Author has written 29 stories for Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, NCIS, Numb3rs, Torchwood, and Bones.

Hello, welcome to my profile page, my name is Jessica. I'm not very good at these things.

You can find out more about me at www.xanga.com/Ulysses_Yankee.

Here is a guide to my stories:

When She's Gone: Something simple I wrote after watching Heroes again. I always thought there should be more DanJan story in the series, but I'll forgive them.

British Invasion: Formerly titled Oh Baby!, this was my near-disastrous attempt at a longer fic. It's rather AU and kind of weird, but I'm keeping it up as an example of how I used to write. I got bored writing it, which is not a good thing, because it turned out to be Mary-Sue crap. Primary example of why you finish something before you post it.

Standard Procedure: I was itching to do a Lornefic, and this just kind of popped into my head one day, so I wrote it.

An Encounter With Pain: This was originally going to be a five-part story, but the inspiration isn't there to continue it. I may one day return to it.

A Twist of Fate: Yet another short DanJan story about what might have happened before the movie.

Better Than Nothing: This is in production. I'm working on another chapter, but it turned out to be much darker than I had planned, and it's difficult to resurrect it. It is close to being done.

Scars: This begged to be written after I saw Tao of Rodney. I need to do more Ronon fics.

Gift of Life: Zelenka has just recently entered my peripheral vision, and I'm starting to warm up to him, so I thought he deserved a story.

The Former Mrs. Sheppard: A short little exploration of Sheppard's previous marriage. I wanted to do something that would set up Shep's father, and clear up what happened with Sheppard's wife. This was obviously written preOutcasts.

Death Be Not Proud: I was playing around on-line and came across John Donne's beautiful poem. Voila! An Atlantis fic came to mind. Kinda sappy, but wholesome fun!

Yes, No or Maybe: This was inspired by a conversation with some friends about whether or not we'd take ascension if it were offered. So naturally, I had to theorize about the team and what they would do.

To the War: I love the song Minstrel Boy, especially on the Black Hawk Down soundtrack. It seems to fit John Sheppard perfectly. Plus, I like to see more of him before Atlantis.

Crazy: Short, but really my first look at Carson's interaction with the team.

I Hate You: Thus started my obsession with episode 200 of SG-1. I think I watched it about twenty times.

Getting Daniel Back: However, the last season was always more about Daniel, and I wanted to explore more of the search for him.

You'll Come Back for Me: I really didn't intend to kill Tony on my first trek into NCISverse. And it was so much more sappy than what I wanted. But it kinda worked out that way.

Snow Dragons: A WIP that turned out better than I'd expected. I wanted to get further into the world of NCIS. It changed several times.

Celebrating Life: Tony is totally not himself in this fic, but it was more catharsis for me after my grandmother died.

Off the Grid: An extended version of Snow Dragons, which provided a greater look at The Unit and Bones.

Not Again: This isn't really a story, more of a decompression thing. I was looking for inspiration, and my muse took me to some interesting places. Don't take it too seriously, because I certainly didn't.

Trigger: My first Numb3rs story. While writing this, I realized I have a thing for secret organizations. Turned out okay, took several different turns, but I like it overall.

Just Mostly Dead: I thought the new season of Stargate: Atlantis had an interesting new theme, so I ran with it. Lots of snark between McKay and Sheppard.

Agent Orange: This was written mostly for my benefit as a pre-fic to Snow Dragons. If I ever do the sequel to SD, then this will be more useful.

Fragments of Memory: First Torchwood story. This show makes timelines nearly impossible, but I had this idea while reading a Doctor Who book, and it wouldn't leave me alone. This also marks my first attempt at mild slash.

Understanding: I loved "Whispers" and I felt the need to write a tag for it. Since I love Lorne as well, I made him a central figure.

Accipitral: The sequel to Trigger. Currently a WIP. I fell for Hawk a bit. DELETED!! Due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm done with this. For good.

A Coin is a Coin: I must have started and stopped this a dozen times. As a result, it seems disjointed to me, but I wanted to get Tony and John talking in a realistic setting. I may expand upon that idea some day.

The Shrouded Abyss: Yet another one that I finished long after I started. I love the dynamic that Daniel and Jack had, and I thought there needed to be some closure between them at the end of the episode. I was quite happy with it, but I received some very interesting criticism for some of the comments made. No offense was intended.

I am currently working on a Shep and Lorne whump fic, so be on the lookout for that in the future. There may also be something for Firefly at some point. I'm also looking into a short Unit fic, and maybe a crossover with Bones and NCIS but I'm a busy girl, so these things will be appearing slowly! If you have something specific you'd like to see, please let me know.

I'm also looking to be a beta reader. I have four years of newspaper editing under my belt, and I get violent when I see your instead of you're. If you would like a beta reader, please feel free to contact me.
