In my spare time, I write fanfiction and lead a cult of cock worshippers on the Internet. It's not the usual kind of hobby for a 50ish "domestic engineer" but we live in a modern world and I like fucking with people's expectations.

The Aftermath

Reading Time: 28 Minutes Title: The Aftermath Author: Keira Marcos Series title: The Sentinels of Atlantis Series Order: 14 Fandom: Sentinel/Stargate Fusion Art: K-Lee Rating: NC-17 Pairings: McKay/Sheppard, Elizabeth Weir/Simon Wallace, Grodin/Tyre, Stackhouse/Markham, Cameron/Vala, Cadman/Ford, Bates/Simmons A/N: Special thanks to Ladyholder and Chris King for being on hand to deal with my neurotic bitching and for reading 😉 Warnings: Adult themes, violence, and sexual situations. Summary: “The life of a soldier is defined by discipline, shaped by duty, and immortalized in acts of courage in the face of the most dangerous situations.” * * * * The first time John heard a woman weeping, it was his mother. It was the day she’d realized out her five year old son had come online. An ache had built in his chest in response, tangling into a hot, tight knot of pain that still lingered with the other memories of his mother. As proud as she was to have birthed a Sentinel, his mother had been truly unprepared for him to come online before the onset of puberty. His father had held her, rocked her gently while he promised her fiercely that it wasn’t her fault. John didn’t think that Patrick Sheppard meant anything more than that—at least not now that he was an adult but as a child he’d often wondered if his daddy had thought it was his fault instead. He’d never doubted his father’s love but some part of Patrick Sheppard had been unable to fully embrace the only…

Tangled Destinies: Taken

Reading Time: 82 MinutesTitle: Taken Author: Keira Marcos Pairing: Kirk/Spock, Sarek/Amanda Grayson Series: Tangled Destinies Series Order: 2 Fandom: Star Trek XI (Reboot ‘Verse) Genre: Alternate Universe, romance Word Count: 20,600 Rating: PG (for adult language, violence, and situations) Warnings: Discussions of past physical abuse and off-screen sexual abuse of an OC, and some violence. Summary: Jim and Spock attend a physics conference at the Vulcan Embassy, Jim’s grandmother tries to get him to agree to an arranged marriage, and the boys develop a mutual dislike for the mall. * * * * Jim stored his helmet in the closet near the front door as the Ambassador’s aide disappeared. The young Vulcan woman never spoke to him and rarely did more than raise an eyebrow at him when she answered the door. He joked once to Spock that she was just stunned silent by his grandness—the look on his face still made Jim laugh a little when he thought about it. Ambassador Sarek was taking him and Spock both to the embassy with him for an intellectual lecture that was being presented. He had informed them they would attend it earlier in the week and though Jim had absolutely no interest in ‘black hole dynamics’, it didn’t even cross his mind to tell Spock’s father that. He checked his reflection and frowned at his hair. A haircut was due but he’d been putting off because he’d rather spend his time with Spock than fight his way downtown to the salon…

Q & A : Ties That Bind

,

Reading Time: 40 MinutesI had a reader email me with some questions about Ties That Bind. I’m going to answer them below. If you have questions–feel free to leave them on this post. I will add them to post and answer them as I have time. If you don’t feel comfortable leaving a comment you can email OR just put “private comment” in your comment and it won’t be posted on the site. Q) What power do the Pleasure Houses have to be able to bind the high political authorities ? A) Pleasure Houses do not have official power — they do have, however, a social power that makes each individual house a powerful force when it comes to social morals (like ownership laws) and discipline of an abusive Dom. The President of the US in this series was trained exclusively at La Petite Mort. So obviously, if Neal Peyton requested something from him—he would have little difficulty in receiving it. It is a world built on loyalty among Doms. Earning the displeasure of an entire house—like de Sade would be bad for a politician. Q) When Gerard de Sade has trained his disciples to be doms, how did he do it? A) Gerard trained one Dom for every year that he was House Master of de Sade. Think of it like an apprenticeship—the Dom in training with him would spend every waking hour in Gerard’s presence learning the ins and outs of pleasure and discipline through example. Q) At…

His parents had vehemently discussed his bonding for years and now—now it was upon him. T’Pring. He knew her from school—knew her to be a petty, vicious creature with a placid face and a cruel mind. Suddenly, he realized he could not go through with the betrothal. He could not imagine having her be in his mind permanently. It was horrific. The healer reached out to them both, and Spock was instantly repelled. He pulled away before the healer could place her hand on his meld points. “No.” T’Pring glanced him over, her eyes clear and cool. “Your Human mother has lost this fight. Do you plan to take up her mantel?” She…

Author’s Notes: SEE THE SERIES PAGE FOR FULL AUTHOR NOTES. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THEM! Word Count: 40,500 Warnings: Graphic male/male sex, anal play, BDSM, violence, and exhibitionism (does any of that really make you not want to read it?).

Summary: Matthew adjusts to having a collar on the city and John is recalled to Earth for a house trial.   * * * * Patrick Sheppard glanced from Randolph Rampart to Mason Blake to Gerard de Sade before settling on Blake with shrewd green eyes. “Blake, give me one reason why I shouldn’t kick your ass.” Mason took a deep breath. “I can’t honestly think of a single one. Can we come in?” Patrick motioned them both into his office. “By all means.” He walked silently to his liquor cabinet and poured for them all without asking. “The only reason I haven’t already killed Kevin Jordan is that I can’t…

Moderation & Feedback

Reading Time: 2 MinutesIt’s true that I have a “positive” feedback policy and that I do screen the comments on this site. I do this because of the abuse I receive for writing slash not because I’m “over sensitive” or can’t handle critism. I don’t approve “critism” comments (though I’ve only gotten like 5 in the past year beyond people pointing out my grammar problems) because I don’t want the discussion that would result. I want this site to be FUN because I have fun with it. Having big discussions about politics (or whatever angsty thing my fic might inspire) doesn’t appeal to me AT ALL. I don’t require that anyone love my work. I just don’t want to hear about it on my own site if you hate it OR if you think I write badfic!, fluff, crack — whatever. I post my work for people to enjoy and if you don’t enjoy it– just don’t come back over here and read it anymore. Here’s the thing– at one point I didn’t even have comments enabled on my site. I opened them up because of email feedback. And the only reason I allow them now is because I feel like my readers have created a community for themselves AND I’m open to answering questions about my fic and future projects. I make jokes about feeding my ego with comments but let’s be real honest– you have to have a pretty damn healthy ego to create a site dedicated to your hobby,…

Writing Gay Porn in Public

Reading Time: 1 MinutesIt’s only a problem when your neighbors are VERY nosy. I’ve run off 3 people in an hour. The General and his reporter were here earlier and they were sitting on my left and finally one of them worked up the gumption to ask me what I was writing that I kept scaring off old ladies. SO, I told them and they laughed their asses off. OH- relationship totally confirmed for those of you who might remember them from before. Cause they asked about my website and I said they couldn’t read it which earned me the response (from the General) — “It’s not like we haven’t done it, sweetheart.” BLUSH. I’m working on finishing up A Lovely Agony by the way. :-). I think you guys will like it.

The Sentinel

Reading Time: 30 Minutes Sentinels of Atlantis: Dean Bates & Graham Simmons ~ Art by FanArts Series Title: The Sentinel Author: Keira Marcos Series title: The Sentinels of Atlantis Series Order: 13 Fandom: Sentinel/Stargate Fusion Rating: NC-17 (lots of Male/Male sex, violence, adult language & situations) Pairings: McKay/Sheppard, Grodin/Tyre, Bates/Simmons Warnings: No beta, Adult themes, extreme violence, and sexual situations. Summary: Bates comes online during a hostage situation off-world, Tyre and Peter take some time to themselves on the mainland, and John has an unexpected visitor. * * * * Dean Bates sat down on his footlocker in the large room the entire city used for mission prep. The men under him in the company had taken his potential change of status better than he’d suspected they would but then John Sheppard had worked hard to make sure he didn’t bring any assholes on the expedition. His Sentinel gifts were hovering on the edge of his mind. Graham had come online in his sleep over a week ago. Dean hadn’t been able to do anything but hold his Guide and talk him through the construction of his primary shield. It had rankled but he’d had no choice but to allow Sheppard and McKay to come to his quarters to help Graham. It had been relieving, however, that they’d included him as much as possible in the process and never made him feel like he wasn’t enough to help Graham through the event. Now, sixteen days later, he felt close and…

The Guide

Reading Time: 50 Minutes Sentinels of Atlantis: Tyre & Peter Grodin ~ Art by FanArts Series Title: The Guide Author: Keira Marcos Series title: The Sentinels of Atlantis Series Order: 12 Fandom: Sentinel/Stargate Fusion Rating: NC-17 (Male/Male sex, adult language & situations) Pairings: McKay/Sheppard, Peter Grodin/Tyre, Stackhouse/Markham, Cameron/Vala, Elizabeth Weir/Simon Wallace, Laura Cadman/Aidan Ford, Bates/Simmons Warnings: Adult themes, violence, discussion of past sexual abuse Author’s Notes: My thanks to Ladyholder and Chris King for their invaluable feedback. Summary: The city forces Tyre to come to terms with his needs and the temptation he’s been resisting. Meanwhile, John and Rodney are off world with Cameron and Vala to investigate an abandoned world with an Ancient lab and find something disturbing. * * * * Elizabeth would’ve loved to throw aside the two sticks Cadman had forced into her hands and just punch the female Sentinel in the face. Since the aggression was contrary to her accepted self-image, she was at a loss as to how to deal with it and she wasn’t ready to admit how… hostile she felt all the time lately. She had been assured that it was normal for an emerging Sentinel to be on edge and even at times violent in the right circumstances especially considering how dangerous their situation was. No matter how much her mind might be protesting the changes in her biology—the rest of her was on board. If she didn’t think about it—it was easy to surrender herself to sparring and the physical…

Cafe Sitting

Reading Time: 2 MinutesAnyone knows me– knows I like to sit cafes to write. I don’t know if people think I look “nice” or “approachable” but strangers talk to me ALL the time. Since I’m a social creature– I don’t mind this (much). Though on one occassion this proved way too interesting when a friend called me and asked me to define “snowballing” and I did– in front of a group of old ladies. I thought they’d be all shocked and horrified– instead– one asked– “But, dear, if that’s snowballing what is felching?”  o/ — I love pervy old ladies. Anyways– today I’m sitting in my favorite cafe with my large diet coke, grande mocha coffee, one muffin and my netbook. I’m all set for an afternoon of gay porn writing. Then this man who has to be 70 sits down beside me and starts arranging the table “just so”. It was kind of charming and he turns me.. and says– “Sweetheart, could you tuck your computer cord under the table so the General doesn’t trip over it?” I do so immediately because the last thing I want to do is trip up a some 70 year old guy who still gets called “General”. The other guy comes along with their food and they sit beside me and fuss about politics and the price of milk at Wal-Mart and every once in a while when they think I’m not looking– the General would reach out and put his hand on…

Evil!Carter, Marine!John Extra Special Warning: This story in the Ties That Bind series has a scene of severe discipline in it for a major character. No permanent damage is done but it is graphic and may upset some of my more sensitive readers. Author’s Notes: SEE THE SERIES PAGE FOR FULL AUTHOR NOTES. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THEM! Summary: General Jordan comes to Atlantis and the pressure breaks the one person John couldn’t have predicted and someone has to pay the price. * * * * “I have to admit to being surprised by your change of heart, Mason.” Henry Hayes quirked an eyebrow as he poured scotch in two tumblers. “You’ve never been interested in a political posting before and the Director of Homeworld Security is a very high profile political posting.” General Mason Blake accepted the tumbler and stared at the honey gold liquid for a few seconds. “It’s been recently impressed upon me the importance of the position. The security of our country and our planet should be in the hands of someone I trust—and I trust myself the most.” Henry grinned. “Can’t say I disagree with that. You were always my first…

The Runner

What she finds surprises the hell out of her. * * * * “Dr. Wallace, you were going to report on Sergeant Campbell?” John questioned with a raised eyebrow. “Does he remember anything more about his experience with the Wraith or why he left his quarters?” Simon shook his head. “No. I’ve been reviewing the research on Wraith in the Ancient database and I believe he wasn’t in control of his mind or body during the time. I think he managed to break free of the Wraith’s mind control when he saw the creature because it’s the first thing he remembers after going to sleep. He doesn’t have a history of sleep walking but his mother is a documented sensitive. I spoke with Dr. Keller and we double checked his blood work to make sure we didn’t miss anything in his testing. Nothing popped beyond the fact that we believe he would be a great candidate for the ATA gene therapy she’s developing.” “And we can give that to him without it turning him…” John sighed. “He doesn’t have any Satedian DNA at all?” “None,” Simon assured. “We’ve been very careful to test everyone twice for…

Not the ATA gene—that’s artificial but another gene that most of the Sentinels on Earth have. Probably upwards of ninety-five percent of Sentinels have it but there are a few who don’t and you’re one of them. You do have the gene we’ve identified that come from the Satedians. And you have a latent ATA gene.” Bates exhaled sharply and looked out over the ocean. “When you brought me out here—I thought it was to discuss Stackhouse and Markham.” “Are they a problem?” John asked mildly. “Not for me, but they could stand to be a little more discreet. I won’t tolerate bullshit from the men under me and they know it. As far as I know, we don’t have any that would have…

Summary: Ronon allows the Lanteans to travel to his home world but the sight of his devastated world hurts more than he expected. John learns that he has three latent Sentinels on the mission and must determine how best to deal with the likelihood that their circumstances alone might bring them online. * * * * Simon raised an eyebrow and glanced over at his shoulder at his wife. “Colonel Sheppard. This is a surprise.” John offered him a small smile. “I hope I’m not disturbing your morning. I know you’re both off duty.” “No, please come in.” Simon motioned him in as Elizabeth slipped into their bedroom to throw on the rest of her clothes. “Coffee?” “No, but thank you. I have to watch my caffeine intake. Sometimes it makes me edgy for the wrong reasons.” John sat down at the table that Simon motioned to. “But the Athosian tea is nice.” Simon nodded. “I enjoy it but it has an adverse effect on Elizabeth.” He grinned then. “Well, not exactly adverse but she certainly can’t indulge in it if she’s going to be out in public.” He brought a…

John Sheppard eyed his fellow Sentinel with shrewd eyes. “He’s the head of Botany, Radek. He’ll be the authority on our dietary needs when it comes to food crops off world.  Teyla and Ronon are both confident that a trip to this trading world would be to our benefit. Unfortunately, the trade fair is scheduled to move within the week and it could be weeks before they are established elsewhere. We need to go there and meet with potential trade partners.” Radek pressed his lips together. “David is… only rated for a 9mm and he is curious.” He waved one hand. “I should think to leash him before letting him through the gate.” John grinned. “Like a kid in a shopping mall?” “Yes.” Radek pointed at him. “Exactly that. He’ll drive me mad, Colonel.” “I understand your concern, Radek but every…

Evil!Carter, Marine!John Author’s Notes: SEE THE SERIES PAGE FOR FULL AUTHOR NOTES. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THEM! Summary: Rodney falls in love with Atlantis while John gets used to having a family on Atlantis. * * * * Dr. Rodney McKay had never allowed himself to think about being on Atlantis not even after John Sheppard locked his collar around his neck. He’d learned along the way not to set himself up for heartache. He was standing at a view window with his Dom when they left hyperspace and achieved orbit around Lantea. He’d seen a few planets from space—for the most part they always looked inviting. Even if they rarely were. “The Ancients certainly liked their planets big and blue.” John laughed softly. “Yeah, they do. We rarely encounter a world that isn’t beautiful at least from an environmental perspective.” He settled one hand on Rodney’s hip and let his chin rest on his sub’s shoulder. “I’m going to ask someone to bring a Jumper up for us. I want you to see her the way I do when I come back from the mainland.” “That sounds good.” Rodney cleared his throat and took a deep breath. “I’ll…

There was a Marine on the front porch of McKay’s house with a handful of tissue and red eyes. Sheppard suppressed a grin as he came up the stairs. “Please tell me he didn’t make you cry too, Corporal.” The Marine sneezed loudly and took a big deep wet breath that made John grimace. “No, sir. Your… Dr. McKay found a cat on the side of the road on the way home and insisted we stop and pick it up. It’s… huge, sir. I tried to convince him that it could have diseases or maybe it isn’t even a cat but he wouldn’t listen to me.” The Marine sniffled again. “I came out here because I’m allergic. Drake is inside.” “A cat?” John repeated. “You let him pick up a stray animal off the side of the road?” The Marine blushed. “I tried to drive past it, sir but he threatened to maim me for life if I didn’t turn around for the animal.” John swallowed back a laugh and shook his head. “Yeah, okay. I’ll send Drake out and you…

Summary: John and Rodney learn more about each other as they travel to Atlantis on the Daedalus. While everyone else adjusts to the new relationships that have formed around the pair. * * * * Matt rubbed his hand down the side of his overalls and balanced one foot on the floor of the large flight bay that held the fleet of X-302s they were taking to Atlantis. “Okay, so theoretically, if you were going to put a hyperspace generator in this, it would go here.” “Yes.” Miko slid further under the craft beside Matt and slid one of her smaller hands in beside his. “In fact, we left space in the design to put in the hyperspace generator that we currently have in development at Area 51. We have a prototype with us but it could be more than a year before we can do any testing.” She wiggled in further and dragged her DeWalt with her. “Here, look at this.” Matt grinned as she deftly took another panel off. “Why engineering?” “Because I like to know how things work,” Miko…

Pairing: Sheppard/McKay Rating: R (for adult themes) Spoilers: None Warnings: Language, discussion of child abuse, and OC point of view Categories: Slash, Established Relationship, Alternate Universe, Contemporary * * * * “It was recently my privilege to sit down with Dr. Rodney McKay and Colonel John Sheppard for my Intimate Portrait series.” Iris March leaned against a railing, a stunning view of snow-capped mountains spread out behind her. She brushed pale blonde hair over her shoulder and regarded the camera seriously. “The following interview is not appropriate for young viewers and I encourage parental guidance due to the discussion of violent child abuse and adult language.” The scene fades and Iris is standing in front of a silent grand piano. “Colonel John Sheppard tells me that Dr. McKay plays this instrument often in the afternoons but we were unable to talk him into playing for us today. Many of you might recognize the instrument from his performance during his interview with the Science Channel.” She waved a hand and the camera spanned around the large, open room. “It’s the center of this large room that both Dr. McKay and Colonel Sheppard admit to favoring in their home.” She moved away from the…

Ties That Bind: Harder to Breathe – Part Two

Reading Time: 87 Minutes* * * * “I thought you were going to get Teldy?” John asked as Lorne slipped into the office and shut the door. Lorne laughed. “Well, I went by her office because she wasn’t wearing her radio. She’s on her lunch break with her submissive. So I chose not to interrupt them.” John lifted an eyebrow and glanced at Matthew. “Earlier you were talking about the fact that you and the Major Hughes were submissive. Do you have a problem being in command of Dominants?” “Not at all,” Matt said as he slouched down on the couch with his computer. “I can’t say the same for some Dominants I’ve served with but I don’t take shit from lower ranking officers. I never have. Of course, the Navy has never rated me for discipline and certainly never will. I assumed I would elevate any punishments to you or Major Lorne.” John nodded. “Yeah, I normally handle discipline on Atlantis—at least I did when Marshall was in charge unless the infraction was severe and then they just wished I was doing the work. Marshall specialized in bloodletting and he never spared the rod.” Matthew nodded. “Lorne would discipline me, I take it?” John frowned and considered that. “Yeah, I guess so.” He glanced at Lorne who looked intensely uncomfortable. “Major?” “Sir.” Evan blew out a breath. “I don’t think I could. I’m rated for the flogger and the strap but he’s a Geisha for fuck’s sake.” Matthew laughed.…

Evil!Carter, Marine!John Author’s Notes: SEE THE SERIES PAGE FOR FULL AUTHOR NOTES. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THEM! Summary: John and Rodney return to the SGC and make ready to go to Atlantis with a few problems along the way. * * * * Elizabeth was waiting on them when they finished the check in process into the mountain. She said nothing as she guided them both down a hall and towards another elevator. Once the doors were closed she sighed. “Carter is here. There was an emergency with the gate and O’Neill was forced to recall her to deal with it. He didn’t want to bother you and Rodney on your family trip.” Rodney inched closer to John aware that his Dom was still boiling over on the inside when it came to his ex-wife. “It’ll be fine, John.” John shook his head, his jaw tightening. “I don’t need to be in a room with her Elizabeth. I don’t think I can trust myself around her.” Elizabeth blinked in surprise but looked closely at Rodney’s pale features and hit the stop button on the elevator. “What’s going on?” John shook his head and closed his eyes. Four days hadn’t…

Ties That Bind: You Belong To Me

Evil!Carter, Marine!John Author’s Notes: SEE THE SERIES PAGE FOR FULL AUTHOR NOTES. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THEM! Summary: John and Rodney make time to see both of their families before they leave for Atlantis. * * * * Rodney had a lot of money. He’d worked in private and government research in Canada and in the United States since he’d graduated with his first degree. Mostly it sat in a bank account and he bought cool things that he liked. He’d been thinking about buying a house so he could live off base—something he hadn’t done since his divorce from Sam. The main reason he hadn’t was mostly because buying a house for just himself sort of meant he was giving up having another Dom in his life. Granted, he’d paid for Sam’s house but it had been bought and remodeled to suit her exactly. He’d catered to every wish when it had come to the home they would share and put it in her name without blinking an eye. He didn’t even really regret that part—she’d certainly wish she didn’t have a house worth a couple of million dollars when it came time to pay property…

Evil!Carter, Marine!John Author’s Notes: SEE THE SERIES PAGE FOR FULL AUTHOR NOTES. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THEM! Summary: John starts his debrief and Rodney settles into his new role as the collared submissive of a Marine. * * * * Rodney had been told during his first session in de Sade that the first forty-eight hours a sub spends in a new collar was to be a period of serious adjustment in both thought and action. The first couple of days with Sam had been on their honeymoon. He wondered now how Carter had let him get away with that—withholding his acceptance of her collar until he put a wedding band on her finger. She’d never fought the formal commitment ceremony and beyond a few snide comments about his arrogance. Sam had made the entire process rather easy all things considered. The only time she’d balked had been when it had come time to sign the sub contract he’d refused to move forward without. If she’d been pissed about it later, she never let on and their honeymoon had been full of sex and what he’d thought was love. Even now, he cringed at his own stupidity when it…
