentative because I don't actually have a plot.
2. The Man Who Wasn't There. CSI:NY, Bardverse. Five years after Bloody Sunday, Danny and the NYPD Crime Lab come back into each other's lives.
"He used to be a nice guy," Aiden had said one night over drinks at Sullivan's, looking morosely down at her vodka tonic.
"You're kidding me," Lindsay'd replied. "Detective Flack? Really? What happened?" He'd just been called up on his third police brutality charge in nine months, that was what had happened, but Aiden obviously meant something earlier.
Aiden looked down with a sardonic twist to her smile. "Danny Messer," she said, eyes as bitter as Detective Flack's. "That's what happened."
3. A Thin Blue Line. CSI:NY, Season X. OCD and CSU team up again to bring Tony Taccetta's gang down for good, and this time Danny Messer's caught in the middle.
"You're my good boy, Danny," Tony said, stepping forward, curling his fingers around Danny's jaw. "You tell these mooks why."
Danny swallowed. "Last three jobs we got been busted," he said. "With the other two, that makes it five over the past nine months." Ever since you brought me in, he didn't add.
"That's right," Tony said, reaching behind him with his free hand. Migs put a gun in it.
4. Winter City. CSI:NY, AU. There are some lines you just can't cross and some lines that exist to be broken.
Bits of this have been posted on this journal before, a while ago, and I was looking at them and going hey, I like this. So I think I might be tackling it again. Uh, this is one of the superhero stories, the darker one.
5. Chekhov's Gun. CSI:NY, AU off "Snow Day." Where the mobsters take Flack up on his offer and he ends up with a very badly hurt Danny inside the warehouse.
"Here's what we'll do, cop. You take off your vest and your gun and put 'em down. Same with your phone."
"All right," Flack said, dry-mouthed, undoing the strap on his holster with one hand. He slid his gun out and put it on the hood of his blue-and-white, added his cell phone. He had to put the radio down to get his vest off. "Now what?"
"You walk in, he walks out."
6. On the Other Side of the Looking Glass. CSI:NY, sequel to Still Life. Lindsay has to deal with the repercussions of her knowledge.
7. The Last Open Door. Space: Above and Beyond, post-"Tell Our Moms We Done Our Best." Sometimes Fate leads you in strange directions.
He and Cooper eat dinner in a smalltown diner, moaning a little around food that isn't freeze-dried or transported thirty light-years through space. Just as they're finishing up dessert -- real pie, with real fruit and real sugar -- a woman wearing jeans and a "Pull Our Troops Out of Space Now" t-shirt flounces up to them.
"Is it true that the U.S. purposefully sabotaged the peace talks with the extraterrestrials?" she demands.
"The what?" Cooper says blankly, hastily swallowing.
"Of course not!" Nathan snarls.
8. Lazarus. Pirates of the Caribbean/Supernatural. Two hundred years of hunting can make anyone dangerous.
9. Top-secret
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
apocalyptothon story. Alas, I cannot speak of it.10. Roll the Dice and Lose the Gamble. Numb3rs, post-"The Janus List." Colby's been on too many sides to be sure who he is anymore.
11. Untitled. CSI:NY. The orchestra Flack story.
12. Untitled. Original. The story about the cop who used to be a serial killer but stopped for the sake of his department, which covered up for him, and the partner who gave up everything for him.
"My daddy was a cop, an NOPD detective. He was -- ten years older than my mama?" He reached over to snag the bottle from Ellis, took a gulp of warm beer and passed it back. "I was eleven when she pulled my daddy's service revolver on him. She shot him once through the chest and then he took it from her and shot her twice in the heart."
Ellis turned her head toward him.
"I was in the kitchen," LaMontaine said, eyes on the sunset. "My daddy called me over and put me in his lap -- he put the gun down, put his arms around me. He died before the cops got there."
"LaMontaine..." Ellis said softly.
"It was twenty years ago, baby girl. I'm long over it." He took the bottle back from her, sloshed it around experimentally before drinking. "Just thought you should know what Beauchamp meant when he said I was like my daddy."
Okay, so slightly lying. One original story beneath the cut, because it's AWESOME.
ETA: Argh, I'm forgetting stuff. This stuff being the SPN/Drive crossover and all the Star Wars fic. Uh, maybe later.

1. Okay, you know I worship your Bardverse. I'll admit that Bloody Sunday isn't my favourite in the series (because it's totally pwned by Omerta!), but yes yes and yes. I'd love to see this worked on more, because I'd love to see angsty Mac and Danny together, and more of the Danny/Flack, and Aiden (!!!) and ohgod, totally yes.
2.
WRITE THIS FIC
. I beg you. I've wanted this fic for so long, and you keep teasing me with these little bits and pieces, and I am so eager to see this, to see Flack and how much he's changed, and Danny once he's chosen his side, and Mac's reaction, and Aiden and Lindsay and Stella and ohgod. Danny actually deciding to go with Val is just... so fantastic.3. I still think Jerry Bruckheimer needs to get ahold of this Season X and actually DO IT, because damn, it's brilliant. It's so original and fantastic and it would be amazing to see on TV. But it'll be just as amazing to read as a fic!!
4. Oooh, I'm intrigued.
5. Would this be the same fic where Danny pulls the "I'm a Constantine [or just From A Mafia Family]" card? Or is that something totally different? Poor Flack, he's too damned heroic, trading places with Adam. And I'd be interested to see how this works, if they trade, because Danny won't have the little chemical thingy, then.
6. Guh. You make me pity Lindsay, and I love you for that, because I never thought I'd pity her.
8. YES YES AND OHGOD MORE YES. I read the one you linked to, with James, and I want MORE, because this is totally genius. I never would have thought about it until you mentioned in your personal canon that PotC and SPN are in the same 'verse, and I love you for introducing me to this concept.
11. The one where he plays the violin?
12. We chatted about this one before, if I'm thinking of the right story. I'm really interested to read this one, because I like shows like "Dexter", and I think this would be all kinds of creepy and fantastic. Also, NOPD cops are scary, man. They were everywhere this past weekend.
PS: DRIVE/SPN FOR THE WIN, GLEE.
no subject
1. If I am going to rewrite Bloody Sunday (and I still don't know if I am, and it kind of pisses me off that the Bardverse isn't internally consistent with myself, but I don't even want to think about tackling the other three), I definitely need to sit down and think out a plot beyond the mess of the original one. I want to, but I also don't want to, you know?
2. I think I might. I mean, I have bits of it, and it gets a little better each time I throw stuff at it, but it'd still be a novel-length and I keep hesitating over that, because of certain school-related reasons. I am writing parts of it, though.
3. If Jerry Bruckheimer used it, I'd want money off it, damn it. But God, it would be so cool to see on screen. Again, writing bits of the finale ep. Where Danny, um, shoots people.
4. There are pieces of it scattered around, under the CSI:NY tag, I think.
5. Yep. I just didn't quote that particular piece here. Flack is an idiot for trading, because he gets beat up a lot, but it is pretty heroic. And Danny has the sulfuric acid, but he's also, uh, unconscious.
6. Of course, I have to actually figure out what's going on -- because, you see, Danny and Flack aren't sleeping together and they never have been. But Lindsay doesn't know that!
8. I need to see what happens in At World's End, I think, before I write this. Because I want to use Will, and I need to see how far AU I'll end up going. But it would be so completely awesome. (And SPN and PotC are totally in the same 'verse. All you have to do is watch them to figure it out.)
11. Yep, that's the one.
12. Yeah, it's the same story. I don't really have all that much of it, because I wrote until I couldn't write no more. I could post what I have? The main character LaMontaine, is an ex-NOPD detective; he's now an NYPD detective.
WHEE! It needs a title! That, alas, cannot be highway to hell.
no subject
2. I understand the school thing, and I'd never want you to let fic interfere with school stuff :D. (man, listen to me, sounding all responsible and hypocritical). But I still totally want to see this, when you have the time (and inclination) to write it!
3. Man, Jerry Bruckheimer owns most of Hollywood. If he wants Season X, I say give it to him for a mere walk-on roll as a corpse in one of the episodes, or something. Because he's like GOD.
4. Cool, I'll go browse for it. I've probably read it, then, and just don't recall.
5. Poor Flack. Poor Danny. Curses, you, for torturing them so prettily!
6. Wait, wait, they AREN'T sleeping together?
8. Well, AWE comes out in a few days! I'm so excited for it.
12. I'd love to read what you have, it'd be fantastic. LaMontaine is the ex-serial killer, I guess?
*laughs* Yeah, I suppose Highway to Hell is taken. There must be other random song titles to use, though!
no subject
2. I'm writing the Flack punches Mac bit for you right now, I swear. Look, I'll even give you a quote: “You told me to turn on my family or get out, so I got out. You never did have an eye for shades of gray, Mac. I ain’t walkin’ outta here on your say-so again, badge or no badge, not when it comes down to me or my family.”
3. *crosses arms* I want money and a job. *cough* Yeah, like that'll happen.
4. It involves a terminally depressed Flack with wings, that's all I can say.
5. I can't help myself! I probably need to get over this physical harm thing in my writing.
6. For a change, no. They only made out the once, which is, unfortunately, the time they got caught on camera. And Danny was drugged up, he can hardly be blamed even though, oh I don't know, he started it. Poor Lindsay.
8. *waves flag* Hurrah!
12. Sure, I'll throw it up. LaMontaine's a darling, despite the...serial killer thing.
no subject
2. *laughs* No need to worry, you've got tests and school and whatever to worry about. But omg, I cannot wait to read it :D. Oh, Danny... he's so right, too, because Mac has no shades of gray, and forcing Danny to choose between his blood and his job is unfair.
3. In that case, I totally support sending a detailed summary to Jerry Bruckheimer and copies of it to the writer(s) of CSI: NY, and see what comes of it. Because if Star Trek took fan ideas for episodes, I don't see why CSI: NY wouldn't, too.
4. OH OH OH YES I READ THIS ONE. Where he's a superhero, and he fights whatever, and someone gets turned into a giant dragon-y lizard or something.
5. Don't get over it! The angst that comes from it is totally awesome.
6. So are they going to sleep together? Or was it all just a Really Unfortunate Mistake?
8. Woe, that I will be too drugged up to see it the day it comes out.
12. AWESOME. So excited to read it, really. Your original stuff is brilliant.
no subject
2. On the other hand, I do only have school for three more weeks. The scene should be up later this week, we're just about to the hitting part. Mac just tried to arrest Danny.
3. *dramatic sigh* They wouldn't play it, though. I'll just have to write it. Or parts of it, because writing the whole thing would be, a, really cool, and, b, like, beyond a novel-length.
4. No, that's Tomorrow People. Winter City is the one where Danny is a speedster and an ex-jockey and mounted officer.
5. Yeah, I'm not too sure on my ability to write angst, either.
6. Good question. After all, the whole story's from Lindsay's POV, and she's definitely not going to be there. *pause* Or maybe she is, just not on purpose. In this story Flack is the one in love with Danny, and Danny knows that, so...not entirely a mistake.
8. Alas, it comes out on a school day. Maybe this weekend.
12. In the process of typing it up, I swear!
no subject
2. It's so weird that you still have three more weeks of school. I feel like I've been on summer break for ages, yet you and my younger siblings are all still in school. Poor y'all :(.
3. They might. THEY MIGHT. Not likely, I'll admit, but you never know. They might say "Hey, wow, that would really be fantastic and drama-filled and angsty and bring in some great viewer figures". But you should still totally write it ;)
4. Oh. OH. Dang. Okay. I'll have to go read Winter City, then :D
5. Trust me, you rock at writing angst. You don't seem to write a whole lot of it, but what I've read is great.
6. Mmmh, okay, so, Flack/Danny with Lindsay watching? Is infinitely hot.
8. It comes out on a Friday, I thought?
12. Hey, hey, take your time. Don't you have SCHOOL tomorrow? :D *laughs* I'm eager to read it, though.
no subject
2. And we're ending the year early this year, too. Next year they're changing the schedule back; I'll graduate on June 8, 2008. This year's seniors are graduating on the 31 (of May).
3. The average viewer is dumb enough to think that Danny really is working for the mob. Most of what I'm writing involves Danny shooting people. Alas, poor Danny.
4. I like writing superhero AUs, what can I say?
5. I just don't know when I write anything happy. *sigh* Most of what I write is action, so.
6. Lindsay watching and them not knowing, probably. Haven't started writing, yet.
8. I thought it came out on Thursday the 24th?
12. It's only 9:30 over here. *shrugs* My average bedtime is 11:00. It's still being typed.
no subject
2. Man, that sucks. I graduated on May... 28, I think, of 2004, and my sister's was about the same time of the year. But we always end the Thursday after Memorial Day.
3. The average viewer, though, is just plain dumb, truth be told. Sad but true. And Danny, oh. OH :(
4. Haha, yes, I've noticed. Nothing wrong with that, though!
5. You write a few random happy things. Scenes from longer works, I think, mostly.
6. Yeah, that's what I meant. Still totally awesometastic, though.
8. Does it? I thought they were doing a screening on Thursday night in some theatres, but it didn't start until the 25th for real?
12. Oh, yeah, silly western time zone. Crazy, because you're always up when it's, like, 2 AM where I'm at, which rocks because most of my friends are asleep by then, and I'm bored unless I have someone to exchange emails and comments with!
no subject
2. *shrugs* It's always the same thing here. This is the first time we've diverged in a while.
3. This is true. So far, I have written Danny shooting two people, both dead. He's about to shoot another.
5. I realized this when I was putitng stories together for the Creative Writing Club anthology. Of the stuff I had to choose from -- I took some of my shorter fics and changed the names -- nothing was happy.
6. *bounces* And I think it's the first thing I've written in a while that's actually in canon, too. Yay!
8. ...yeah, I got nothing.
12. Occasionally you're up when it's 2 am over here, and I have to wonder when you SLEEP.
no subject
3. Danny Danny Danny. I want to give him a big hug when it's all over with. :(
5. Have you ever written something that's happy and fluffy as a writing exercise, to see if you can do it?
8. Meh, I have no idea. I'll see it next weekend, one way or another, and that's all that matters to me!
12. I DO NOT SLEEP. I tend to go to bed at 4 or 5 AM on nights (mornings!) when I have nothing to do for the next few days. I can easily fuck up my sleep schedule, and then shift it back to something resembling normal. I turned TOTALLY nocturnal for about four weeks last summer, though, which fucked me up so badly that it hurts to think about.
no subject
3. Danny TOTALLY needs a hug. And therapy. (And dude, I'd have the best follow-up episodes ever in the next season: Danny's drug problem, Danny having to testify, Danny having to fake being undercover for a guy that just got out of prison...)
5. I've written relatively happy stuff! Like, um, the Valentine's Day stories for last year, and the St. Patty's day story with Danny and Flack (in the Bardverse). Give me a happy and fluffy prompt and I'll see if I can write something.
12. *wince*
no subject
3. Danny's therapy sessions would be hilarious to see. He's too MACHO to talk about his feelings. He and Dean Winchester could sit around and drink beer instead of talking about their angst.
no subject
3. And then they could have sex!
...I think my brain just exploded from the hot. Wow.
no subject
If it helps, I did separate LJs for my NaNovels and rarely used them, so it really wasn't worth it for me.
3. YES, THEY COULD HAVE SEX. Oooh, Dean/Danny. That'd be hot.
no subject
3. YES. YES IT WOULD. And then Flack would have to arrest Dean for something, and be totally jealous.
no subject
3. Mmmh, Dean in handcuffs, and Flack is torn between calling the FBI (even though he hates the FBI) sheerly out of jealousy, or actually believing the crazy guy who believes in demons.
no subject
3. Why do I have this feeling that Flack knows about demons? Oh my God, I may have to write this. YOU ARE AN EVIL, EVIL INFLUENCE.
no subject
I can understand Danny knowing about them, but Flack? Hm... Maybe!
no subject
Apparently I'm celebrating finale season by writing lots and lots of fanfic, half of which is SPN crossovers.
no subject
Ohgod, I know what you mean. The season finales for various shows have sorta nudged me to write tons of fic, especially SPN and CSI: NY, though I'm definitely writing more of the former than the latter.
no subject
I think part of it is also that we have a couple months before the new season starts -- we've got time to breathe, ya know? We don't have to worry about getting jossed, although I don't think that's the main issue. Also, we have to make our own fun. *sheepish grin* Not that we don't, uh, do that anyway.
no subject
You mean this post? where?
Yeah, we totally have to make our own fun, since there's so long until the next season!
no subject
Hey, half the time we do a better job of it than the show anyway.
no subject
Yeah, but man, I don't know if anyone could have written a season finale as good as that one on SPN.
no subject
5. Yeah, the St Patty's story was the one I was thinking of as being happy. The V-day one was cheerful, too!
Um, write a lazy Sunday morning between Danny and Flack, where they drink coffee and just lounge around and rest and chat and enjoy their day off.
12. Sleep and me, we don't get along all the time.
no subject
"Noon," Flack said, pushing into his personal space. He took one of Danny's hands and pressed a mug of coffee into it, hot enough to make his fingers sting but not enough that his immediate reaction was to drop it.
"Oh, God, is that the good stuff?" Danny said, inhaling.
"Blue Mountain," Flack affirmed. "How late'd you get in last night, Messer?"
"Two? Somethin' like that. It was the butler."
"You're kiddin' me. Seriously? Man, all I had was a pissed off ex-wife." Flack's hand brushed over his elbow, guided him to one of the chairs. Danny had to put the coffee down to get his glasses on his face.
"Yeah, the guy -- Christ, I don't remember. We finally pulled up this weird genetic disorder, ya know? One of those freaky things, and we got lucky. Bastard almost got away with it." He squinted at Flack's face through the steam rising from his coffee. "Why the hell are you up?"
"I went to mass, Danny," Flack said wryly. He leaned over to brush a kiss over Danny's upturned lips. "What do you want, pancakes?"
"You can cook?"
no subject
Flack went to mass? That's far more awesomely hilarious then it should be.
Okay, you win ♥
no subject
I have a theory about Flack and Catholicism. I think I'm going to add it to my personal canon. *sigh*
