Title: Eager to Be What You Wanted
Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale; Dresden Files
Rating: As "General Audiences" as WtNV/Dresden can be
Wordcount: 7000 (Chapter 1)
Relationships: Cecil Palmer/Carlos Ramirez
Timeline/Spoilers: Potential spoilers for WtNV through episode 81, "After 3327"; and for Dresden Files through "Skin Game".
AO3 Tags: Crossover, Magic, Mad Science, Amnesia, Mind Manipulation, Handwaving
Warnings: I don't think any content warnings are relevant, but if loss of autonomy/mind-control sorts of things are triggers for you, please proceed with caution or message me for details.
Notes: This will probably be super confusing if you haven't read the (200k-word) inspiring work Love Is All You Need to Destroy Your Enemies, but I'm not the boss of you. You do what you want. Be advised there is much handwaving within, because I do what I want, too.
Status: This is a complete work, but the remaining chapters are still in beta. I'll post them as I get through editing.
Summary/Teaser: After too many absences, a poorly timed argument, and Valentine's Day, Carlos just wants Cecil to be happy.

I don't really want to deal with the wordcount limits and formatting of DW/LJ, or the fic-scraping over at LJ, so I'm just posting to AO3 this time, but comments over here are entirely welcome.

Title: (You've Got to Get) A Good Heart
Rating: FRT for violence, language
Wordcount: 27,500
Crossposting: At AO3; comment-only base at LJ
( Relationships, Timeline/Spoilers, Warnings, Disclaimer, Notes )

Summary/teaser: The Tesseract is not done with the Starks. Howard and Tony have each left important things unsaid. Good intentions are not always a defense, and Tony doesn't necessarily handle second chances with grace or tact.

Title: The rusty wire gives way
Author: michelel72
Genre/Rating: Gen; FRT for themes (apocalypse/dark)
Wordcount: 2700
Timeline/Spoilers: Post-series, set soon after the final episode
Warnings: None
Disclaimer/Policies: This is a work of fanfiction inspired by the television series "Stargate: Atlantis" and "Stargate: SG-1". All feedback of any length, including constructive criticism, always welcome. Transformative/derivative/related works always welcome if credit is given. If my warnings for triggers/squick are inadequate, please let me know.
Crossposting: Original copy at AO3; mirror at Livejournal; mirror at DW
Notes/Credits: The "Angst" category at the SGA Genficathon category collapsed (five signups, no fics), and I had written one pinch-hit; the next week, I decided to try for a second one and this was the result. The theme was inspired by several recent influences, foremost among them chapter 9 of Rachel Maddow's "Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power". The title is adapted from Pink Floyd's "Two Suns in the Sunset".

Summary: How do you move on when your own history proves you don't need to?

Title: Darkness Is the Only Sound
Author: michelel72
Genre/Rating: Gen; FRT for themes
Wordcount: 27,000
Timeline/Spoilers: Follows canon through 3x14 "Tao of Rodney" but turns decidedly AU before 3x17 "Sunday". Tiny character-background spoilers from 4x15 "Outcast".

Disclaimer/Policies: This is a work of fanfiction inspired by the television series "Stargate: Atlantis" and "Stargate: SG-1". All feedback of any length, including constructive criticism, always welcome. If my warnings for triggers/squick are inadequate, please let me know.
Notes/Credits: Title from "Gypsy" by the Moody Blues. valleya provided very helpful early-version feedback; no formal beta for the final version.

Summary: The expedition finds surprising signs of a long-missing race, but a greater surprise lies in store.

My apologies to my Livejournal friends. I've tried to cross-post everything to all three sites I use, but this story would require four posts to fit on LJ with the chapter-break at the right place. I'm instead posting just at AO3 and DW, but this post will remain available for commenting for those who prefer LJ.

Title: A Few Small Repairs
Author: michelel72
Genre/Rating: Rodney/Teyla preship, plus team gen; FRK
Wordcount: 4800
Timeline/Spoilers: Full AU. Epilogue to Damper
Warnings: None.
Notes: 1) Many, many thanks to siriaeve for organizing Sticks & Snark! This actually wasn't written specifically for her prompt "What makes Teyla cranky, and how does Rodney negotiate that?" — but it wound up close in spirit, and I hope it satisfies. 2) Title from Shawn Colvin.
Policies: All feedback of any length, including constructive criticism, always welcome. If my warnings for triggers/squick are inadequate, please let me know.
Credits: Beta by the lightning-quick scarlet_gryphon. Remaining mistakes are of course my own.

Summary: That thing with Ronon's hair was so not Rodney's fault.

Title: Damper || Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
Recipient: astridv, for Sticks & Snark
Author: michelel72
Genre/Rating: Preshippy gen; FRK (mild language, action)
Wordcount: 26k
Timeline/Spoilers: Full AU. Includes allusions to content through season two, as well as a season five character.
Warnings: None.
Prompt: "AU where they are investigators of some kind and Teyla gets to show her smarts"
Note 1: I aimed for 'ship and landed on preshippy (very pre) gen; I hope that satisfies. astridv specifically did not want "bashing of any character"; I did use canonical character dislike of someone in POV, and if that comes too close to character bashing, I do most sincerely apologize.
Note 2: I used the Western system as the inspiration for this AU, though I've deviated from it; no disrespect or dismissal is intended towards the primary Eastern version (or any other), but I couldn't reconcile both within one world. (The sign descriptions for RL, DH, and KH here just happened to fit eerily well for my purposes, incidentally.)
Policies: All feedback of any length, including constructive criticism, always welcome. If my warnings for triggers/squick are inadequate, please let me know.
Credits: Non-fandom beta by dread_pirate, who knows SGA only from what I've told her and is surely very confused by now; in-fandom beta by greyias and frith_in_thorns; locale review/advice by valleya and the fine folks at drop_the_u. My devoted thanks to all. Remaining mistakes are of course my own.
