askerian | and now, A MEME. >O

aaaaaaaaaasobored oh god. and i can't wriiiite attention span is shot aaaaaaaaaa.

Therefore!

Pick one of my stories and I will tell you the first lines of its prequel OR sequel (choose one!). Even if I was never actually planning to write a prequel/sequel. Even if it already has a prequel/sequel -- I'll give you the first line of another version of its prequel/sequel!

~~And this time I'll really try to keep it short, not like the last time I tried those. >__>~~ HAHAHA I jest.

For reference purposes, here's the list of my longfic masterlists and the ficlets who already do have sequels/prequels of their own. If there's a ficlet that's not on there you can request something for it anyway! You don't even have to link me first, I'll find it (if I truly was the one who wrote it, cause i've gotten confused about that stuff before. XD) Or there's my ffnet page. Any fandoms, go go go.

"It's coming in fast," Lorne commented as calmly as he always did as the fighter plane shrieked down toward them, faster and faster until a crash seemed almost inevitable. Only his and Sheppard's unworried reaction kept their men's feet soldered down to the deck (it did help staying unflappable that he'd seen that style of piloting before), and then the whole plane seemed to break into pieces in mid-air.

And reshape. Still in mid-air.

Even before the robot's huge feet thumped down, the whole troop of Preventers -- twenty-five men, all told -- had out of pure, immediate spinal reflex, thrown themselves down on the ground, down behind the scientists and their equipment, or even down overboard into the sea, to the unanimous panicked cry of "IT'S A GUNDAM!"

Lorne looked at Sheppard. Sheppard looked at Lorne. They both looked at McKay and Zelenka. McKay seemed to have been struck speechless, which only underlined the utter what the fuck of the situation.

"Oh man, that takes me back," said Maxwell through the external speaker. Beside Zelenka, Yuy snorted, and went back to fiddling with the readings he was getting. The cockpit cracked open; Maxwell swung out and made his cheerful way toward the group, his smile full of teeth that didn't foretell anything good for Lorne's peace of mind. "Hi guys, Zero-Two at your service! By the way, moustache-dude, awesome survival skills there, if there's one flesh and blood person a Gundam might step on and not squish into paste, it's probably Zero-One."

Storm's eyes bugged out as he looked at Yuy, standing right there amongst the gathered scientists, and then he threw himself backward like he'd just been handed a live snake. Which was actually a pretty smart reaction Lorne wished more of the Marines could learn without needing an object lesson first...

Lorne could feel a headache starting already, and from the arched eyebrow on Sheppard's face he wasn't going to take it in hand just yet. "Barr, Ziegel, Galienic, get Murghton and Fren out of the water. The rest of you, on your feet."

"So," Sheppard said, eyeing Yuy sideway. "That Zero-One codename is actually more like... Cher. Or Prince. Doesn't matter if it's basic or unimaginative, there isn't any need to be more to it than that. Isn't that nice to know."

" 'Oh, Gundam is just a sub-genre of Mobile Suit', wasn't it?" McKay added, favoring the approaching Maxwell with his own jaundiced look. Maxwell looked utterly unrepentent. The Preventers looked welded on the spot. Some of them -- big and overtrained enough to come up on top against a Marine -- even took a step back.

There were so many things Lorne hadn't needed to know regarding the background of their Gundam pilots, and from the look on Sheppard's face, a lot of things he might have guessed the shape of, but which hadn't come out of their mouths, or not with any details.

"Sir?" he said. "Almost dinner time, and they need to be shown to their bunks first; those two especially need to change into dry clothes." Preferably before they noticed the Gundam pilots weren't even twenty yet and none of the locals seemed to take them as any kind of threat, and embarrassment started yelling louder than survival. "Should we postpone this to tomorrow?" he said, in a way that made it so Sheppard knew it wasn't really a question.

"Why not. I have a feeling it's going to be a long story. You may go," Sheppard said to the Preventers, though he immediately threw his arm around Maxwell's shoulders so he wouldn't do the same.

"Aw, poo." Maxwell sighed, and then gave a little wave to the men Lorne was corraling back toward the hall. "Oh well. See you later, guys! Don't worry, I know where you sleep."

The last thing Lorne saw as he herded his men to the nearest transporter was Yuy slapping Maxwell over the head like a teenage boy to another teenage boy, and the giant robot silhouetted against the sky, eyes gleaming foxfire-green in the darkness of its helmet.

When they requested different quarters, with pretty transparent excuses, Lorne let them have those. He wasn't going to tell them that if Maxwell couldn't find them, Yuy probably would.

He seriously hoped pink dye would be the worst of it. Maybe if they were lucky the Wraith would attack first.

THIS IS ME SO NOT COMPLAINING.

First off: Major Lorne. We see so little from his perspective in the show, this was a nice change of pace from McKay or Sheppard's mindset.

Second: I seriously hadn't expected the Preventers to come into play, but boy was it worth it. IT'S A GUNDAM!!! XD I loved how they were silly but still hinted at the complexity and shittiness of theirs and the pilots' background on Earth (2!), which would explain the reaction. "I know where you sleep". *snicker* Aw man, Duo...XP

Also: worldbuilding factoids ^o^! Loving the little details, with the pier and tower names and so on.

Thanks for this (two comments-long!) drabble!

♥♥♥

I was just wondering what else could happen, and then, hey, maybe declassification on Earth 2! XD That'd mean they can channel people who still want to fight toward acceptable targets, such as evil aliens bent on using them as snacks. Duo's being mean to the ex-Ozzies though, they're supposed to all be on the same side now! it was just too funny to pass up. XD

(re: details. I AM A NERD. no other reason. XD)

I...I love you SO MUCH. That was awesome! Of course Heero and Duo would totally downplay the fact that they were sorta-terrorists and that the Gundams were basically the baddest piece of killing machine on their world (Earth 2. Ah, the egocentrism is so true-to-life), feared by all and sundry, but especially all.

That was the best use of "It's a Gundam!" I've ever seen in fanfic. And cheerfully menacing Duo is amazing. (Where did Duo come from? Did he come after Heero? Is there 1x2ness?)

This may be my favorite series of yours, although I can't help but love just about everything you write.

*feels loved yay* ♥

I think the Earth guys know they used to be terrorists/guerilla agents, they just don't mind much, but it was safer for Earth 2 if Earth 1 believed the level of tech in the gundams was more widespread. Less of a temptation for bad apples such as the NID to go over there and see what they can force out.

There is no official pairing in this fic, though there is Heero/Duo interaction that will likely end up full of subtext, knowing myself. XD Not saying how come he's here, tho, it's spoilerific.

♥ it's not really a series yet, though. I think I'll write another oneshot, maybe two, and that'll be all. I don't have enough plot for more. .__.

*adores*

and now, A MEME. >O
