[ Points In Time Series ] [ Lure ] [ Possession ] [ Tightening Circles ] [ Sleeping
with the Enemy]
This, totally brilliant, British Vampire series, wowed me
when it was first broadcast on Channel Four back in the Autumn of 1999. I fell
in love with the story, the cast -  particularly moody, broody and gorgeous Michael Colefield - everything. This was modern day vampires and their hunters.
No gothic Nancy boys, or mini skirted slayers, but vampires that could not be
recorded by anything other than the human eye making 'surveillance a bitch'
(Vaughan). The plots were brilliant, the acting excellent, the writing superb
and the ambience dark, gloomy, tight, taut and fast. In a typical British
fashion the first brilliant series was the last! A DVD, giving six marvellous
hours of sublime story telling by Joe Ahearne, the only thing left. Check
the Ultraviolet Official Home Page
to read more about it. This series
led me into writing fan fiction. I wanted to read more, particularly about
Michael and his relationship with Jack, but could find little or
nothing to read. It was also my first introduction to
slash and, after an
initial shock, I fell into it with abandon. If slash is not your cup of tea, the
Points in Time Series is mostly rated PG, and by avoiding Part 3, and
probably Part 4, can be read without flinching. <grin>
The stories below were written for adults.

This was my first piece
of fan fiction. I sent it, in a different order, to a UV mailing list over the
autumn of 2000. At the beginning of 2001, having learnt more about writing fan
fiction, I took it out, dusted it up, rechecked the grammar and
punctuation and posted it to BritSlash. I never had a beta, but I must have
reread the thing 100's of times. I can see errors now, but on the whole I'm
really pleased with this. I like it all, but Aftermath, and it's reflection on
Pearse, is perhaps the best part. I regret that I mentioned Angie so little, but
I made up for that in another story.
Genre: Drama, M/J slash first time. 92K
Jack's reappearance, courtesy of Michael, gives the Code V's the lever
they've always wanted to infiltrate the Squad. Jack, however, has alternate
plans . July
01
This is not one of my best
stories. The punctuation make me cringe, but it's okay. I
did a little experiment, Jack's parts were in first person point of view, while Michael's
were in third person point of view. It seemed to work. This is really a PWP?
Genre: Action/Adventure, Drama. M/F, M/J slash first time. 112K
Michael becomes a pawn in Jack's plotting and subterfuge. August
01
Better than Lure, but only by a little, and with a plot.
Genre: Action/Adventure, Drama. Hurt/Comfort. M/J slash first time. M/ofc. 259K
Michael in entrapped by his loneliness, dislike for his job, another's plans
for him, and the ever present threat of the Code V's. He plans his escape, but
things never seem to go right for him. November 01
By this time, I had found a beta, who fortunately also liked
Stargate and the X-Files. David read this, made excellent comments and really
helped me tighten this up, no pun intended. I like this. It has a strong plot,
holds together and the ending is 'just right'. See what you think.
Genre: Crossover with the X-Files. Drama. Slash M/J Established,
Mulder/Krycek first time. 178K
Fox Mulder is used by the British Code V's. December 02
This is more an X-Files story than an UV one, and is mainly in
Mulder's POV. I think the two universes work well together. I love UV and
Michael and Jack, but was failing to come up with anything original. Sarah
fitted me in to her extremely busy work and study schedule, and gave me her
usual great beta. David suggested that parts of the guy's
conversation sounding like ''a cocktail party of nelly queens!" so I did a
quick rewrite :-P, and Boltonia bravely took on the Americanizer role
despite not knowing anything about UV. Thanks to you all.
Note: This has now turned into a series, but the second part
can hardly be termed an Ultraviolet crossover as the action now takes place in
America with American Code V's, and is focused entirely on Mulder and Krycek. Go
here if you want to read further.
Disclaimers: The characters Jack, Michael, Pearse, Vaughan, Angie etc.
from 'Ultraviolet' belong to Channel 4/World Productions and the wonderful
writer, Joe Ahearne. I am just taking them out to play
with, and will return them as found. No copyright
infringement is intended, and and no profit is being made from their use.
Original characters belong to me, although some of them are so nasty I'm not too
sure I want to keep them. *g*
