Sark became painfully aware of the concrete as a demon with hair a color red that is usually reserved for cherry suckers and certain cars tackled him before he could get three feet from his car. For a brief moment, he wondered if evading the Organization for seventeen years had finally caught up with him. He knew when he joined up that it wasn't a group you could turn your back on and betray and expect to live, but he was always a huge risktaker, and, hell, he'd managed to keep under their radar for seventeen years, so he didn't he had done so badly in the long run.

He attempted to clamber to his feet, but the demon planted a stiletto-heeled boot on his chest and he grimaced in pain as the heel dug into a spot on his sternum that was still tender even though that wound was a good twenty years old now. His aviators had fallen askew when he hit the ground and he glanced above the frames to get a good look at his assailant- she looked like a teenager, but demons' looks could be deceiving. There was a certain look to her eyes that suggested youth, however, which, really, would make this all the more irritating. Evade capture for years and get taken down by a teenager- there's some subtle bit of irony in that.

"Hi, Daddy."

 

But it wouldn't be a paper moon if you were in love with me... )

In an ideal situation, Sark would not be the one on this mission and this was something that both he and Sydney could agree on. It was firmly below his station (then again, Torchwood's obsession with teaching him humility seemed to lean towards putting him on missions that were always below his station, so that wasn't a surprise) and it was Bristow's little project anyway and he didn't even work for Bristow. Of course, Vaughn was laid up from his latest brush with a demon and Westen was fully integrated into the Organization as a double agent with Lang and some new agent- Allbright or something- so that left him as the only male spy left standing. 

The problem seemed to be that someone (they were willing to bet a local Neqa'el) had contracted a suburb to be built on top of a Rift located outside of Chicago. If asked, they claimed they were attempting to rehabilitate wanderers, but some investigating had shown some... Rather odd behavior coming from that front. Odd enough that when Bristow caught wind that they were offering their services to any wanderer, he decided he needed a man inside or, rather, two. 

Which was now why Sark and Sydney had a house with a white picket fence in a suburb that they both had a good suspicion was a front for some sort of Wanderer brainwashing protocol. It was probably the most uncomfortable thing either of them would ever have to do- Sark found it to be painfully domestic even with the constant threat hanging over their heads and Sydney, as she made a point to mention, found it to have far too much of him for her liking. Apparently, their "friendship" was only good in small doses.

"Mom?"

I hope the fences we've mended fall down beneath their own weight... )

Sark spent twenty minutes calculating whether or not he owed Harkness anything at all. Certainly, the man had saved his life, but considering a few months ago, Harkness's sadistic alter ego had rammed a metal skewer into his chest, he'd like to think that they were even now. Evidently, he was wrong.

"We would hate to impose on you," the Weevil went on, staring down at the little bundle in her arms. It wriggled and cried out and with a warbling that sounded like two gears grinding together, the Weevil gently shushed it. That done, she looked back up and Sark had to turn away if only to press the flat of his palm against his forehead to see if that might calm the raging headache he felt coming on. "You have done so much for us in slaying the sewer dragon."

"Well, we were in the area. No trouble at all, really." Sark was suddenly very glad he was trying to fend off a headache and therefore wasn't looking at Harkness. If he had to stare at that smug, heroic grin he could just imagine on his face, he was going to throw up. 

The Weevil went on for a bit about how their heroic deeds would be written down in their (regrettably small, at the present) archives and songs would be sung about how they slayed the dragon that had been terrorizing their people for months, and Sark wished that people would stop calling him noble. Really, between the Weevil and Ragnar, his reputation was completely shot.

"-And the prophecy..."

I know I created it, but I never planned it. )

(OOC: Not legally binding to any muse. Any problems with characterization with muses not mine are purely my fault, because I fail. Sark hates everything and he'd like everyone to know that. A sewer dragon had to die in writing this fic, because it was a sacrifice the island demanded.)

Fact: There's what appears to be a red-headed fourteen-year-old girl standing in front of him.

Fact: She seems to be calling him "Dad," despite the fact that he absolutely knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that he is far too young to have a fourteen-year-old daughter.

Fact: He's also 100% certain that he has no children in general, because that's definitely something he would know about.

Fact: Julian Sark is very, very confused right now.

Suppose we never fell in love... )

Oh, why the hell not? I could use some crack in my life. Stolen shamelessly from [livejournal.com profile] senseofliberty and Bekathing. 

Leave a comment and I will come up with the hypothetical kid between any of my muses and any of yours. I'm equal opportunity -- adoption counts just as much as organically produced babies (or even surrogacy!).. Or, hell, it could even be random alternate universe green-rifted kid from the FUTURE. It's not bindng and is pure crack. Hence why it's getting passed around like a joint at a college party. Whoo!

...And yes, I did post this meme here just because Sark was the only person who looked at the meme and went, "AHSHGDGSAJIHATEYOU." *halo*

You Are a White Tiger
You have a strong individualistic streak. You are unique and outspoken.
You have firm ideas of right and wrong. You will stand up for your unpopular beliefs with pride.

You believe that learning the truth is important. Even if it's ugly, uncomfortable, or awkward.
You give it to people straight, and you expect them to do the same. You can't stand ambiguity of any kind.

The really hilarious part is how much it doesn't FIT. Sark is just staring at it going, "....What?"
