Mini Nano Day 7

[morgynleri]

Because I said I would be writing time travel today... *facepalms* And because lynati is an evil enabler.

Yes, it's a short snippet. Rossi isn't being as talkative as I like, though I suspect that's because I'm currently still only on Season 2 of my rewatch of Criminal Minds, and still dealing with Gideon.

Crossover: Children of Fire AU
(Criminal Minds, Stargate SG1; time travel and accidentally booted into another galaxy, because sometimes some people don't know when to stop meddling.)

"Tell me this is something you did, Dave." Aaron is looking around the broad plain they're in, where they hadn't been a moment ago. "And you know where we are."

"We would if we could, Aaron." Rossi doesn't even recognize whatever it is that transported them. It wasn't rings, it wasn't anything he could identify as Asgard or Ancient.

/This isn't a planet I recognize. There aren't any petrochemicals in the air, so not Earth, nor any world with a similar technology base. I'm not picking up any trace tastes of any other familiar byproducts of technology, either./

"Tages doesn't know where we are any better than I do." Which isn't good, but doesn't mean all is lost, either. Simply that they're outside the range of the System Lords which Pele called ally once.

*beams*

Children of Fire (or Pele-verse, depending on if I remember I actually named the damned thing), is an AU in which David Rossi was originally a priest of the Etruscan god Tages, who got found by a very curious young symbiote who equates knowledge with power. And gave this young priest the ability to masquerade as a god - which he jumped at.

They've mellowed since then, though the arrogance has never truly gone away. And the symbiote has adopted the name Tages, and the most recent life they've built for themselves is David Rossi. And then the Stargate got opened, and shit happened mostly in the same fashion it did on the show, and then Rossi and Tages blew their cover by trying to convince Sam Carter to save Tages's little brother.

And then their team wouldn't give up on them, even though Rossi had been keeping Tages a secret (a mutual decision), and the team is a little disconcerted. JJ less so than the rest, because the time she was off with the DoD... she was working for Jack O'Neill. She's aware of the Stargate program, and of goa'uld, and she's not entirely sure this is a good idea, but Rossi is still Rossi, and she's not going to give up on a team mate.

Rossi eventually gets sent home, because Pele is cranky about when people threaten the offspring she's found worthy of leaving home, of which there have been three. The oldest was her only daughter, Jolinar. Then Tages and Baal is the baby of the lot.

... Erm. I have done a lot of thinking about this AU? *grins*

DUUUUUDE. Fucking AWESOME. :D Can't wait to read it all the way through.

At the moment, part two of the plotty story is stuck, because there's a plot point from the episode where I diverge heavily from Criminal Minds canon that I need to address, and there's a potential plot hole that I need to keep from developing. It's probably going to end up with me rewriting all of part two as it currently stands, and then going forward from there.

Oh, that's always a pain in the ass.
