My New Years' resolution for 2024 is to get back into fandom. It's been too long. This year sucked for entirely different reasons from last year. I have beloved WIPs I need to finish.
Prompt Me
I want to dribble-drabble for tumblr.
Give me things to write.
Asks are open. Not limited to the ships I tagged, but probably the fandoms.
Just rewatched the body swap episode of Eureka and it just...I love that episode so much. I love that cast so much. They did such a great job. Easily in my top 3 episodes, and very narrowly tops as my favorite.
It also reinforced my decision in fic to make Jack a little impulsive when it comes to matters of the heart. So there's also that.
I'm low-key hoping that some of the folks who read my recent Eureka fic get a hankering to reread it, only to find I've changed almost every instance of "Jack" in the narration to "Carter."
Give 'em my very own Mandala effect.
Comment on AO3: I can't wait to see where you go with this!
Me: I have no plans to write more Eureka fanfic at this time.
Me, 20 minutes later:

New Eureka AU fic!
I wrote a new Eureka fic over on AO3 to help establish a canon divergence AU that I'll be using as the basis for continuity in my Eureka fics going forward.
I love that series so much. I miss it. So I'm gonna write for it!
If you're interested, I hope you check it out and I hope it brings you nostalgia.
Rating: Teen and Up
Pairings: Jack/Nathan (with some bittersweet Jack/Allison because it's connected to canon)
Chapter count: 3
Warnings: None

Fargo: ...So we need someone to go crawling through the maintenance ducts and put this at the junction.
Carter:
Fargo:
Stark:
Stark: Well, Carter, you're up.
Carter: Oh c'mon! You just want to see me on my knees, don't you?
Stark: Well, it IS my favorite view, and it HAS been almost twelve hours-
Fargo: I don't-
Carter: I'll go. Just stop. Don't scar the kid.
Carter, climbing into duct: He's gonna need therapy at this rate.
Stark: Go get 'em, Tiger.
Allison: So are you ready for the Big Day?
Jack: Shhh, don't say anything. You'll jinx it.
Allison: I didn't know you were so superstitious.
Jack: Just...tell me there aren't any weather experiments going on that could ruin my wedding day.
Nathan: Don't worry, Jack, I've already postponed all tests that could negatively impact the weather until after Saturday. Our Big Day is safe.
Jack: But some experiments are still going?
Allison: Yes, but they shouldn't affect the weather on a large enough scale to affect your wedding.
Nathan:
Jack:
Jack: What's that look for?
Allison: ...Theoretically.
Jack: OH, C'MON.
Ok but What If...
Instead of channeling into Kevin’s body, the energy from the Artifact stayed in the Artifact and mysterious federal agents appeared and took it from Eureka for safekeeping...

Fargo: So what's it like living with Dr. Stark?
Carter: Oh, it's great, except for the shoes.
Fargo: The...shoes?
Carter: He has so many pairs of dress shoes.
Fargo: Well, that's to be expected, given his managerial position at GD-
Carter: They're everywhere. I see them when I close my eyes.
Fargo: But they're just shoes, right? They can't take up THAT much space-
Carter: Size 13, Fargo. All of them.
Jack: Okay. Go ahead.
Henry: Go ahead and what?
Jack: You know. Science the shit out of it.
Henry:
Henry: *sigh*
Henry: Okay, stand back.
Allison: Carter, are you okay? I heard there was another body swapping incident.
Jack: Oh, yeah, everything's good.
Nathan: Everything was fine as soon as I slipped into him.
Allison: Leave it to a super brain to save the day. But maybe...phrase it a little differently?
Jack:
Nathan: No, that was meant to be taken literally.
Allison:
Allison: That's so unprofessional, Nathan.
Nathan: We really "pounded out the problem."
Allison: I'm leaving.
Nathan: You could say we "rose to the occasion."
Zane: I've got a bone to pick with you, Carter.
Carter: Oh, here we go. What can I do for you, Zane?
Zane: Tell your boyfriend to put some clothes on, or at least get out of town square if he's just gonna stand around in his underwear.
Carter: Can't. He's doing an experiment.
Zane: What experiment? "How uncomfortable can he make the men of Eureka feel?"
Carter: What's wrong, Zane? Feeling a little inadequate?
Zane: If I say yes, will you tell him to put on some pants?
Carter: Probably not, no. After all, the experiment seems to be a success.
Oho. @mock-ing-bird
- Favorite thing about them: Have you seen this man? But I guess if we’re going with personality, it’s his confidence. The man is a walking ego.
- Least favorite thing about them: The man is...a walking ego.
- Favorite line: Pretty much any time he and Jack are of one mind. Runner up for Jack’s hallucination tell him he had size 13 shoes.
- brOTP: Nathan and Fargo, especially if they’re working on a project together.
- OTP: Jack. Jack 100%. No, wait, Jack 10000%.
- Random headcanon: His need to be the smartest person in the room often gets in the way of his romances. Whenever his significant other is better at something than he is, he studies that subject meticulously until he can tell them the theory behind it or even perform that task better. When he was with Allison, she noticed this habit, and just considered it a flaw of his. Jack, however, considers it a competition - an assertion of dominance. In this way, Jack and Nathan push each other constantly to be better.
- Unpopular opinion: I was okay with Nathan dying. He wasn’t the easiest character to like, and it didn’t really feel like they were trying to fix that problem. Because there was no real shift in his character, I was okay with them dropping him and adopting new antagonistic characters.
- Favorite picture/gif of them: (Honestly because of when the show aired, the pickings are slim here. I promise it isn’t just thirst, I do have reasons behind this choice.)
