FANDOM: James Cameron's Avatar
CHARACTERS: Norm Spellman, Trudy Chacon, OC
RATING: PG-13
WORDS: 3169
WARNINGS: None.
A/N: Massive thanks to ceitfianna for beta-ing. While the concept of Romeo and Juliet as Velociraptors is my own, the 'two species, both alike in carnivorisity' bit came from the brain of lordoflorien.
STORY SUMMARY: Information Technician Norm Spellman first met Lance Corporal Trudy Chacon in on a ship in 2134. Twenty years later, Doctor Spellman and Captain Chacon (long-time friends and sometime lovers) are reunited on Pandora. This follows the time between, and what happens after.
CHAPTER EXTRACT: “Romeo and Juliet as...Velociraptors.”

“Wait, what?” Trudy says, laughing as she twists around in her seat. “Oh, man, seriously?”

“No, no, it works, see? 'Two species, both alike in carnivorisity-”

“Norm! No, stop it,” she says, pressing her hands to her eyes as she laughs. But Norm is on a roll – and he loves the way she laughs.

“-in fair dystopia where we lay our scene. From ancient blood re-fused to new...mutant-y.” Okay, so, the roll rapidly rolled out.

CHAPTER EXTRACT: “Well,” she says, and she smirks, her smile crooked and pleased all at once. “I've got a few ideas of what we could do.”

He eyes her, sensing the laughter behind her expression. “Something nefarious?” he asks, a smile tugging at his own mouth.

“Scandalous even,” Chacon says. “Definitely means we have to be on first-name basis.”

“Well, gee, I don't know,” he says, and she grins at him. “Norm,” he says then, grinning back and offering her his hand.

“Trudy.”

CHAPTERS: Index
FANDOM: James Cameron's Avatar
CHARACTERS: Norm Spellman, Trudy Chacon, OC
RATING: PG-13
WORDS: 2052
WARNINGS: None.
A/N: Massive thanks to ceitfianna for beta-ing, and lordoflorien for cheerleading. The source of (my knowledge of) the quirks of the Ancient Greek and Russian colour-language is the excellent book Through the Language Glass: Why The World Looks Different in Other Languages, by Guy Deutscher.
STORY SUMMARY: Information Technician Norm Spellman first met Lance Corporal Trudy Chacon in on a ship in 2134. Twenty years later, Doctor Spellman and Captain Chacon (long-time friends and sometime lovers) are reunited on Pandora. This follows the time between, and what happens after.
CHAPTER EXTRACT: “You forgot,” he says, more than a little entertained by her monologue, “to mention ghosts.”

“Mmm, true. But they freak me out.”

Norm blinks. “So, what, cannibalistic corpses don't scare you, but ghosts do?”

Chacon grins. Or at least, she bares her teeth, which a number of species regard as a gesture of defiance instead of joy. It's a stance he can't really argue with. “Can't shoot ghosts. Can shoot zombies.”

He laughs softly. “Okay, that's fair.” He thinks for a moment. “Although, I think you can shoot ghosts with rock-salt.”

Chacon raises her eyebrows slightly, but she's still smiling. “Yeah, well. My copy of Lord of the Rings got completely busted during a pulse bomb. I'm borrowing.”

“Like a pirate?”

There is a beat of silence, and her smile deepens into a smirk on one side, dimple flashing into view. “I'm gonna plead the Fifth on that one.”

TITLE: Speak, Friend, and Enter: Prologue
CHAPTERS: Index
FANDOM: James Cameron's Avatar
CHARACTERS: Norm Spellman, OCs
RATING: PG-13
WORDS: 1845
WARNINGS: None.
A/N: Contains extracts from The Fellowship of the Ring, by JRR Tolkien. And massive thanks to ceitfianna and the_croupier for beta-ing, and lordolorien for cheerleading.
STORY SUMMARY: Information Technician Norm Spellman first met Lance Corporal Trudy Chacon in on a ship in 2134. Twenty years later, Doctor Spellman and Captain Chacon (long-time friends and sometime lovers) are reunited on Pandora. This follows the time between, and what happens after.
EXTRACT: ...his mother seems to take Pandora's biota as a personal insult. On more than one occasion, Norm has thought that if he hears anyone else argue about the function of Pandoran bioluminescence, or allude to the Cambrian Explosion to explain different body-plans, or debate whether the Na'vi are symbiotic parasites from another planet, he is going to kill someone. Even if Professor Eugenie Spellman is an evolutionary biologist, her ire at Pandora's apparent lack of 'genuine originality' seems somewhat excessive.

FIC: Respect Me In The Morning (Avatar)

2010-11-25T12:19:07Z

TITLE: Respect Me In The Morning
FANDOM: James Cameron's Avatar
CHARACTERS: Max Patel, Trudy Chacon
PAIRINGS: friendship!Max/Trudy
RATING: PG-13
WORDS: 828
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: The morning after one of Max and Trudy's Conferences On How To Handle Grace, Max wakes up to a shrieking alarm, a hangover, and a half-naked Trudy.
A/N: Originally this was supposed to be a brief joke in another (and yet to be finished) story, but then it demanded to be written.
For those who are curious, the tattoo on Trudy's back is the motto of the infantry battalion I've assigned her in my personal!canon.

FIC: Fortunate Son (Avatar)

2010-11-03T08:02:36Z

TITLE: Fortunate Son
FANDOM: Avatar
RATING: PG? M?
WORDS: 3161
CHARACTERS: Jake Sully, Tom Sully, cast
WARNING: Violence, self-esteem issues, brief mention of suicidal thoughts.
EXTRACT: You're good at running. Better then Tommy. Way better than Tommy. You can live with that.
A/N: I've always struggled a bit with Jake's character, but I realized a couple months ago that a lot of his reactions could make sense if he has ADHD (I came to this idea as I have ADD myself). I sat down to type a short little ficlet, and then when I looked up it was several hours later, and I had over 3000 words. So, I thought I might share.
Title comes from the Creedence Clearwater song of the same name.

FIC: The Beams of Our House Are Cedar (Avatar)

2010-06-26T03:14:00Z

TITLE: The Beams of Our House Are Cedar
FANDOM: Avatar
RATING: R
WORDS: 2152
PAIRING: Trudy/Norm
SUMMARY: In an AU where Trudy survives the last battle, she and Norm discuss killing in combat.
DISCLAIMER: these characters are not mine, I'm just playing with them.
A/N: As stated in the summary, this is an alternate universe where Trudy lives - how, I'm still working on. This story has an enormous debt to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, and the title is from the Song of Songs. And finally, this is a hexapede.

( I’ve been a professional soldier since I was eighteen, Norm. I’ve seen a lot of bad shit. I’ve done a lot of bad shit. I’m not gonna pack my things and go, no matter what you say. Not gonna judge. )

FIC: But Not With You (Avatar)

2010-06-26T03:11:16Z

TITLE: But Not With You
FANDOM: Avatar
RATING: PG-13? M? (contains some swearing and references to sex)
WORDS: 1, 216
CHARACTERS: Jake Sully, Trudy Chacon, mention of Norm Spellman
PAIRINGS: Trudy/Norm, one-sided Jack/Trudy (sorta)
SUMMARY: In which Jake Sully discovers why Norm's been in a much better mood lately, and talks it over with Trudy Chacon (this doesn't mean he gets it, though).
DISCLAIMER: The characters and the world they are in belong to James Cameron – I am merely playing with them.
A/N: In the 2007 script, there was a bit where Jake caught Trudy and Norm in 'the act', and I thought it might be fun to explore what would happen after. Also in the 2007 script, Trudy was in on Jake reporting back to Quartich - she was how the Colonel got those reports. I've used this as part of the background setting.

( “Mated?” Trudy splutters, getting confused looks from Norm and Grace both. “They couldn’t have chosen a better freaking word?” )

FIC: Conduct Unbecoming (Avatar)

2010-06-26T03:03:14Z

TITLE: Conduct Unbecoming
FANDOM: Avatar
RATING: PG
WORDS: 930
PAIRING: heavily implied Trudy/Quaritch
SUMMARY warning: power imbalance. After disobeying orders and abandoning the destruction of Hometree, Trudy Chacon would have been arrested on a number of charges - and yet Quaritch doesn't have her locked up in the brig. This is a look at a possible conversation between them before he makes that decision.
DISCLAIMER: These characters are so very much not mine, but belong to James Cameron. I'm just playing with them.
A/N: This came about due to my wondering on why Trudy was able to rescue Jake, Norm and Grace, instead of being in a cell herself - it then proceeded to take over my brain until I wrote it. Intended as one shot, but contains an allusion to tiger, tiger, burning bright. All of my knowledge about military codes of justice come from here.
