Sanctuary fic

[sholio]

In the store this evening, I actually thought about buying a French wine, or something a little fancier than my usual "whatever red wine is on sale when I'm in the mood for wine". In honor of Tesla, of course. *g* In the end, though, I went for my usual Yellowtail cab. I am cheap, and Tesla would NOT APPROVE.

And I wrote Sanctuary fic at sfaflashfic, a new Sanctuary flashfic community. Their very first challenge is "First Times", and I wrote this:

Title: An Exchange of Gifts
Word Count: 5300
Character/Pairing: Tesla + season three team; gen (well, perhaps a bit of one-sided Tesla/Magnus, but no more so than the show)
Rating: PG
Warnings: spoilers up to Trail of Blood
Summary: "We need you to make the numbers come out even," Helen said, shaking the hat at Nikola and rustling the little slips of paper inside. "So, yes, you will." (It's a holiday story. Yes, I know it's not Christmas anymore.)

Read the fic over there.

I don't know what's gotten into me, either. *g* I don't really see Sanctuary becoming a big fandom for me, but I'm enjoying it a lot, and now I'm going back to fill in the gaps of my first, Tesla-centric pass through. (I ... might even get around to watching the rest of season one at some point, but I think I'm cherry-picking the better episodes first. I don't usually watch shows this way ... although, having said that, now I'm thinking of all the various times that I have, though usually it was because of catching random episodes on TV prior to downloads, Hulu and Netflix. These days, it's much easier to watch a show straight through from the beginning.)

Bwahaha where I'm from people are such philistines French wine would probably be what's on sale at cut-price levels.

Hee! We're all about the cheap Australian wine here.

Aussie wine is cheap? o_O

[sholio]

In Alaska it is, for some reason. Most of the wine in the stores here is either California or Australia, and mostly the Australian wine is cheaper, at least for the quality. No, I don't know why either. *g*

I'm thinking that Australian wine tends to be expensive enough in Australia... :D
