Summary: The members of SG1 have a misunderstanding on an alien planet, leading to a meeting with a very unusual Goa'uld. Not a crack!fic.

Snippet:
Nekhrun smirked viciously and ran one fingertip along the curve of his right ear. “I’m in disguise,” he explained. “As for being a rebel god… well that’s about half-right, which isn’t bad after all this time. No great surprise that the Shol’va over there doesn’t remember me – the Goa’uld only like stories about how their enemies are crushed, if they could get away with it they wouldn’t let anyone know about Anubis either. They’re such cretins. Information like that always causes trouble when it gets out.”

“Half right?” Jack asked sarcastically. “So you’re not a rebel?”

“I’m sure that this will break your heart, Colonel,” Nekhrun chuckled. “But I’m not actually a god, I’m just an egotistical parasitic snake wrapped around someone else’s spinal cord.”

Cory Raines is da bomb

[peppymint1986]

Title: A Bang-up Job in Carson Wells
Author: Diane/dswdiane aka Not Kilt Boy
Genre: crossover
Author's Notes: It is important to this story to know that Matthew McCormick was Cory Raines' first teacher after Cory became an Immortal. It might also help to know that Matthew and Clay Mosby were played by the same actor, Eric McCormack. It also helps in reading this to imagine that both Mosby and McCormick speak with a cultured, educated, but carefully drawled, Southern accent.
Summary: Cory and Fitz are on the lam from a botched robbery in Europe. Connor is taking them to Carson Wells at the request of Colonel Clay Mosby who has asked for assistance. Adventures occur.

Snippet:

Connor halted his own horse and looked at Fitz with little sympathy. "Did I ask you to involve yourself with Cory Raines in a robbery in which both of you idiots were seen by so many people that you had to leave Europe? Probably until you manage to outlive all of them?" He wheeled his horse and looked at Cory who was starting humming aimlessly while lifting his hands in the air in surrender.

"Did I ask you to rob a couch carrying with a diplomat from Rome, a French marquis , an English duke, and an envoy from Austria? What the hell were you thinking?" Connor demanded.

Snippet:

            Harry looked up at Ron.  “Join Voldemort,” said Harry.  “The wizard who murdered my parents, has been trying to kill me since I was a year old, who now treats me like his favorite pet and derives great satisfaction in seeing me in agony?  That Voldemort?  Of course.  I’m looking forward to it.”

            Ron laughed.  Hermione looked horrified.

            “Oh, Harry,” said Hermione.  “It just doesn’t seem fair.  All the stuff you have to deal with.”

            “Well as long as I have you two to help me, I guess I’ll do all right.  And I have a back up plan.”

            “You do?” said Ron.  “What is it?”
