The Queen of Swords

Title: The Queen of Swords
Author: speedy
Fandom(s): Torchwood
Characters: Alice, Tarot Card Girl, Jack
Rating: PG
Summary: Her right hand raises the weapon vertically and the hilt rests on an arm of her royal chair; the left hand is extended, the arm raised; her countenance is severe but chastened; it suggests familiarity with sorrow. It does not represent mercy, and, her sword notwithstanding, she is scarcely a symbol of power.
Spoilers: Children of Earth, Fragments

Notes: Quote is from Pictorial Key to the Tarot by A.E. Waite, creator of the Rider-Waite tarot card deck.
Acknowledgments: Beta'd by

Snippets I'm Not Writing

Doing a little spring cleaning on my hard drive, specifically my writing folder, and thought I'd post some of the bits I'm not disgusted with, but are pretty much dead in the water as stories go.

Fall From Grace, NCIS/Stargate crossover, circa S3/S9
Idea took a much different direction, this is from the original
( Nope, he wasn't bitter. Not at all. )

Untitled, NCIS/Stargate Atlantis, S4/S3, unrequited Gibbs/DiNozzo
( Tony ran as far as he could. He should've known it wouldn't be far enough. )

Untitled, Stargate SG-1
( Elizabeth Weir met SG-1 the first time at Joe Faxon's funeral. )

Untitled, Torchwood
( He was contemplating going back to Cardiff to work for his Uncle Cliff and grow toadstools, when he first saw Lisa on the train. )

Demolition Girl, General Hospital, Small Sacrifices, sequel to A Sister's Love
Another idea that took a different direction
( She'd demanded the gun, although she had never been sure why. )
