So, I wrote my first McShep story in SGA. I'm not sure what came over me. Well, I do. I got Covid and, apparently, on Friday, when my brain was fogged, my nose was dripping snot and I was trying to swallow against the feeling of razor blades, naturally, I wrote something romantic. As one does. Because it's me, it might be more, well, brutal than romantic, but it is romantic. I think. It's also short. Well, short for me.

Anyway. Here it is: I Sometimes Wonder.

"Trapped in a random cell on a backwater planet, Rodney is rambling on and John is getting annoyed.
Until he figures out what Rodney is actually telling him, hidden beneath the bluster."

Then, on a Paxlovid high over the next two days, I churned out, not kidding, over 20,000 words of novel. Which was way too much, because now I'm well over my word limit (133,000, god damn it. I was trying to stay under 100K!) But I was stuck at home instead of cavorting with family looking for eggs, and my husband was kindly doing all the chores, and so, writing I was!

I also wrote something kinda bizarre because I didn't want to finish my taxes. Not sure it's any good. It's not fic, it's just a potential start to a short story based on an idea I had a few years ago. Be interested what you think.
