Looking for a place to land

A ridiculous ficlet inspired by this, written for gameofcards.

( Giant flying space turkeys )

Written for Allies Alphabet Soup.

R is for Regrets

Haikon is the last of his people. The Tau'ri confirm it for him after they destroy the thing that used to be Volnek, but he'd already known.

The Tau'ri take him back to their world. He doesn't expect to survive, but their surgeons prove as skilled as Volnek reported, and he wakes from surgery to voices telling him that he'll be fine.

He spends his recovery reviewing his regrets. It's not a luxury he would have allowed himself in the days when he was Lord Haikon, leader of the Sodan. But now he's just Haikon, with too many hours and no purpose to guide his use of them, and his regrets have grown past counting. (If only he had been a better warrior. Fought harder. Brought Volnek down.)

The Tau'ri tell him there is nothing he could have done. His people were doomed the moment the Prior first made contact. (If only he had hidden them more effectively. Guarded them from the eyes of the Ori.)

"If you'd stopped Volnek, they would have tried something else," Mitchell says. "One way or another, they would have brought you down. They don't believe in taking 'no' for an answer."

"And yet here you stand, your world untouched," Haikon counters. (If only he'd moved his people to this world. Perhaps whatever blessings protect the Tau'ri might have protected them also.)

"So far," Mitchell says grimly. "And only if you don't count that bout of Prior Plague we went through."

"Even so."

Mitchell shakes his head. "Can't run on luck forever."

The Tau'ri invite him to stay when he's healed. Tell him they can find a place for him on this world. He refuses their offer. The Tau'ri seem to have few plans for a direct attack right now, and Haikon lacks the patience to wait. Besides, if he's to face down an implacable enemy, he'd rather do it with Jaffa at his side. Even Jaffa who have only recently thrown aside the yoke of false gods. (If only he hadn't survived the attack. If only had hadn't lived long enough to know the terrible loneliness of being the last.)

Teal'c gives him the addresses of several Jaffa worlds where he will be welcome. Haikon picks one at random and asks the Tau'ri to dial it for him.

The world he walks into is as strange as that of the Tau'ri. The clothing is odd, the smells unfamiliar, and the symbols of the false gods are everywhere, though many have been vandalized or torn down. Haikon resolutely ignores all of it and goes in search of the warriors.

It doesn't matter anyway. He doesn't expect he'll be here long.

Since there was some interest last night in John Sheppard/Cam Mitchell fic recs, I thought I'd spread out the work (and create a wider field of recs) by setting up a new central rec post at sg_flyboys.

If you're interested in getting some recs, go leave a comment detailing what kinds of things you're looking for.

If you have some recs to share, go do that too!

There have been a lot of great new stories lately--and some new fans who might have missed the older stories--and I'd love to see all of the great fic get the attention it deserves.

Some hurriedly-written kissing ficlets for sg1_smooch, because today's the last day. I'll try to get one or two more done for amnesty.

I asked for prompts for pairings for sg1_smooch, and this is what I got. Posted here, there, and over at sga_smooch as appropriate.

So gaffsie recently noticed that both mcsmooch and non_mcsmooch seem to have died a few months ago and decided to rectify that situation by creating a new, consolidated SGA kissing community: sga_smooch. At which point she and I discussed and agreed that there's really no reason that SGA should have all the fun. (Especially since, if you go by what actors say at cons, there was a whole lot more kissing happening on the SG1 set than the SGA set.)

Therefore, I now present you with sg1_smooch.

Both communities are open for entries from now until August 14th, and will periodically be open in parallel from now on. If you're not too busy writing for the Porn Battle, why not stop by?

Oooh, and while I have your attention, let me also point out that prompt claiming is now open at apocalypse_kree, in case you want to come help end the world.


(P.S. If any of you would like to volunteer to be the back-up admin at sg1_smooch, let me know. You probably won't have to do anything; I just like having contingency plans in place.)

All written for stargateland's Theme Week.

And yes, Landry does seem to be showing an awful lot of interest in Cam's love life.
