Write a Day challenge, and more depressing QL fic.

Every so often I like to imagine Sam as a woman. My mind canon for Sam x Al in that situation is that they conceived, but Sam miscarried. (It makes imagining "8 ½ Months" with Sam as a woman kind of beautifully painful.) Al canonically didn’t want kids with Beth, and locoexclaimer suggested that he initially didn't want to keep the baby with Sam… It all converges in this.

So, heh heh… When I was writing this, I had Sam and Al sitting in the bar of my mind canon boarding house, chatting them up about this and working on it, and Al insisted on calling female Sam, "Sammy." I couldn’t get him to go with Sam and ended up finding it too cute to pass up. <3 Anything to keep him talking because I love writing for his voice. It's hard trying to write native New York and not be kicking myself, "It sounds stupid, Al would never ay that if you paid him" kind of a thing. But DATVOICE.

What is it with me and writing Al x 63!Sam fics in three parts? :/
Also, Scott Bakula's version of "Imagine" is heartbreaking.

Title: Moments
Author: TheCrazyAlaskan
Fandom / Setting: Classic Knight Rider, pre-series (England, 1940s)
Characters / Pairings: Florence Miles (see notes), Devon
Rating: K+ (one spot of language)
Genre: General, family
Relevant Quote:

If people would just demand that war be an absolute last plan of action, to be used after, and only after, all peaceful attempts have failed, this world would see far less bloodshed and fewer birthdays missed and more New Years spent together with loved ones and more summer fishing trips. – Rachel L Adams

Warnings / Notes: Prompt from locoexclaimer: Heralded as one of the trickiest styles to master, first person present tense. No introspect or character study because that’s the bitch’s way out.
Summary: Five moments in time—four in war, and one in peace.

Stole the bunny from locoexclaimer, I admit it. Just… for some reason, Flossie called out to me.

Should I be concerned about how awesome I find the thought of Devon being undercover in occupied France as a knife thrower? Y’know, fuck it. I refuse to be ashamed of how awesome I find that because Devon is awesome as FUCK.

I think I met the criteria. Even if I didn’t this is still a good fill. I love writing Flossie and Devon fluff. <3

I didn’t realize that Murdock was in all four of these until I looked at the notes for them. And then a lol’d because Murdock is a dear sweet thing who loves being in the limelight in my inner mind theater. And he’s incredibly fun to write for.

Chinese, for butterfly. I took the line from one of the NaNoWriMo forums earlier this summer and finally found a chance to use it. Please note that I had to turn to Google Translate for the Chinese, so sorry if it’s wrong. >>;

Hey, movie Murdock speaks Swahili; why can’t TV Murdock know enough Chinese to piss off BA? xD
Edit - 29 July 2011: Apparently, this is canon. Season II, Episode 13, "Maltese Cow": What can I say? One day I had this gonzo headache and before it went away I could read and speak Chinese.

I absolutely love writing this combination, Hannibal and Murdock. I sort of pulled from something I’ve seen on the A-Team kink meme, with Murdock being subject to electroshock therapy or being drugged. I liked the idea of the latter because it smell of dystopia, which I adore, so I ended up poking it with a stick.

The quote doesn’t have much relevance, but I do like it for Hannibal and Murdock’s relationship. <3 (Favorite non-slash duo for this fandom say wha?)

Told ya I’d play with this AU again. 8D

Not as happy with with this fill as I’d hoped, but it was kind of on the fly. Oh well.

Another idea pulled from the NaNoWriMo forums. The idea was just sweet.
