A/N 2: Many, many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] deborah_judge for all her feedback and encouragement!

Title: Love Outlasts Death
Pairing: Kara/Leoben
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,000
Summary: The way the world is, winter and summer happen at once. 

A/N: This was written as a holiday wishlist gift for [livejournal.com profile] deborah_judge who asked for "A ficlet set in my post-finale "Prayers to the God of Earth" universe." You should go read that first because (a) it is gorgeous and (b) otherwise this won't make very much sense!

Well, this process definitely got me to write something I wouldn’t have written otherwise. I wasn’t set against the pairing or I wouldn’t have accepted the swap in the first place, but I probably never would have come up with this. I spent a lot of time discussing how to write these characters (mostly with Deborah, my swapper!) in a way that I don’t really with Kara/Lee because I already know how I write K/L. There have also been some good conversations about the process in general on Epics. In the end, I wrote Kara/Leoben in a very different way than anything I ever wrote for Kara/Lee--formatting, tone, all of it isn’t something I would think to do for Lee. I suppose what I’m saying is that Leoben as a character influenced the way I wrote him. Maybe my jokes this week about Leoben taking over my brain aren’t really jokes :)

Spoilers for Prayer )

Alright, enough rambling for now. Thoughts? Do you all find you’re writing in a different tone/format/style since you’re not using your usual pairing? How’s it going?

(ALSO apparently there’s a con going on 25 minutes from my house this weekend and Tricia Helfer is doing a session in a few hours. I’m trying to decide how awkward I’d feel going alone...or if it’s worth the money since I’m going to be unemployed after this week.)

Title: Prayer
Rating: R
Pairing: Kara/Leoben
Word Count: 2,000
Disclaimer: This really, really, probably wouldn't have happened on the show :)
Author's Notes:
1) This is not my ship-swap fic! It is my swap pairing though.
2) I had no idea it was Deborah's birthday today until today, so this wasn't deliberately a present, but happy birthday anyway!
3) Leoben made me do it.
