I've been posting fic since the 1990s. For a long time, I posted on my own page, but personal pages seem to be a thing of the past, so now I post here and at AO3 under the same name.

I write "gen" fic, no "slash", and no "het". I also stick pretty close to canon characterisation. If you're looking for missing scenes, adventure stories, case stories, gap fillers for between episodes, you've come to the right place. I only post complete stories, and I don't hold chapters hostage for reviews. If you post reviews with a way for me to reply, I do respond, and I love to hear from readers.

Current fandom love is Stargate Atlantis, but you will find some others here as well.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the stories I'm writing.

A reader suggested that I add a listing of my series' reading order here since FFN doesn't have a function to group stories together.

TEAM BUILDING (Stargate Atlantis season 1)
Take one Air Force Major, add a Marine Lieutenant, an Athosian leader, and a brilliant scientist. Blend well until you make a team. Sounds easy, right?

Each story either continues from the end of an episode or fills in a gap between episodes in season one. While the main plots of the stories can stand alone, some subplots and characters carry over from story to story. Reading in order is recommended.

1. Seeking and Finding -- Building a new team is harder than it looks, especially when the entire base is willing to give you (unwanted) advice. Post s01e03 Hide and Seek (re-edited and updated May 2020)

2. Basics of Training (Or Never Take A Scientist Camping) -- Major Sheppard decides to take the team off-world for a little camping and training on how to work together. What could possibly go wrong with that? (re-edited and updated June 2020)

3. The Consequence of Caring -- After their rescue from the trapped jumper, Sheppard and Rodney need to deal with a few things. However, a cryptic message from one of the Athosians that Atlantis is about to sink may not give them enough time to help each other or save the city. Post episode s01e04 Thirty-Eight Minutes (re-edited and updated September 2020)

4. The Mark of a Warrior -- What was supposed to be a simple exploration on a tropical planet ends up more complicated when the team discovers an Ancient tower and people on a supposedly uninhabited world. (re-edited and updated January 2021)

5. Breaking Point -- A trade mission to one of Teyla's contacts has disastrous consequences for Sheppard and the team once they return to Atlantis. Post episode s01e05 Suspicion (re-edited and updated April 2021)

6. Gauntlet -- While taking a bit of a break on the mainland, Sheppard and Rodney find a mysterious waypost in the middle of nowhere which transports them into an Ancient gauntlet of tests where failure means death. This is a direct sequel to Breaking Point (re-edited and updated September 2021)

7. The Sound of Silence -- Cracks start to form in Sheppard's team after the Genii invasion. The situation only gets worse when a trade mission goes bad, leaving Rodney and an injured John separated from Teyla and Ford and the stargate. Post episode s01e10-11 The Storm/The Eye. (re-edited and updated March 2022)

8. Revelations -- As Rodney deals with the aftermath of a potentially life-changing accident, he and John find a new sort of trouble in one of the unexplored areas of Atlantis. (re-edited and updated November 2022)

9. Eidolon -- While still dealing with the deaths of McKay's two scientists, the team is sent to Eidolon, a supposedly haunted planet, to investigate a building covered in Ancient writing. Post episode s01e12 The Defiant One. (re-edited and updated August 2023)

10. To Err Is Human -- After the events on Proculus, Rodney and John try to figure out how to mend their friendship, but their reconciliation hits a snag when Rodney and Teyla are kidnapped while on an off-world mission. Post episode s01e14 Sanctuary. (re-edited and updated July 2024)

11. All Is Bright -- John and Rodney fight to survive after their jumper crashes while visiting one of the planets on the list of 'gate addresses given to them by the alternate reality Elizabeth Weir.

12. Last Chance To See -- With three Wraith hive ships closing in, Sheppard's team makes a last-ditch visit to an Ancient outpost, hoping to find a way to save Atlantis. Post episode s01e16 The Brotherhood

TEAM REBUILDING (Stargate Atlantis season 2)

Take one Air Force Colonel, add a brilliant scientist, an Athosian leader, and a Satedan named Ronon Dex. How do three team members learn to move on after losing Ford, and what does it take to convince their new member to stay?

Each story either continues from the end of an episode or fills in a gap between episodes in season two. While the main plots of the stories can stand alone, there are subplots and characters that carry over from story to story. There are also characters and plot points that have carried over from my Team Building series for season one. Reading in order is recommended.

1. Picking Up The Pieces -- With Atlantis safe from the Wraith, John, Rodney, Carson, and Elizabeth return to Earth, where a new commander is waiting, and someone is targeting SGC scientists. Post episode s02e01 Siege part 3. (This story is a crossover with Stargate SG-1)

2. Finding Home -- Free of the Wraith, Ronon must decide if he is going to stay in Atlantis or leave to seek vengeance alone. While still trying to make up his mind, he and Rodney are trapped in one of the city's towers, and each starts to learn more about the other as they wait for someone to find them. Post episode s02e03 Runner.

3. Learning The Hard Way -- It should have been a nice, easy mission to investigate an Ancient archive. Instead, John and Teyla find out the hard way the natives don't like visitors to their world, and Sheppard's team is still a man short.

4. One For All -- A humanitarian mission goes wrong in more ways than one when the Wraith attack and Rodney and Carson are missing. Post episode s02e04 Duet

5. To Forgive ... Divine -- Rodney is called back to Earth to explain his actions on Doranda. While there, someone from Sheppard's past decides to use him to seek revenge for John's actions during a failed mission in Afghanistan. Post episode s02e06 Trinity

6. Ripple Effect -- Still dealing with the fallout from Doranda and Belkan, the team finds more than they bargained for when they return to Lurra searching for a ZPM the Ancients hid on the planet.

7. All For One -- When an off-world mission goes sideways, Rodney is forced into a position that may destroy the trust he's been rebuilding with Sheppard, and John finally accepts that 'no one left behind rule' he put in place is there as much for him as it is for his team. Post episode s02e08 Conversion

8. The Ties That Bind -- Recovery from the Wraith enzyme does not go as smooth for his team as Sheppard could hope, and he takes everyone to the mainland for a little relaxation. Instead of a quiet few days, however, Sheppard, Rodney, and Ronon make a startling discovery, and Teyla begins to question her place among her people when a natural disaster strikes the Athosian village. Post episode s02e10-11 The Lost Boys/The Hive

9. Mind Games -- Sheppard's team is trapped by an Ancient machine and forced to relive some of their worst memories over and over again. With no way to shut the machine down, it's up to John to save the others before they all end up imprisoned by the device forever.

10. Charades -- Still trying to adjust after spending six months in the Ancient sanctuary, Sheppard is encouraged to take a break and returns to Earth with Rodney, who has been invited to speak at a science conference. While there, they run into an old enemy bent on revenge. Meanwhile, Ronon and Teyla find deadly trouble of their own when they assist with a scientific mission to an abandoned Wraith compound. Post episode s02e12 Epiphany

11. Lost and Found -- Sheppard's team visits a new planet hoping to secure a trade agreement, but they run into trouble when they find a secret Genii mining facility instead. Also, as the Athosian Festival of Light approaches, Teyla deals with the death of Charin and what that means not only for her but for her people. Post episode s02e13 Critical Mass

12. Undercurrents -- After his rescue from the sunken jumper, the last thing Rodney wants is to be around more water. Unfortunately, the team's next mission is to a planet made up of island city-states where Sheppard and McKay become unwitting pawns in a trade war. Post episode s02e14 Grace Under Pressure

13. Haven -- Michael has escaped, and the Wraith know Atlantis survived the siege. With their options running out and the growing threat the Wraith could attack the city at any moment, Sheppard's team travels to Haven, one of the planets from the Alt!Elizabeth's list, looking for a second ZPM to power the city's defences. During their search, the team discovers that Haven is hiding a few surprises, and Ronon is faced with a life-changing decision. Post s02e18 Michael

TEAM SHEPPARD (Stargate Atlantis season 3)

It's year three of the Atlantis expedition, and John, Rodney, Teyla, and Ronon face new challenges and old enemies. As a result, four disparate people become more than a team, they become a family.

Each story either continues from the end of an episode or fills in a gap between episodes in season three. While the main plots of the stories can stand alone, there are subplots and characters that carry over from story to story. There are also characters and plot points that have carried over from my Team Building and Team Rebuilding series' for seasons one and two. Reading in order is recommended.

1. Debts Of Honor -- After the events on Sateda, Sheppard's team is sent to Keota, a planet bearing more than a little resemblance to the American Old West. The simple meet-and-greet mission takes a dangerous turn, however, when the town the team is visiting is hit by bandits using Wraith technology. Post s03e04 Sateda

2. Fallout -- A mission to find another stargate for Rodney's 'gate bridge project seems to be just what the team needs to help everyone recover after John's encounter with Kolya and the Wraith. However, the seemingly simple mission to investigate an abandoned planet quickly runs into trouble, and John isn't as all right as he thinks he is. Post S03E07 Common Ground. *COMPLETE June 2024*

3. Justice For None -- *COMING SOON*

HOUDINI & DOYLE VIRTUAL SEASON TWO (Houdini & Doyle)

2. Spirit Obscura -- Harry and Doyle revisit their first case together as they try to solve the murder of a spirit photographer at an abandoned estate.

3. Enter Rumour -- Harry is accused of murder, and while Adelaide and Doyle try to figure out what really happened, Houdini has another problem, he's the next target.
