why_me_why_notTrying to do at least a little writing each day as I work on finishing up some bigger stuff.
The Old Guard, 100 words, prompt "This is a totally inappropriate soundtrack."
Joe looks out the back window, making sure the trio of black SUVs is following them. Hopefully there wasn't another vehicle that they missed now following the others. He hates that they're in separate cars, but it makes sense to try and keep Andy out of danger.
"I know we're immortal, but dying in a car crash is really unfun," he points out. "And this is a totally inappropriate soundtrack."
Nile laughs as they take another corner too fast. "First off, driver picks the music. Second, there is never an inappropriate time for Disney music, not even a high-speed getaway."

101 Ways to Get Lucky (In Love) by Lenore
Stargate Atlantis || Rodney McKay/John Sheppard || 18k
Rodney McKay is rich, gorgeous and at the top of his game—except someone just moved the goalposts! Now Rodney realizes he is sorely lacking the one status symbol that everybody seems to have…the perfect family. Rodney needs help, so he hires a relationship coach. Single-dad John Sheppard may be an expert, but not when it comes to his own relationships! And every day he spends with Rodney makes him wish that he could be the one to fill the vacancy in Rodney's life…
A Place on the Corner by anatsuno & Cesare
Stargate Atlantis || Rodney McKay/John Sheppard || 8467
Grounded by an injury, John Sheppard leaves the Air Force and, at loose ends, takes up running the bakery he inherited from his mother's family in Colorado Springs.
The Favored Son(s) by mutantleech
The Old Guard || Joe/Nicky || 24k
Crusade!Era Nicky and Joe are transported into the 21st century, and they meet their modern day counterparts. Yusuf struggles with the reality that his older self grew up to marry not only a man, but one of the invaders that killed his people. Joe can't stand how much of an asshole his past self is, and gets to be protective and coo over twice as many Nicolos. Nicky has the patience of an absolute saint. And after two years travelling through the deserts with a man who won't speak to him, Nicolo is a quiet, shadow of a person.
