Have a lovely few months people :)

Title: If You Pass Go, Do Not Collect £200
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Owen/Ianto
Challenge/Prompt: fanfic100, 079. When?
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 12,380
Genre: Slash
Summary: Ianto is sent to rescue Owen from 19th Century London, but he’s less than impressed by what Owen has been doing to survive.
Author’s Notes: Also known as The Inadvisable Owen/Ianto Crack!Fic Of Potential Mental Instability. How’s this for slightly psychotic? I didn’t want to write an historical AU, but after seeing Burn as Bill Sikes in Oliver! (twice) I couldn’t get over the idea of Owen/Ianto in a Victorian setting. Which is where this utterly insane idea came from. I honestly wasn’t going to write it, but then… I did. *is broken* Obviously I’ve barely researched this; but that really wasn’t the object of the exercise. Oh, and I can’t remember when Queen Victoria established Torchwood, so let’s just say it exists, yeah?

Title: Looking Through The Mirror
Fandom: Spooks [Half The Truth AU]
Pairing: Adam/Lucas
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3262
Genre: Slash
Spoilers: 7x07
Summary: “Your place or mine?” Lucas’ smile is grim and a little pained, but he seems to be serious.
Author’s Notes: *points pointedly at rating* While obviously I don’t like what happened in episode seven at all… you know, thank God. Because I was seriously starting to think I wasn’t going to be able to push the guys into a sexual situation, and then this happened. So, you know, at least it paid off in that respect. Love to The Ting Tings’ cover of Standing In The Way Of Control, which is mainly what I listened to while writing this.

Title: I Wrote Your Name Upon The Back Of My Hand
Fandom: X-Men Origins: Wolverine (movieverse)
Pairing: Wolverine/Gambit {Logan/Remy}
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3800
Genre: Slash
Copyright: Title is from Twilight Omens by Franz Ferdinand.
Summary: Set post-movie. Remy thinks about his answer, and settles on: “You’ve said that before.”
Author’s Notes: I started watching the film at 11:45 this morning (the first showing of the day; I was one of about three girls in the cinema, and the only one not dragged by a fanboy). It is now *checks watch* 17:05, and here is my first piece of fanfiction. Set in the movieverse, but possibly with bits of the comicverse because, you know, I adore Gambit endlessly and forever.

I'm pretty fucking proud of this, actually.

Title: One Two Three (But Only You And Me)
Fandom: Spooks [Half The Truth AU]
Pairing: Adam/Lucas
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3000
Genre: Slash
Spoilers: 7x06 [and slightly the deleted 7x01 scenes on the BBC website]
Summary: “I don’t know if Lucas even likes you and I know he doesn’t trust you, but I think you’re the only one capable of stopping him from coming straight back here in an hour’s time.”
Author’s Notes: Part six (good grief, how’d I get here?); now things start getting a little more interesting. I’ve got part seven done so I just need to check through it and then I’ll get that online; then it’s just part eight and I’ll get this done before I leave the country. Thanks for sticking with me and being patient; I’ve been enjoying writing this series so much!

Title: An Attempt At A Romantic Comedy In Eight Acts (Only Without The Comedy Part)
Fandom: Britannia High
Pairing: Jez/BB
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6105
Genre: Slash
Summary: BB and Jez aren’t actually dating. But no one else seems to have noticed this.
Author’s Notes: A {kind of belated} birthday present for the lovely finkpishnets; we have several fandoms and OTPs in common, but she is so completely my Britannia High person, so Jez/BB it is :)

Title: From Where I Stand You’re In My Sky
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur {past Merlin/Will, slight Arthur/Superman; it almost makes sense in context}
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 17,520
Genre: Slash
Copyright: Title is from Marys Of The Sea by Tori Amos.
Summary: AU. Arthur looks away from the terrified, accusing dark eyes of the man on the newspaper, and turns his attention to his breakfast.
Author’s Notes: Erm, I should say: contains minor character death. Ok, so the Teacup ‘verse was all Heroes-esque, while this story is considerably more Watchmen-esque (yes, so I keep reading it and going to see it although it gives me nightmares, shush). Because I really do like superheroes and everything :) Although I will confess I kind of slipped into the cliché of evil!Uther, which I have so endeavoured not to do before, because otherwise this universe wouldn’t work. And now I really will stop writing Merlin-characters-as-Superheroes stories, and try something else! For one thing, these stories always get much longer and more complicated than I mean them to be.

Title: all bets are off, we’re on the dark side of the sun
Fandom: Robin Hood
Pairing: Guy/Robin [slight Guy/Allan, boys/Marian]
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3560
Genre: Slash
Copyright: Title is from Dark Side Of The Sun by Tori Amos.
Warnings: Spoilers up to 3x01, major character deaths.
Summary: AU. Hood’s men are killed, England is once again protected from the outlaws, and Guy knows that no one can stop them now.
Author’s Notes: Oh My God, Richard Armitage has got yummier than ever; oh, that hair. Oh, that eye make-up. Oh, the new clothes. *fans self* Obviously Guy/Allan is my OTP, but I couldn’t resist writing this anyway. Basic premise is: what if there was no Tuck to be all Jedi? Features lots and lots of madness, and maybe it’s OOC, and maybe it isn’t, but I had a crazy fun time writing it anyway.

Title: Experiments In A Minor
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Owen/Ianto
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3700
Genre: Slash
Summary: “Did I miss the part where I get a choice? And really, I’m disappointed you haven’t brought me flowers.”
Author’s Notes: Set post 2x05, and inspired a little bit by the deleted scene on the DVD where Owen calls his mum. I’m not necessarily saying anything new, I just love writing all the different dynamics between my boys. Also, I haven’t done Ianto’s POV of O/I for a while.

Title: And The Spiders From Mars
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: Ten, Martha
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1530
Genre: Gen
Copyright: *looks at you* If you don’t know, then I pity you.
Summary: Slightly AU. “Ok, so on this planet you’re some kind of rock star.”
Author’s Notes: UNADULTERATED PERSONAL CRACK; probably dreadfully written but oh well. With love to finkpishnets, who told me about David Tennant With A Guitar in the first place (I was out of the room washing my hair for fifteen minutes! How was I to know what I was missing?!) For anyone who watched the Comic Relief Top of the Pops and went: “look, David Tennant in a white suit playing guitar with Franz Ferdinand! Yay!” And I could have done this with any companion, but we’ve established that Martha is my favourite, so: *grins*

( And The Spiders From Mars )

Title: Well, Tomorrow We’ll Wake Up Entwined In Red Tape
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Jack/Suzie
Challenge/Prompt: 7rainbowprompts #2 Blowing Bubbles
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6905
Genre: Het
Summary: Five things Yvonne Hartman tried to fire Jack and Suzie for (or: five times Jack utterly failed to impress Suzie).
Author’s Notes: Because not everything Suzie-related has to be doom and gloom, and once the ‘five things’ idea popped into my head I couldn’t resist writing it. Plus, Jack/Suzie is so my OTP. Naturally I’ve fucked a bit with the timeline, but then Fragments never actually said when Suzie was hired, so: *shrugs* Also, it worked out kind of longer than I meant it to be, because I have so much fun writing unintentionallysociopathic!Jack&Suzie.

( Well, Tomorrow We’ll Wake Up Entwined In Red Tape )

Title: Some Day, She Might Look Back On This And Laugh
Fandom: CSI:NY
Characters: Lindsay; Danny, Adam
Challenge/Prompt: psych_30 #28 Free Association & fanfic100 002. Middles
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1620
Genre: Gen/het
Summary: Her first words are: “Oh my God, I’m such a slut.”
Author’s Notes: Spoilers for 5x09. I love how Danny and Lindsay are basically canonically turning into bad fanfiction and I don’t care. *snickers* I like the random Adam&Lindsay friendship that appeared as I was writing, though!

( Some Day, She Might Look Back On This And Laugh )

Title: I Don’t Listen To Your Radio Show
Fandom: Green Wing
Pairing: Mac/Guy [slight Mac/Holly]
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2140
Genre: Slash
Summary: “I refuse to be fucking guilt-tripped by fucking weather,” he mutters eventually.
Author’s Notes: …Because I wanted to? I don’t really have a good excuse, I just wanted to. Plus, when a bunny bites you at one in the morning and you have to get out of bed and creep around your flat trying to find a notebook to write down dialogue exchanges you might as well see the whole thing through.

( I Don’t Listen To Your Radio Show )

Title: ‘Cause A Ghost Don’t Feel Love Or Nothing
Fandom: Spooks [Half The Truth AU]
Pairing: Adam/Lucas
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2305
Genre: Slash
Spoilers: 7x05 [and slightly the deleted A/L scene on the BBC website]
Summary: Adam forgets what he came here for, watching Lucas struggle with the tie.
Author’s Notes: Yay! I’m back after my ridiculously long hiatus; sorry about that guys, btw. I enjoyed this episode far, far too much and so had to restrain myself; just because I want to jump Lucas like, a lot, it doesn’t make it ok for Adam to do that (at least; not at this point in the series). Seriously though, I want some kind of undercover!Lucas/Adam; that would rock my world. I’ll have to give it a go when this series is finished. Anyway, there totally won’t be as long a wait between this and the next one!

( ‘Cause A Ghost Don’t Feel Love Or Nothing )

Title: Very Possibly My Least Favourite Person Ever
Fandom: Green Wing
Pairing: Mac/Guy
Rating: PG-15
Word Count: 1420
Genre: Slash
Summary: The first time they have sex, it is bad. Really bad.
Author’s Notes: Because it’s been nearly five years since I first watched Green Wing, and I’m not fourteen any more, so I finally feel confident enough to write for the fandom. A little bit. *cowers* And I’m really enjoying having Green Wing on my ipod even though I will mostly be saving it for my trip to Europe when I shall be spending inordinate amounts of time on trains. Hmmm. I quite like this fic, though it got weirdly fluffity around the edges.

( Very Possibly My Least Favourite Person *Ever* )

Title: We’re A Storm In Somebody Else’s Teacup: Epilogue
Fandom: Merlin {Modern!AU}
Characters: Morgana, Arthur {references to Arthur/Merlin and Lance/Gwen}
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2040
Genre: Gen
Summary: In which Morgana knows something Arthur doesn’t; or thinks she does, anyway.
Author’s Notes: Ok, so I lied. This is it though, now, I promise. It’s just that this idea wouldn’t let go of me until I’d written it down (based on something Gaius tells Arthur in part eight), and it’s set as a separate coda so that if you don’t want it to become part of this fic’s canon then you don’t need it to. And I’m done now, really.

This hasn’t been posted to any comms as I’m not sure whether it’s part of the fic or not, really.

Title: If You Will Not Have Me, You May Let Me Go
Fandom: Hamlet
Pairing: Fortinbras/Horatio [past Horatio/Laertes]
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4780
Genre: Slash
Copyright: Title is an excellent piece of music by Bellowhead.
Summary: It has been a long year, Horatio reflects, teeth wine-stained.
Author’s Notes: Set post-play, and written backwards, because I am pretentious like that and everything (if you want, you can just scroll straight to the end and read upwards). Because karaokegal reminded me how much I enjoy writing for Hamlet :D Yay for mad!bastard!Horatio.

27/2/09 - EDITED for a truly shocking number of typos. *tuts at self* I know I didn’t finish this until 2:30 in the morning, but it’s still no excuse.
