Veldeia's dreamwidth

Geocities announced it's closing down some time ago, and my old fic archive was over there. I want to have all my fic on some single site that's not fanfiction.net, and I decided I could as well bring the stuff over here. So, it's all on lj, now, all those silly old SG-1 fics, which might've been okay without all the over-the-top whump. I also managed to put together a header-sort-of-thing for my lj (me, of teh non-existent skillz in anything graphic), and changed the layout a bit. Nothing special, but maybe it looks a bit less generic and more individual now.

To celebrate this change of address for my old fic, and in nostalgic memory of all the weirdness I've ever written, I wrote this weeeird ficlet. A pretty much pointless thing, really, and not even all that funny, since every time I try to write crack, it takes itself all too seriously. Well. Maybe someone will read this some day, maybe not - I mostly wrote it for myself, anyway. :)

Title: Hurt, Comfort & Co.
Author: Veldeia
Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood/Stargate SG-1/B5: Crusade/Iron Man (sort of)
Characters/Pairings: 10th Doctor, Jack Harkness, Daniel Jackson, Galen, Tony Stark & a few others. Gen, unless you wear slashy glasses and squint a lot. Told from the Doctor and Jack's points of view.
Spoilers: None for the shows. Some for my fics.
Warnings: The fourth wall gets broken. Also, there's some navel-gazing by the author.
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~7300
Genre/Category: Crossover, crack, parody, hurt/comfort, adventure, mystery, drama, angst, whump without plot... You name it.
Disclaimer: Anything you can recognise isn't mine. The rest won't make much sense anyway.
Summary: A tragicomedy in two acts. You can read this as an adventure with gratuitous whump and a completely cracked premise, or as a self-ironic meta-sort-of-thing in the form of fiction by a long-time h/c addict, or anything in-between.

( I guess you can't understand, if you're not into h/c yourself. )

Title: Future-Perfect-In-Past
Author: Veldeia
Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood
Spoilers: All the way through S4 of Doctor Who and S2 of Torchwood. Takes place post Journey's End for the Doctor, but after A Day in the Death for the Torchwood team.
Characters/Pairings: 10th Doctor, Jack, Ianto, Owen, Tosh, Gwen. Slight Jack/Ianto.
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I'm sure that somewhere out there, there's a wonderful parallel universe where I own all the stuff I write about - but it definitely isn't this one.
Beta: Thanks to cytherea999 for the beta, and to my anonymous alpha for everything.
Summary: Dead Weevils and an unconscious Doctor amount to a mystery more challenging and less straightforward than usual for the Torchwood team.

Whee, here we go, now: this is the first Who-fic I've ever written (Recuperation was actually the second, although I posted it first). You could call this an etude of sorts, since there's a little bit of everything. It's a Doctor Who/Torchwood crossover with mystery, drama, humor, action, a wee bit of h/c, slight Jack/Ianto, aliens, timetravel, and something from the POV of each of the major characters. This is a finished story, but I'm posting it one chapter at a time over the next week or so.

Oh, God.

I just finished watching the second season of Torchwood. A friend of mine had been going on about this series for a while, and lent me the DVD box sets. I totally fell in love - a show that has lovable characters (Jack! <3 <3 Ianto! <3 <3 Owen! <3 <3), plenty of hurt/comfort, never forgetting the comfort part, and slash that's actually there, not just in the eye of the beholder! But dear goodness, the last episode totally broke my heart. Left a really bitter taste in my mouth.

( Spoilers for Torchwood S2 last episode )

Now, I'm feeling sort-of torn. I've got a tiny idea that could develop into a Torchwood fic, if I tried (set before the end of S2, obviously). The thing is, as silly as it may sound, I hate writing fic when I know what's coming for the characters, it's depressing, somehow. Bleh.

I guess I should start looking into the Torchwood fic already out there first. If anyone knows any good stuff, feel free to point it out to me. Preferably h/c, pretty much all pairings go, though I'm not that big on Jack/Gwen.
