I realised I have a lot of them… and all of them are either unashamed crack and/or ridiculously shippy. Or kinda porny, for that matter.

My biggest headcanon is easily that Sam and Jack totally got married in Vegas between seasons eight and nine of SG-1 when Sam was working at Area 51. Also, Janet got better after the time screwiness of Continuum – whose to say that the timeline is exactly the same?

For Warehouse 13, the Regents shipped HG Wells off to the Sanctuary at the end of season two cuz Helen and Tesla threw fits about being left in the dark about her debronzing. Will’s psychiatrist powers and Helen’s blood (if it does suppress John’s crazy – idk, the show retcons itself and I get the webisodes mixed up with the series proper all the time) made HG better. Myka, of course, was recruited by Helen and now she and HG hunt monsters instead of artefacts and have lots of sex.

Speaking of Sanctuary, The Five? Totally engaged in group sex. Multiple times. Also, Helen has slept with most important historical figures.

Rose and human!Ten had a rough start of their relationship until they grew a TARDIS and went on adventures in Pete’s World Universe.

Also, Christina de Souza and Sophie Devereaux are distantly related and Christina kinda idolises Sophie.

Seven dumped Chakotay shortly after arriving on Earth and she ends up hanging out with Janeway a lot. Depending on my mood, sex occurs.

Xena didn’t stay dead. Her and Gabrielle had lots of sex. (Okay, so my slash goggles are on tight enough to believe that the second sentence is canon for reals.)

Kim and Shego? They met up a few years after the series ended and hit it off. Kim and Ron’s breakup was mutual and took place shortly after graduating high school and going to separate colleges – turns out that long distance relationships were one of the few things not possible for a Possible.

Speaking of cartoons and college, Daria and Jane realised that their friendship ran a little deeper than either quite expected. College experimentation was enlightening and Jane revised her belief that she wasn’t bi.

Huh. I didn’t realise just how many of my headcanons involved femslash. It really shouldn’t have been that much of a surprise, though.

To The Moon
Fandom: Sanctuary
Genre: Gen
Characters: The Five
Word Count: ~650
Rating: G
Summary: The Five contemplate the distance to the moon on the cold night of a lunar eclipse.
A/N: So apparently it can take me nearly two months to write 700 words.  Good to know.  Thanks are greatly owed to jackwabbit – without her, the ending would have been quite weak indeed.  Though this fic would have been posted before Christmas….

“I wonder,” John mused as The Five formed a lopsided star in the snow and lay back to observe the cloudless heavens.  They had determined that, after missing the lunar eclipse in April, they would get prime seats for the one on the fourth of October.

It was a decision that had been in no small part influenced by Doctor Edward Moreau, the man declaring himself Helen’s rival, who had spent much of the spring months regaling anyone who would listen, and even those who would not, about how absolutely marvellous the April eclipse was.  For her part, Helen was quick to deride the barbaric doctor; despite her own experiments, which often pressed the boundaries of ethical science, she abhorred her colleague’s techniques.  Vivisection on abnormals, Helen had heatedly argued on many occasions, was an unnecessarily cruel procedure.

So, yeah, in a fit of insanity, I’ve decided to sign up for the Sanctuary Bingo.  Cuz clearly the flash fic comm wasn’t enough for me.  Oh god what am I doing I can’t focus on one fandom for more than a few months at a time and I’m so crap about writing fic anyway ahhhhh!  But, wait, art is allowed!  I… I can do art!

So, yeah, I have until July 1st to bingo this scorecard.  And any others that I may request.

Thomas Edison?

He’s going to be so much fucking fun. Tesla vs Edison!!!

And, for myself, this is the list of easy ones: Disney, ozone beatle, the main lab, gen, Edison, Ford, 1990′s, Bigfoot (abnormal), lizard creatures, WWI, The Cabal, Helen’s room, For King and Country, Will’s office, fluff and shape shifters.

And, awww, Twain and Steinbeck?  I’m so not a fan of Twain and, for Steinbeck, I’ve only read Of Mice and Men.  Gunna have to use the modern cast for those prompts.

[Sanctuary Fic] Coffee

03 Jan 2011 1 Comment

by Nikkiin writing Tags: barney, fanfic, gen, helen magnus, humour, james watson, one-shot, sanctuary

Fandom: Sanctuary
Characters: Helen, James, Barney
Genre: Gen, humour
Word Count: ~750
Rating:  G
Prompt: First Times
Summary:  Exhausted from days of straight research, Helen tries coffee.  It goes as well as could be expected.
Notes/Thanks: Thanks must be given to @puffandruffle on twitter for promptly answering my question as to where that scene with Will and Henry (though it was actually Ashley) watching the video with the protégé before Will was.  Say what you will about twitter, but it, and hashtags, make for an excellent source of ungoogleable information.  Written for the Sanctuary flashfic comm and, as I’m just using this comm as a writing exercise (ostensibly to write the Sanctuary characters I’m not as obsessed over, which I clearly just failed at), this is completely unbeta’d.  Feel free to point out anything wrong with it! Other than the lack of proper spacing between the first and second paragraphs – I have no fucking clue what’s up with my blog.

For over a century, Helen Magnus proudly avoided coffee.  She was quite derisive of the dark drink too, and was rather vocal about her distaste, initially much to the annoyance of her second protégé.  He was quite happily addicted to the swill and, in response to Helen’s unsubtle barbs, his intake had vastly increased.  He quickly took pleasure in tormenting his occasionally stuffy boss by going about the Sanctuary with a large coffee mug perpetually in hand and gleefully kept at for more than twenty years.  It had led to frequent debate between the two with Helen provoking Barney by stating that the smell of the bitter liquid was enough to give her a headache, and he would quickly reply with a snarky one liner and then the two would be off.

James, long used to their squabbling, simply blocked it out.  In two decades he had not heard a new argument from either party and, after unsuccessfully attempting to join in the first time he caught them bickering, he just sighed and carried on.  Clearly it was just one of their things and the detective was not one to begrudge Barney for staking that claim on Helen; he and her had an intimidating amount of shared history and quirks as it was.  From day one, it had been difficult, if not impossible, for outsiders to squirm their way into The Five’s circle and James was impressed at how deeply Barney had integrated himself into their lives.  Especially since it started with something as mundane, and loathed, as coffee.

So the time James and Barney caught Helen in the kitchen with a coffee mug at her lips came as a great surprise to all parties.

[Sanctuary Fic] Helen’s Heart

12 Dec 2010 3 Comments

by Nikkiin writing Tags: angst, fanfic, helen magnus, helen/james, james watson, john druitt, john/helen, one-shot, romance, sanctuary

Fandom: Sanctuary
Category: John/Helen, Helen/James, angst, romance
Spoilers: 3×08 – For King and Country
Word Count:  ~1300
Rating: PG
Summary: Despite it all, Helen never stopped loving John.
A/N: Thanks is owed to jackwabbit for the beta.  Without her, there would have been some rather… interesting… sentence structures.  Nevertheless, this was written (and posted) under the influence of a dreadful cold and complete exhaustion, so I’m not sure if it is up to my usual standards.

The first time Helen saw John after she shot him came as a complete surprise – none of the other four members of The Five had expected him to show up at the incredibly pompous (even more pompous than The Five themselves in their heyday) Oxford reunion.  After all, Helen, James and Nikola had only agreed to attend at the last moment – and on a whim at that.  Back then, there was still a thrill to be found in the indiscreet stares and whispers from those who were once their peers.  The Five, apart from John, who was somehow charming despite his brute strength and intimidating demeanour, were always outcasts from society.  In their school days, they were all reviled for various and petty reasons and had formed their own elite clique in response.

Now, well over a decade later, they were still a source of fascination and had even inspired the respect and awe they had so coveted in the past.  They basked in it, pleased beyond measure that they were the centre of attention, even if it was only supposition on how they had managed to not age a day since they last set foot in Oxford.

To the other attendees, the surprise of the night was that Montague John Druitt was alive.  They had all read that he had been found drowned in the Thames and some had even attended his funeral.  To his friends, the fact that he had survived Helen’s bullet didn’t come with that much of a shock – while there was a copious amount of blood on the scene, James had determined that none of the blood splatter possessed the right trajectory to have come from John.  Helen, being a physician, had privately double checked James’ conclusions by analysing the blood for the manufactured genetic abnormality that The Five shared.  It had come up clean – there were no traces of John’s blood mixed in with Molly’s.
