icarusOh whee! I saw this meme in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tripoli8's journal and just had to:
Ask me what happens after the end of one of my stories.
Any fandom, Harry Potter, Stargate, you name it. Yes, they all continue in my mind.
ETA: Aww, c'mon guys. Here. I'll make it easier: a simple listing of all my storoes.

Date: 2005-11-01 06:34 pm (UTC)Ron's apologetic, but Harry doesn't mind really, even if he doesn't understand it.
The Ministry makes a grab after the Malfoy fortune so Draco's money is tied up in the courts. The attempts to seize his assets because the Malfoys were "war criminals" was blocked by Harry as a favour to Ron. Now the big hurdle is that no one has been able to declare Lucius legally dead, so Draco can't inherit. Draco made the mistake of telling them that Lucius went through that door. Fortunately, since Lucius is "still alive" Draco still gets his regular allowance, which he considers paltry.
What Draco doesn't tell anyone (including Ron) is Lucius used those doors to go between Malfoy Manor and the Ministry. So that means the door still exists. It wasn't destroyed in the explosion, just one entrance was. There is another entrance somewhere at Malfoy Manor.
Draco takes Ron to an old hideaway in a hidden chamber behind a gothic cathedral. There he gives Ron a heavy ring and has him sign papers. Ron makes the obvious assumption, but what Draco has done is make him his heir. He asks Ron to "look after things." He doesn't tell Ron, but he plans to go find his father.

Date: 2005-11-02 04:45 am (UTC)Let's see... Scarred takes place about 6-8 weeks after Celebrate Life. Ron moves in a couple weeks after that. Well, he spends the night. Then he spends another night. Then he goes home. Then he spends the weekend. At which point staying at home seems stifling so he goes home, picks up a few things, then only drops by every now and again to pick up more things he left at home. The "moving in" process takes the better part of a month.
The part about Draco making Ron his heir doesn't happen until a good eight months after that.

Date: 2005-11-01 07:11 pm (UTC)Ron, Harry and Percy have a very tense lunch (Ron makes Percy pick up the tab) where a tooth-grittingly polite Ron asks them what the fuck is going on? He gets really ticked off when it turns out Hermione knew all along ("What? You don't think you could trust me?") and the 'gay thing' is pretty much a non-issue compared to that. Although he is not happy at all at the idea that Harry's with... "Harry. That's my brother." Once they hash out the trust issue the fact that Harry's with Percy strikes him as somewhat incestuous. Harry's family in Ron's mind and somehow Ginny is okay, but Percy makes him squirm. He tells Harry that he "doesn't want to know" what they got up to, a contradiction that leaves Harry and Percy blinking at each other.
"Ron," Harry says, recovering first. "That's exactly why I didn't tell you."
Those two, by the way, continue to go out.
Well. Okay, despite Percy's bold words he's not really willing to go out "dressed," but Harry slowly talks him into going to Muggle gay bars and other "safe" places. Slowly they get braver and Percy starts keeping a collection of newspaper clippings of himself in femme with Harry. He gets a little jealous of his alter-ego weirdly enough, because she gets more press coverage than Percy-as-Ministry-employee, even though all she does is hang on Harry's arm. On the other hand, he looks gorgeous in femme.
It's only a matter of time before those two go too far.

Date: 2005-11-02 12:30 am (UTC)What happened in between those two stories is that Ron didn't leave well enough alone. His manner towards Snape became very casual and rather inappropriate, which pissed Snape off. Ron couldn't help it though. After the initial shock they'd had a nice time and he couldn't look at Snape the same way (nor could he resist teasing him about the silk shirt).
Snape cracked down on him in class, gave out any number of punishments, lines, forced him to drink foul-smelling potions, split Ron and Harry up and made Ron work with Neville -- but nothing worked. Ron would smirk and suggest, "Why don't you give me detention?" which was the last thing Snape wanted. The other Gryffindors couldn't believe it and the classroom started to get a little out of control. Ron started to get off on the power he had (and his new-found popularity). Then Snape announced an entire month of detention for Ron... and Ron just grinned.
Until he discovered his detention was with Filch.
But Snape couldn't resist gloating over Ron, so would pop by to inform him of a spot he missed, let him know of future tasks, or delightful ones he'd be revisiting.
At this point it had become a battle of wills.
So Ron turned up the heat, just to shut Snape up. He started scrubbing the Dungeon floor (his task for that night) shirtless. Snape stopped by... and didn't say a word.
"What's that? Cat got your tongue, Snape?" Ron smirked.
Scowling, Snape folded his arms. "Well, if you plan to put on a show...." He settled in to watch, and Ron turned red with embarrassment.
It escalated from there and bled more and more into the classroom, until even Ron's friends were wondering what the hell was going on. Finally Snape met Ron in Hogsmeade for private this-has-got-to-stop detente. This was a bad mistake, as they wound up spending the night in a hotel room together.

Date: 2005-11-02 03:28 am (UTC)Well, immediately after the flight Jack takes Daniel to a bar where the pilots hang out. He watches him treat this environment with the same open curiosity he has about all foreign cultures, and is very amused, speculating in pseudo-Daniel-speak just what he's seeing. Jack leans back with his beer, enjoying introducing Daniel to this corner of his world. He's also hard as a rock but takes it as a flying after-effect; after all, he used to take his girlfriends up and then practically fuck them through the mattress when he got home.
Later Jack introduces Daniel his favourite teams. Then teaches him the "secret to inedible hamburgers" (interspersed with Daniel's mocking yet amused note-taking). He takes Daniel to Charlie's grave (the first and last time he's ever visited since the funeral, he doesn't understand why it was important that Daniel see though it felt like something had come full circle).
He and Daniel go to Chicago, where Daniel gives him a tour of U of C and Jack takes Daniel to his old house (now torn down for condos) and school ("God I hated it there" -- "High school is cruel and unusual punishment" -- "Kind of an incarceration, isn't it?" -- "Yours even looks like a prison... I've only counted four windows" -- Jack laughs, "Yeah, it does. The school colors should be black and white stripes. Or those orange jumpers they've got now.").
Then Jack takes Daniel to a White Castle where he used to hang out ("This is where you learned the inedible hamburger recipe, huh?") and then they walk along Lake Michigan with the wind cutting through them, throwing rocks into the waves, trying to figure out if they ever lived in Chicago at the same time without realizing it. But no, Jack was in the Air Force by the time Daniel started grad school. It strikes Jack that they could have so easily missed each other and never met, it was so unlikely. "Yes, I'd call meeting on another planet unlikely...." -- "Technically we met in Cheyenne Mountain." -- "I don't count that," Daniel says. "I didn't know you till Abydos." He looks at Jack very directly with those clear, clear eyes. And it hits Jack that he doesn't know what's happening here. So he challenges Daniel to a race, straight into the wind. Daniel wins and they collapse to the beach, Jack complaining about how easy this used to be and too many god-damned missions. Looking over at Daniel his heart is pounding (from the running, dammit) and he wants to build a bonfire on the beach and stay out here all night. But that's not a good idea given the other thoughts that keep coming to mind.
Back at the hotel, Jack is quiet and feels smothered by Daniel. He doesn't know how it happened but somehow Danielness has filled up every corner of his life. For the rest of their stay he's rude and curt and moody, because he's heartbroken. He has to root Daniel out because Daniel and these 'other thoughts' have become inextricably linked. Back home he puts a serious dent in the pantry door, snapping the top pivot which rips the bottom hinge in half. The following day a rather confused and stung Daniel stops by to talk and finds Jack repairing it. "You did that?" They end up spending a comfortable evening together, Daniel leaves happy, and Jack feels depressed.
(cont'd)
the rest
Date: 2005-11-02 03:57 am (UTC)Daniel finally confronts him, says Jack is driving him crazy. Jack's out of reach, fine, he knows that but Jack has to stop testing the boundaries, toying with him.
Hunh? In his effort at "renouncing" Daniel and building up his own mental substitute it never once occurred to him that the real Daniel had even noticed, let alone was... was. Was. Would and could. And wanted to. Oh yeah. Oh hell. Oh shit.
So he lies and tells Daniel that he has no clue what he's talking about.
At the SGC Jack harrasses Daniel with all sorts of double entendres, still touching -- at this point Jack has no clue what going on in his own head except that he trying to do some sort of aversion therapy, or immersion therapy, or maybe something like what his dad did when he caught Jack smoking and made Jack smoke an entire pack until Jack was on the ground, puking. And Daniel is pissed. Sam gives Jack the big-eyed stare -- and god, she's cute -- and Teal'c looks disapproving though that could be Teal'c's usual face. One can never tell.
Jack goes to bug Daniel in his office leaning over him while he's reading, getting a hell of a thrill while irritating Daniel at the same time -- and Daniel sits up and leans back. So they start a game of physical chicken, angry and frustrated, yet Jack (and apparently Daniel) enjoys it as well.
Then one night at Daniel's place Jack's so turned on he wants to go to Daniel's bathroom and beat off but he's pretty sure that's not up there in Miss Manners' book (not to mention a little hard on the hand towels) and he leaves. Just leaves.
Outside on the sidewalk with the cars driving by, Daniel catches up to him. "What the fuck am I doing, Daniel?"
"I don't know."
He's had too much to drink so he takes a cab home, at his place he wants to break the pantry door again but it took three hours to fix and his downtime was all too rare. He pull out a beer, sits on the couch and decides: 1) he's gay, or bi, or whatever because, 2) he wants Daniel. Not in any temporary fantasy sort of way either. This has some serious ramifications because 3) Daniel wants him. He'd made that pretty damned clear.
Okay. Upside. Daniel has clearance, so there was no worries about telling him about what he did for a living, no wall between him and the rest of his life. It had been a problem for Sara sometimes, he had to admit. Downside? Well, there was the obvious.
Jack works it out in his mind, then picks up the phone to call Daniel, forgetting it's 5am. But Daniel doesn't pick up. Disappointed, Jack goes to turn off the porch light, only to discover Daniel's parked in the driveway. Asleep. It's dawn and they have to go to work the next day, so Jack gets Daniel up, gets Daniel into his bed, makes coffee.
Two hours later Daniel emerges, scratching his head and looking like he doesn't know where he is, and Jack beams at him. That just looks... right... to have a sleepy Daniel padding through his kitchen with a serious case of bedhead and morning breath. He gives Daniel coffee to jumpstart his brain and says simply, "It's okay, Daniel. It's okay."

Date: 2005-11-02 04:29 am (UTC)"You're supposed to have sex on your wedding night, right?" Jack asks, running his hand through his hair. It stands straight on end and he squints at Daniel.
"A lot of people don't, actually. Statistically speaking. The tradition began as part of a ritual to be sure the union was, um, fruitful..." Daniel took a breath and started talking very rapidly, the way he did when he was nervous. ".. anyway, the new couple had to..." he made a vague spinning gesture with his hands that only Jack could interpret as sexual "... as soon as possible because they were expected to produce offspring within a year or less or else the marriage could be called off."
"Daniel..."
"Hmm?" Daniel stopped mid-babble.
"I'm not going to expect you to be 'fruitful' tonight."
"Oh thank god. I'm beat." He fell back on the bed and let out a breath. "The survey I read was in People magazine but I'm sure they used a reasonable sample size. These days weddings are so stressful, most couples just want to sleep."
"Does blowing one or three Goa'uld motherships count as stressful?"
"I'd call it a full day."
"Good." Jack dragged the covers out from under Daniel and climbed in under them, still dressed. It was a good thing he'd taken off his shoes a minute ago because right now he'd sleep with his boots on. They lay there in blissful silence for a moment. Then Jack had to ask, "You read People?"
"Shut up, Jack."
"I mean, I knew I'd learn some ugly secrets once we tied the knot, but whew--"
"Jaaack."
