I have a sad love for doomed shows, and I may in fact write fics for shows no longer in existence.

Nanowrimo started the same day Fairly Legal was canceled. That's how I got here. I know a challenge when I see one.

Personal favorite pairings/triads:

Ben/Kate from Fairly Legal

Lloyd/Olivia and Bryce/Keiko from FlashForward

Captain Jack/Gwen and Captain Jack/Ianto/Gwen from Torchwood

Fairly Legal: Ripple of Hope Follow-ups

Here is the list of stories, in order, of the follow-ups between Autumn Rayne and myself. I'm even, Autumn Rayne is odd. Don't let her fool you. After all, she started it. :)

Well, okay, I did. I asked her, "Was your latest story a one-shot or the opening to a longer piece?" Then I wrote a follow-up and said, "Tag, you're it!" Really.

So, uh, I guess it is my fault.

1. I Don't Have To Do Anything

2. Forgetting Something

3. Tumble Lightly, Dear House of Cards

4. What's Up, Doc?

5. Drinking It In

6. Maybe I Do Have To

7. Killing Me Softly

8. Escalating Thoughts

9. Say What?

10. Whatever The Lady Desires

11. Hither and Thither

12. Getting To Know You

13. Ay, There's the Rub

14. The Importance of Being Earnest

No Uncertain Terms by desina reviews
This story sticks to canon, but has significant interstitial scenes that change the meaning of the canon. Like, say, sleeping together in the Borderline timeframe. Disclaimer: I don't own Fairly Legal. If I did, I'd own Ben and that would be AWESOME. :D Each chapter that corresponds to an episode will be named with that episode title.

Attentional Dinner by desina reviews
