And here is where I start desperately trying to fill as many h/c bingo prompts as possible before the deadline later this week. I did actually finish this one about two weeks ago, but then a big pile of RL happened so I'm only just posting it now. Fills the 'Confession in a desperate situation' prompt, although I've been fairly liberal in my definition of a 'desperate situation'.

Another fill for

hc_bingo round 7, his one fills the 'Cages' prompt on my hurt/comfort bingo card. I'm afraid it's another Atlantis wallpaper, and yet another Pythagoras/Icarus pairing fill.

I really didn't intend for this bingo card to be largely filled with a single pairing, but that seems to be what is currently happening. Clearly I have no willpower to resist the pretty, lol! Also, for this one, I was completely unable to resist the temptation for angsty, in-peril!Icarus and badass!Pythagoras coming to his rescue. Just in case you were wondering, I HAVE NO REGRETS! ;-)

AN3: Wing!fic! This is an Atlantis X-Men fusion/AU, but if you are coming here looking for an X-Men fic I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. It’s an Atlantis story set in the Atlantis world with the Atlantis characters. The only difference is that it is an AU in which mutants with superpowers exist. Except, of course, this is Atlantis, so they don’t think in terms of ‘mutants’ and ‘superpowers’, they think of them as gifts (or curses) from the gods.

Another fill for round 7 of

hc_bingo, this one fills the 'Atonement' prompt on my h/c bingo card.

I knew as soon as I saw the prompt that I was probably going to do something involving Icarus, but I just couldn't face writing that much angst with a post-series 2 fic, so I made a wallpaper instead. Still angsty, but not so much wallowing and boys failing to communicate properly, which I think qualifies as a win!

( wallpaper behind the cut )

It's Robert Emms' birthday today (his 30th, no less!), so I'm blatantly using this as an (admittedly fairly flimsy) excuse to post another Pythagoras wallpaper. Just humour me, okay? ;-)

Somewhat surprisingly, there aren't that many Pythagoras/Icarus wallpapers around, so I decided the world needed another one. This one went a bit ansgty on me...

Current Mood: relaxed

It's random graphic of the month time again! Which basically means that I have produced a couple of wallpapers that are in no way connected to any form of challenge or bingo or gift for anyone.

So, here are two wallpapers featuring Pythagoras and the two people he loves most.

Title: The Truth Beneath the Lies
Author: Athene
Fandom: Atlantis
Pairing/characters: Icarus/Pythagoras, Jason, Hercules, Daedalus, The Oracle, OC
Rating: PG13
Warnings: Occasional language, implied smut
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: Not mine. BBC and Urban Myth Films own them.
Word count: approx 20,845 (this part 7665)
Summary: When Pythagoras chooses to spend the night of the festival of Aphrodite, goddess of love, with his friends rather than with Icarus, it sets in motion a chain of events that neither of them could have predicted. Hurt, angry and insecure, Icarus is easy prey for a woman who is not all she seems, and when she offers him a solution to his relationship problems he cannot resist. However, when he told the woman, “I never know what is going on in his head,” he never expected to wake up the following morning with the ability to hear Pythagoras’ thoughts. Icarus knows he must find a way to break the enchantment, but even if he does, will Pythagoras ever be able to trust him again?
AN: Big thanks to

clea2011 and

celeste9 for the beta.
AN2: Written for

smallfandombang, which has yet again given me an excuse to actually *finish* a nice long fic. Also fills the 'Telepathic Trauma' square on my hurt/comfort bingo card,
AN3: Set in a slightly AU early series 2, in which Icarus and Pythagoras got together much earlier, and all the business with Telemon and Ariadne never happened.

Bingo! \o/ This fic completes another

hc_bingo line, and with it two achievements (Steadfast for all fills in the same fandom, and multi-media for all fills in a different medium). To say that 'Unexpected Consequences of Planned Soulbonding' has become my nemesis prompt, I'm actually rather pleased with this fic. Pleased, in a Little Miss Maim and Kill kind of way...

Title: Parted

I can't believe how long it's been since I actually managed to finish an Atlantis fic. Or even a fic, full stop. Apparently Pythagoras/Icarus smut was what was needed to get my fic bunnies working again! In other news, I'm beginning to feel the need for a Py/Icarus pairing icon now.

Last one before the deadline for

Title: Feel
Author: Athene
Fandom: Atlantis
Pairing/characters: Pythagoras/Icarus, Jason, Hercules, Ariadne, Nestor
Rating: 15
Warnings: Language, implied threat of death and non-con, dark!Jason
Spoilers: Series 2 up to 2.11 - Kin
Disclaimer: Not mine. BBC and Urban Myth Films own them.
Word count: approx 3490
Summary: The scene in the throne room was even worse than Nestor’s warning had suggested.
AN: Written for

hc_bingo, fills the ‘Begging’ square on my hurt/comfort bingo card.
AN2: Goes AU after 2.11 – Kin (because I wrote it after that episode before 2.12/13 aired, but just didn’t get it edited and posted in time). Not betad because I’m about to run out of time before the H/C bingo deadline for round 5.
AN3: This fic is partly inspired by a conversation with

clea2011, who wanted to see Pythagoras begging for Icarus’ life, and also by

aislinarchives who made a comment a while ago about how, ‘D1 would totally be up for writing evil!Jason fic’. The two comments melded together and became this fic.

Written for

hc_bingo May challenge, and that's four out of four amnesty challenges completed! \o/ Huge thanks to

clea2011 and

celeste9 for the mutual ~~competitiveness~~ support to complete all of them this year. Last year I only managed two out of four.

Title: Rock

Rating: 12
Warnings: Angst.
Spoilers: Everything up to 2.12 – The Queen Must Die. Specific spoilers for that episode.
Disclaimer: Not mine. BBC and Urban Myth Films own them.
Word count: approx 3045
Summary: “All the years that we’ve been friends, Pythagoras. Did you really think I didn’t know?”
AN: Written for the

hc_bingo May Challenge, for small fandoms, using one or more prompts from, ‘Homesickness’, ‘Rejection’, ‘Bites’, and ‘Heat Stroke’. I used Rejection.
AN2: Thanks to

clea2011 for the beta. This fic is my headcanon missing scene for what happens after Pythagoras tells them all the truth about Icarus, because there is no way Hercules is not going to go after him after that conversation. The first few paragraphs of dialogue are taken directly from the episode.

( Rock )

I think it is probably fair to say that my Little Miss Maim and Kill reputation from Primeval has crossed over into Atlantis fandom as well. Poor Pythagoras.

Title: Remember How to Fly
Author: Athene
Fandom: Atlantis
Pairing/characters: Pythagoras/Icarus, Pasiphae, Hercules, Jason, Medea, Ariadne, OCs.
Rating: 18
Warnings: Torture, violence, language, angst. Please read the warnings. The vast majority of this fic contains scenes of torture.
Spoilers: Everything up to 2.11 - Kin
Disclaimer: Not mine. BBC and Urban Myth Films own them.
Word count: approx 4511
Summary: He will not scream
AN: Written for the Atlantis Bucket List over on tumblr, for the prompt, ‘Pythagoras gets tortured. I don’t really care why or who by (although bonus angst if it’s because he gets arrested because of Icarus), but no matter how bad it gets he refuses to betray his friends’. If anyone hasn’t actually already guessed, I was the one who submitted this prompt in the first place, and then immediately bunnied myself and had to write it anyway!
AN2: Also fills the

hc_bingo ‘Imprisonment’ square on my hurt/comfort bingo card.
AN3: Title from song lyrics by Evanescence, because after three days of failing to think of a title I was getting desperate. Thanks to

clea2011 for the beta. Fic takes place after the events of episode 2.11 - Kin.

I'm getting better! This week I'm posting the review for last week's episode a whole two and half hours before this week's episode airs! \o/ I have to admit at this point, I'm calling them 'reviews', but for the last few episodes they've been turning into something more like a form of extended semi-meta. But I'm having a lot of fun writing them, and if anyone else enjoys reading them that's pretty much a bonus. Feel free to join in with comments, discussion, etc.

I think it goes without saying, but just to be safe - major spoilers for 2.10 behind the cut!

( Episode review for 2.10: The Dying of the Light, plus picspam )

So, this was what I spent my Bank Holiday Monday afternoon and evening doing. It isn't getting the ep 2.10 review written, nor is it getting going on the H/C Bingo May challenge.

But on the other hand... the pretty! :-)

I was only going to do one, but then the idea for the linked set of three came into my head, so that happened. Plus, I had taken a truly ridiculous number of screencaps, so it seemed a shame to waste them.
