Yup, this is it, folks, the complete list of prompts for this year's Happyfest. The main difference this year is that we're open for art works as well as fic. Otherwise, the rules remain the same, the first of which is:

READ THE RULES BEFORE WRITING!

(there are notes about spoilers that I NEED you to read)

My skills at writing short fics leave much to be desired. So this one doesn't fit in a comment. Here's the fic info and link to the full story though!

Title: Along for the Ride
Author: hollow_echos
Genre: Gen
Spoilers: None
Word Count: ~4,800 words
Rating: PG
Summary: Parker's never liked horses. She tried to explain that to the team, but she still got roped into a con requiring her to ride one of the animals. The mission doesn't exactly going according to plan, and Parker realizes that maybe it's time to get over this phobia of hers. But that's not a gauntlet she need face alone, that's what teammates are for. Eliot and Parker friendship, pre-ship if you squint.
Author's Note: This fic was written for the prompt "Eliot/Parker: teaching" at the bringthehappy community. I wanted to get it up for the fest, so this piece is un-betaed. All errors are my own.

Torchwood: rain dance; Jack; PG phinnia August 20 2010, 03:42:42 UTC

Rain was a rare and special thing where Jack grew up. Where he lives now, it rains more often than not. This balance, this differential, has not escaped his notice ( ... )

So wonderfully evocative--I can see Jack's mother dancing in the rain with utter joy. And I can see Jack too, his face raised and laughing...

thank you! <3

Thread 9

Doctor Who; Face to Faith; Eleven/Jack; G crystalshard August 20 2010, 20:14:03 UTC

The next time that the Doctor sees Jack, they're both older. Well, technically, the Doctor is both older and younger - older in years, younger in body, and still not ginger. It'd be nice to be ginger, one day.

Jack's eyes carry the pain of a hundred human lifetimes, of a Time Lord's lifespan without the embrace of the universe to give him a place wherever he was.

Time Lords always know where they are in the universe. They might not know the names, or the people, or the customs, but where they are relative to the heart of the universe? It's as much a part of them as knowing when they are. Humans - even humans like Jack, who are the stones in the Zen-garden sands of life - don't have that knowledge. Can't have it ( ... )

Re: Doctor Who; Face to Faith; Eleven/Jack; G rustydog August 22 2010, 03:53:04 UTC

without the embrace of the universe to give him a place wherever he was

That is such a strong image.

I also like the way this moves from what seems like pity for Jack and humans, to self-pity, to shared joy.

Re: Doctor Who; Face to Faith; Eleven/Jack; G crystalshard August 22 2010, 08:21:02 UTC

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked it.

This particular story was one where I just gave Eleven a scene and let him talk through me. I had no clue what was going to come out of my fingers until I typed it.

I need an Eleven icon.

Oh! I've got a lump in my throat now, that's so gorgeous and painfully beautiful...

SGA; Uncle Meredith; Rodney; G awanderingbard August 20 2010, 22:46:00 UTC

((I've never written Rodney before, but I can't resist the chance for kid!fic, so I decided to risk it. On the bright side, this is probably the first time my Canadian spelling is appropriate for a character.))“Whatzat?” Madison asked. She climbed into Rodney’s lap, much to his horror, and he grabbed her wrists to keep her hands from hitting the keys on his laptop. “Is it a game ( ... )

Re: SGA; Uncle Meredith; Rodney; G crystalshard August 22 2010, 08:23:44 UTC

I love this. It sounds very Rodney, somehow, and I love the simulation program.

Re: SGA; Uncle Meredith; Rodney; G awanderingbard August 27 2010, 21:54:35 UTC

Thank you! :D

Re: SGA; Uncle Meredith; Rodney; G saphirablue August 22 2010, 17:46:21 UTC

*awww* Rodney as Uncle Meredith is adorable! :)

Thank you for this fic!

Great job! So sweet and hot, too. I didn't think I was in the mood to be reading Ten/Martha, but I'm glad I did!
