Kate Heightmeyer Drabble-a-thon is a GO!!  
So, I shuffled around with the prompts and set them in some kind or order that I hope will make sense. But first I shall start with the posting instructions and whatnot.

You may take as many prompts as you like and write as many fics as you like. No need to claim. You can even take several prompts and pour 'em into one (long) fic if you like. Just don't forget that the main focus should be on Kate (Stargate Atlantis), Fleur (Forever Knight) or Alice (Star Trek Voyager).

You may post your ficcie in the comments of this post, or if you prefer to link to it that's fine too, as long as I and everyone else know where to look for it. I intend to close this at the end of February, the 28th to be exact, and then create a masterlist at the beginning of March.

Subject-line should include the title, characters (pairing or otherwise) and a rating.

Anything is game, as long as you keep it civil. Don't go bashing a character in your fic, or write underaged persons doing overaged things with adults... You know what I mean.

Okay, I think that's it... Now onto the prompts:

STARGATE ATLANTIS

morning ritual
good girls go to heaven, bad girls go wherever they please
dancing barefoot

FIRST LINE

"And that's your favourite TV program because?"

Kate had managed to break her morning choices into pretty much coffee or orange juice. She really didn't need any more things to think about that early in the morning. And what was standing in front of her really didn't fall into the coffee or orange juice category. Or even breakfast at all.

She had no idea when she had started feeling so tired. It was so much part of her now she couldn't imagine never feeling this way.

Three Graces; Kate, Elizabeth, Teyla; G
prompt: dancing barefoot

Three Graces

Butterflies fluttered amongst the swaying grasses and nodding bellflowers. Kate curled her bare toes against the warmed earth, and reached for another strawberry from the picnic spread before them. Elizabeth laughed at something Teyla had said.

Kate, feeling the sweetness of the berry burst against her tongue, watched the butterflies enviously. So brief, so bright: they seized the day, for this was their only day.

Rising, she spread her arms and lifted her face to the sun. Eyes closed, she began to sway.

“Kate?”

She smiled down at the others' surprise, and reached out her hands. "Come. Dance with me!"

War Stories, Kate/Elizabeth, G
A day late, but I hope you'll forgive me!

prompt: Kate/Elizabeth, late night talks

War Stories

Elizabeth leaned back in the chair, swirling the fiery Athosian aquavit around her mug. Kate sprawled on the bed, leaning on one arm, a hand buried in her tousled hair.

"So, then what happened?" Kate took a sip of her own drink.

"I quit." Elizabeth hoisted her mug in the air. "That was one job I was very glad to leave behind." She grinned. "What about you? Any bad bosses?"

Kate laughed. "How long have you got? My first TA post was for a prof who had to refill his hipflask between classes. Then there was the department head who...."

A Matter Of Taste, Kate & Teyla, G
prompt: Kate & Teyla; chick flicks

A Matter Of Taste

"Ronon and I have watched several Earth movies with Colonel Sheppard and Doctor McKay." Teyla sounded like she'd been less than enthralled by the experience.

Kate rolled her eyes. "Don't tell me. Explosions? Fights? Lots of gore?"

Teyla nodded. "When I asked if all Earth movies were like this, he said something uncomplimentary about... chick flicks, I believe he called them."

Kate grimaced. "Yeah, well, maybe he has a point. Some of those are just... bad. But there's plenty of good stuff." She grinned. "Let's go see what's in Atlantis's DVD library – there must be a few classics in there."

Sparring, Kate/John, G
Sorry for the lack of drabbles. My stupid muses have been hiding the past few days. :-(

But I managed to coax them out today. Yay! \0/ (I'm hoping they'll make another appearance later....)

prompt: Kate/John, storm

Sparring

"You did what?" John glared at Kate.

"I was fine."

"She might have hurt you!"

"Don't be silly! Teyla wouldn't––"

"She's hurt me often enough." John unconsciously rubbed his elbow.

Kate's lips twitched, but she managed not to laugh. Injured male pride? Or jealousy? "Teyla was just showing me some moves. It was more like Tai Chi." She stepped closer, resting her hands on his chest. "What's really eating you?"

He drew her against him. "I just...." He shrugged. "You're part of my life that has nothing to do with... war. Fighting. Guess I want to keep it like that...."


(PS: It was hard to get these two arguing...!)

Romantic Lead; Kate/John, PG
Hopelessly behind still but hoping to catch up. (You've got Kate/John again, because it's the easiest thing to coax my muse into writing when she's being unhelpful.)

prompt: Kate/John; books

Romantic Lead

"War and Peace?" Kate picked up the heavy volume lurking on John's nightstand and blew dust off it.

"Kinda got stuck around page fifty," he admitted.

Kate laughed. "Better than me. I only got as far as...," she riffled through the book, "... page thirty eight. And it was a class assignment. Thank God for CliffsNotes ." She put the book down. "So, why d'you bring it?"

"It was long." He grinned. "What did you bring?"

"Pride and Prejudice. Thought I'd be consoling myself on lonely nights with Mr Darcy." She sashayed over to John. "Haven't opened it since I got here...."

Euology, Kate, G (post-Doppelganger)
prompt: sunlight

Eulogy

She brought sunlight.

Sometimes like the first touch of dawn after a long dark night: a word, a gesture, her endless quiet patience with those who had seen too much and done too much.

At other times, she lit the city with the slanting beams of a summer afternoon: laughter, smiles, her joy at life and living and loving and friendship.

In private, she burned with the fierceness of noon, giving and receiving pleasure without restraint or reserve.

Harsh duty might cloud her, but still she gave light for others to work by

She is gone; now comes the night.

Courage Of Another Kind, Kate/[reader's choice], PG
Yay, my muse is talking to me today. \0/ Only one day behind now.... This was deliberately written to be non-specific so readers can insert the character of their choice. *g*

prompt: waiting

Courage Of Another Kind

The waiting was the worst part. Staying behind while the team was off world, not knowing what was happening to them, when they'd return... if they'd return. So much had happened to them, so many surprises here in Pegasus, that even the most innocuous meet-and-greet could send her imagination into overdrive.

Hearing about it afterwards, when she lay close to another beating heart, feeling warm breath on her face, was not so bad. No matter what scrapes the team had got into, or what new woe they'd set in chain for Atlantis, they'd returned.

No, the waiting was the worst.

Hidden Treasure, Kate & Teyla, G
prompt: Kate & Teyla, chocolate eggs

Hidden Treasure

"It is very pretty," Teyla held up the elaborately-fashioned box and turned it around, "but what is it?"

"It's an Easter egg."

"Easter?"

"It's this holiday we have. Kinda like Christmas, except it commemorates Jesus's resurrection rather than his birth."

"Resurrection?" Teyla was still examining the package. "This Jesus had an eventful life."

Kate smiled. "That he did. The egg's really more of an ancient symbol of spring and rebirth rather than anything to do with Jesus." She coughed gently. "Uh... there's chocolate inside the foil."

"Why did you not say so before?" Teyla eagerly began to unwrap the package.

Tricia: kate[info]triciabyrne1978 on February 19th, 2009 06:01 am (UTC)
Rituals in Retrospect; Morning Ritual; G
So... yeah... you know I suck at DRABBLES right?

~~~

Rituals in Retrospect

Kate stretches as the warm morning sun shines in through her window. She's always been one to wake up with the sunrise and figures that moving to another planet shouldn't change her lifelong habits. She takes her time getting out of bed, sometimes enjoying the feel of waking slowly while the sun starts its trek across the room, sometimes making good use of the natural light to relax and get some reading in before she dives in to her hectic schedule.

Her coffee pot is set to automatically perk one fresh cup of coffee approximately fifteen to twenty minutes after the sun rises. She'll have more when she grabs breakfast in the commissary, but that is instant and not nearly as appealing to her palate. She sips her coffee and enjoys the warmth of the sun, waking up in a slow, leisurely fashion.

Once her coffee is finished, it's time for Yoga. The calm, peacefulness of the routine has always helped to center her day. When her Yoga routine is off, the day never goes as planned. It might be considered a superstition by some, but for her it is commonplace.

Since coming to Atlantis, her showers have been quick. More about need and cleanliness than actual relaxation. She longs for a time when she can take a long, hot shower and stand under the stream for upwards of twenty minutes. For now, she's usually out in under ten, less if she decides that she really doesn't need to wash her hair that morning.

She dresses in her uniform and heads to breakfast once she's out of the shower. Lately, it's become a bit of a habit to meet up with Teyla or Elizabeth, sometimes both. The women of Atlantis seem to flock together. Kate doesn't think this is a bad thing, just finds it to be an interesting study in human (and sometimes not so human) nature. Cadmen and Dr. Brown, sometimes a few of the other women will join them, but more often than not it's Teyla, Elizabeth and Kate. The men flit in and out, but they usually have their own little clique. It's not an unfriendly atmosphere, quite the contrary, just a point she notices.

She drinks more coffee, sips at her juice and eats her fruit salad and eggs. She enjoys the company and the friendly banter that goes on before the day really begins and she can be prepared for all hell to break loose at any given moment. In retrospect, things aren't all that different in one galaxy or another.

Unconventional; Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go wherever they please; um... Adultish.
Unconventional

Kate remembers Sister Agnes sternly chastising her in the girl's room of St. Elizabeth's Prep after the nun had caught her and Jenny Byers sharing a cigarette.

"Remember, Katharine, only good girls go to Heaven…"

Kate hadn't bothered to tell the woman that she had already given up on that option. As the song later told her, 'good girls went to heaven while the bad girls went everywhere'. Kate definitely wanted to go and see a lot more than Heaven.

That day in the girl's room, it had been the inside of Jenny's thigh. It was a good thing for Sister Agnes that she hadn't come in about five minutes earlier.

At the time, she never would have thought that her ambitions would take her to another galaxy. There was a lot about her life that she never would have been able to predict at the ripe age of eighteen. Something told her that winding up in bed with Elizabeth Weir and Evan Lorne, really should have been on the list the moment that she met them.

Sometimes it was impossible to pinpoint the exact moment that everything changed between them. Sometimes it didn't seem like such a difficult thing to do. When she was curled up in her bed, Elizabeth's arm around her midsection, her fingers splayed nicely across the plane of Kate's stomach while Evan's head rested on her thigh, Kate really didn't much care.

In a universe where they'd lost and gained so much so many times over, it was nice to fall back on something that could be deemed the slightest bit familiar, if not completely conventional.

A Higher Plane of Existence; Kate/Elizabeth; PG-13
prompt: Kate/Elizabeth, Ascension

A Higher Plane of Existence

"Would you want to?" The late afternoon sun striping the room was making Elizabeth sleepy.

"Ascend?" Kate lifted her head and met Elizabeth's inquiring gaze

"Yes."

Kate considered the question, a faint frown creasing her forehead. "Does it mean leaving behind the flesh?"

"That's the idea."

Kate's lips twitched. "In that case...," she traced a fingertip lightly down Elizabeth's arm, "I don't think I'm ready for it just yet."

Elizabeth slid her hand around the back of Kate's neck, gently tangling her fingers in the other woman's hair, and drew her closer. "Me neither," she murmured, her lips against Kate's.

Scintillating; Kate/Chuck(nician); G
prompt: Kate/Chuck(nician), geeky

Scintillating

"...way light bends, so if the atmosphere the light's traveled through to reach you is slightly different, you get a slightly different image. And the atmosphere isn't uniform, and it's constantly moving as well, which means the composition of the atmosphere between you and the star is always changing. So the image you see is always changing, which is why...." Chuck's voice trailed off as he caught Kate's amused smile. "...stars twinkle. You just wanted to look at them, didn't you?"

"Not just at them." Kate stepped closer, her smile turning mischievous. "I like a man who knows his stuff...."


[Note: huge credit to the Astronomy Picture of the Day site for a lovely clearly explanation of Why stars twinkle for me to crib from.]

Mmmm... Kate and Lorne make a nice couple, don't they? And I really enjoyed what you came up with for the "daily mishaps".

Memories; Fleur & Nicholas de Brabant, Kate; SGA/FK; G
This is unbeta'd for the moment but I intend to have it done so but I really wanted to get it in. If you see any mistakes you always point them out to me.

prompt: Lookalike!Fleur sends Nick into a cascade of memory.

The night was still young, when Nick left his apartment. He glanced down at his watch and smiled. He would be right on time, Natalie wouldn’t have to wait this time. He’d make sure he would be on time, not like last time when an unexpected run in had thrown him off balance.

~~~

He had been out with Schanke on a case, walking along the boulevard arguing about the motives of their murder suspect, when he had caught a sound he hadn’t heard in a very long time. The laughter had come from across the street. A shiver had run down his spine and he had stopped dead in his tracks. Schanke had turned to him, looking all confused as to why his partner had suddenly stopped walking. Nick had turned real slowly, afraid of what he might see. Someone might be playing tricks on him. In fact he didn’t put it past Lacroix to play with his mind like that. He glanced across the street, finding a small group of women standing in front of a window, giggling over what was on the other side of it. He had recognized it as the chocolate store Natalie wouldn’t shut up about. He couldn’t make himself move, other than his eyes following her every move. And then she had turned and his breath had caught in his throat.

“Fleur...”, he had whispered to the wind. As if she had heard him, the woman had turned to face him. His gaze had been fixed upon her. She had looked so much alike. This is how she would have looked if the sickness hadn’t gotten to her. Beautiful and happy. He had felt the sadness of her loss creep into his heart once again, his little sister so young still. He, however, had shaken his mind free from its trip down memory lane when he had noticed the small group had been on its way to his side of the street.

They were still laughing and giggling as they had stepped onto the pavement, right in front of him. She had gazed up at him, smiling politely. It had been close when he had caught himself wanting to step forward and found out whether it really wasn’t some trick of the mind. Lacroix was after all one of the most powerful and oldest vampires he knew. But she was real, looking so much alike and yet so very different.

“Come on, Kate! We should hurry. We don’t want Nathan to think we got lost.” One of her friends had called out to her, breaking whatever spell there had been between them.

“Again.” Someone else had added to the line, causing the women to giggle again.

She had inclined her head, turned towards her friends and followed. Nick had let out a deep breath he hadn’t even been aware he had been keeping in. He had glanced up at the stars, remembering her thirst for knowledge, to know what lay beyond them. He remembered how she would swing herself around his neck when he came home from the crusades. He remembered their last night together when he had told her to let go. When he had revealed himself to her, when he had taken Lacroix away from her. His little sister, his little flower.

“Hey Nick!” Schanke had called out to him. “What’s going on? Natalie is waiting for us, you know.”

“Yeah...”, he had glanced at the small group disappearing around the corner one last time, noticing she had stopped, looking at him, before she was pulled along again. “I’m coming.”

~~~

Natalie stood in her doorway, leaning against the side. “You’re late.”

Nick glanced down at his watch and smiled. “No, I’m right on time.” He walked past her, looking back as she closed the door and followed him in.

“So, what was it that you wanted to tell me?” She sat down beside him.

“I had a sister...” He started as he made himself comfortable right next to her. “…and her name was Fleur.”

Re: Memories; Fleur & Nicholas de Brabant, Kate; SGA/FK; G
I don't know FK (although maybe I should *g*) but I really enjoyed reading this. You give a really clear sense of how this encounter affects Nick, and I like the way you describe Kate (and the way she interacts with her friends) from an outsider's perspective. Very enjoyable - thanks for sharing!

(And I saw your other post - {{{hugs}}} on the uncooperative teddy bears.)
