Summary: Bucky must feel the tether between them. He may not understand it, but he hasn't strayed. Even followed Steve from D.C. to New York. That has to mean something. Steve knows: that has to mean something.

Notes: Many thanks to sopdetly for betaing and for thinking when I was much to tired to think. Written as a response to getyourwordsout 2020 Yahtzee; prompt: Patient

Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Summary: 2016. Before now, coming back from a mission never felt like coming home, but when Bucky's waiting by his Wakandan hut, goats and sun-touched grass around him, Steve can't help admitting he knows where he belongs.

Notes: Thanks to sopdetly for betaing and look, I finally gave you something nice and soft. Written as a response to getyourwordsout 2020 Yahtzee; prompt: Tinkle

Title: Just Once

Word count: ~875
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Summary: 1944. Steve's used to his squad's lack of sleeping habits, but it's still a surprise when Bucky slips out of the shadows and sits next to Steve. It's even more of a surprise when Bucky kisses him. (This summary does not sound as angsty as this fic is.)

Notes: Thanks to sopdetly for betaing and for permitting me to hurt her heart. Written as a response to getyourwordsout 2020 Yahtzee; prompt: Warm

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe/Stargate SG-1 Fusion
Title: Few and Far Between

Rating: Teen
Word count: ~1,810
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Summary: MCU/SG-1 Fusion. When the fire rain seemingly destroys the stargate on Edora, Steve has to contemplate life on an alien planet... while separated from Bucky. Inspired by the SG-1 episode "A Hundred Days."

Notes: Many thanks to sopdetly for inspiring this fusion and for putting up with all of the angst. Also, I don't think I've ever written a Jack/Daniel Hundred Days fic, but it would pretty much look like this.

Pairing: Finn/Poe

Summary: Five times Poe and Finn very nearly kissed and one time they finally got to;
OR Poe Dameron Really Wants to Make Out With Finn, Please Let Him;
OR Finn is obvious and Poe is kind of an idiot who is really wrapped up in pining.

Notes: Thanks to sopdetly and jedimara77 for checking canon compliancy on the scene set within The Rise of Skywalker.

Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Prompt: 005. Lasts (Big Damn Table)
Summary: Stargate: Continuum Fic. Everything about this timeline sucks, including the inferior Jack O'Neill showing up at Daniel's apartment door just ahead of the military escort. What the hell does he want?

Notes: I recently discovered this nearly finished fic in my WIP folder. Imagine my surprise when I realized I started it in 2009, finished the draft in 2017, and just never bothered to finish the continuity check. Thanks to melayneseahwak for the beta and to this fandom for still being here for a fic that is literally 10 years late.

Title: These Chucks Don't Burn Like They Used To
Author: Em
Rating: PG-13 for language, attempted dub-con
Word count: ~17,600 (in 2 parts)
Pairing: Teddy/James
Summary: Seven months ago, Hex Deflection hit wizarding mainstream when lead guitarist James was named the Hogwarts Heartbreaker by Witch Weekly. Since then Teddy, James, and their pop-punk band mates have been thrust into the spotlight, booking bigger shows and fielding interviews from the leading musical magazine Sonorous Punk. The pressure of the public eye and the stress of being on a six-week UK tour is starting to tear at them when Hex's frontman Liam starts grating on everyone's nerves—though no one's more than James's. Caught in the middle, Teddy struggles to walk the line between being James's best mate (and secret admirer) and Liam's on-stage snog. Of course it could be more than the sudden success of Hex Deflection that has James's wand in a knot....

Summary: SG-1 returns to Tekhne to extract Gerard, the inventor of the Vinculum (in Jack-speak, "internet in the brain"). But the mission goes south when Daniel is captured. It's a story about firefights, Ascension, figuring out your place after a long absence, and of course, being able to IM someone's brain.

The Analog Myth
Rating: PG-13 for language and violence
Word Count: ~40,000 (in 4 parts)
Summary: While doing routine negations on a planet that might actually be able to help the SGC fight the Ori, SG-1 stumbles upon a familiar technology—the Vinculum, the nanite-based invention that gives the bearer internet-in-the-brain. How did this technology make it from Tekhne, the planet where Jack and Daniel were first exposed, to Aberdone? To make matters worse, the Aberdones have recently experienced a religious revolution and are worshipping a new god . . . one, unfortunately, well known to SG-1.
