Sadly, I haven't written anything new in years.
But back in the day I wrote a few stories, and I also edit (beta-read).
see some stories I have edited
Story: Chains of Being (Hawkes/McQueen, NC-17)
Written 1996. Warnings, if any exist, are here.
Summary:
Cooper Hawkes is an in-vitro in a world of natural-borns.
A Marine, because the judge sent him to the Corps instead of to jail.
Six years old, and caught up in the middle of a war.
Cooper has learned, painfully and well, that humans despise him,
that human society rejects him: the nipple-neck, the wetbrain, the tank.
That surrounded by his squadron he is still, and always, alone;
that, whether in the crowded barracks of boot camp or the screaming
fury of battle, none of them are like him, none are what he is.
None of them are bound to him with chains of being.
Except one.
Author's note: Of everything I have ever written, this is what I'm most proud of. You don't need to know the show to understand the story.
Story: Semper Fidelis (McQueen, PG, 3300 words, 20K)
Written 1998. Warnings, if any exist, are here.
Summary: "He had been ready to die since he'd been decanted, but he'd never wanted to, and he was damn well going to try not to now."
Author's note: This story was written in an effort to sneak fanfic into a nonfannish story-writing class; it simplifies the S:AAB universe somewhat to try to make it intelligible to people who have barely heard of science fiction, let alone S:AAB. Still, it reflects my idea of McQueen's backstory.

Written 1990-91. Warnings, if any exist, are here.

Summary: "What shall I do? Shall I love you? Shall I kill you? What shall I do?"
Author's note: I wrote this because I read a story in which the author essentially postulated that if Avon had not killed Anna, everything would have worked out much the same. Um, no.

Dobey himself, chewing angrily on his cigar, called it those damn pansies they keep recruiting, and Major Cowley, tiredly rubbing the bridge of his nose, referred to the entire problem only as unfortunate."
