Title: Yes; We Were, Once
Fandom: Desperate Romantics
Characters: Fred, Gabriel, Annie [slightly Gabriel/Fred, other pairings hinted at]
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4000
Genre: Gen [het/slash]
Summary: “I did not destroy your soul,” Gabriel scoffs.
Author’s Notes: Set eight years in the future after the series ended. I’ve read the book so I know how it all turned out, and I’ve referenced a few things in here. So it’s sort of like a series two of DR, only with stuff I want to happen in it and not nearly as good. Finished because Amazon have sent me an email to tell me my Desperate Romantics DVD has been despatched; OHMYGODFUCKINGYES. Ahem. So I am undoubtedly going to spend the next ever holed up watching the boys and girls all over again.

Title: He Closes Early On Thursdays
Fandom: Being Human
Characters: George, Annie, Mitchell
Challenge/Prompt: paliphrase, “Never”
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2520
Genre: Gen
Summary: This is the part where he runs, you know.
Author’s Notes: Fifteen things that didn’t happen in the season finale. I have no idea where this idea came from, but come it did, and I was running a temperature at the time of writing, so... just read and enjoy. Contains various permutations of major character deaths.

Title: Don’t Linger Love, Come Take My Hand
Fandom: Hamlet
Characters: Horatio, Ophelia; Hamlet, Laertes
Challenge/Prompt: paliphrase, “Never”
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 7300
Genre: Gen [het]
Copyright: Title is from Ophelia by Jon Boden.
Summary: Horatio looks down at the trembling woman encircled in his arms and feels something break, something that he did not know that he had until now.
Author’s Notes: Not that I expect anyone to read this, I just wanted to write it and I’m very proud of it. I’ve fucked with the timeline a little, but plausibly so. I saw Jude Law’s Hamlet, which inspired me to write this. Ophelia’s appearance here, and her death, are inspired by the painting of Ophelia by John Everett Millais (I’ve a renewed interest in it because of Desperate Romantics, but it’s always been one of my favourite paintings). Slightly Horatio/Ophelia if you squint, but it’s not meant to be that sort of story, though there is a very creepy Polonius/Ophelia undercurrent that you may try to ignore.

Title: Bring Your Own Sun
Fandom: Desperate Romantics
Characters: Lizzie; everyone [Gabriel/Lizzie]
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4310
Genre: Gen [het]
Copyright: Welcome To England by Tori Amos.
Summary: “Tell me, Johnny; when will I start to feel blessed?”
Author’s Notes: Set between episodes six and seven. I don’t expect anyone to read this, I wrote it for me in about three hours on squared paper. But I’m very, very pleased with this anyway. And although it’s not overtly there, I found a Johnny/Lizzie undertone developing that I enjoyed a lot. Hmmm. I did so enjoy writing crazed, drugged, unhappy Lizzie.

Title: You Don’t See Me
Fandom: Iron Man (movieverse)
Pairing: Tony/Pepper
Challenge/Prompt: 100_women, 083. Here
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2650
Genre: Gen/Het
Copyright: Title is a Keane song.
Timeline: Pre-movie
Summary: Years of this sort of thing have taught her discretion if nothing else.
Author’s Notes: Set pre-movie. These two are just… cute. I couldn’t resist it. Though this is practically gen, I’ve accidentally prevented anything of a relationship-type nature happening. *shocked face* I’m not really achieving anything with this either, it’s just… a few moments tied together.

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*

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: 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: Black Ice Ribbons Her Liberty
Fandom: Doctor Who
Character: Lucy [slight Master/Lucy]
Challenge/Prompt: doctorwho_100, 067. Snow
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2002
Genre: Gen [Het]
Summary: But the flakes that caught on her eyelashes and scattered through her hair were warm, and they were ash.
Author’s Notes: Another piece of Epic Snow Situation celebration, because I love Lucy a lot. Anyone know if there’s going to be another series of Hotel Babylon so I can squee over Alexander Moen and her awesomeness?

Title: No Rest For The –
Fandom: Demons
Characters: Luke, Rupert, Ruby, Mina
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1580
Genre: Gen
Summary: Galvin is standing in six inches of snow and looking generally pissed about the situation. He glowers up at Luke’s window.
Author’s Notes: A random little ficlet to celebrate the Epic Snow Situation, because I was really bored at work.

( No Rest For The – )

Title: No Straight And Narrow
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: Eleven; Donna, Lucy, Sarah Jane, Martha, Jack
Challenge/Prompt: The Lucy part of this has been submitted to doctorwho_100, 029. Body.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 5160
Genre: Gen
Copyright: Tickle Me Pink, Johnny Flynn
Summary: The Doctor isn’t entirely sure who he is, but he does know who he was.
Author’s Notes: Congrats to Matt Smith (even if he does have the most boring name ever)! We can come back to this in 2010 and laugh at how horribly wrong I was. Oh, and since I don’t even know what costume Eleven is going to wear, I’ve dressed him up in what he’s wearing in the promo shot with the TARDIS. Unless that is his costume… As for adding lyrics to each vignette, that was ‘cause I was listening to Johnny Flynn while finishing this and I got distracted by how well the song fit what I wrote. I’m sure you’ll see what I mean.

Title: Desdemona’s Handkerchief Was A White Flag Too
Fandom: Quantum Of Solace
Character: Strawberry [James/Strawberry]
Challenge/Prompt: 100_women, 076. Strawberries
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1800
Genre: Gen/het
Summary: James Bond’s photograph falls out of an envelope on a day that is like every other.
Author’s Notes: People have been so mean about Gemma Arterton, saying she’s not pretty enough to be a Bond girl and all that. But I love her to little pieces and so I wrote this for her, because I think she’s completely fucking awesome. Obviously: spoilers. And yes, I have been even more sparing with the chronology & stuff than usual. I reallyreally freaked myself out writing this though.

( Desdemona’s Handkerchief Was A White Flag Too )

Title: Could’ve Been Anyone
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Ianto; Owen, Tosh, Jack, Gwen, John (slightly Owen/Ianto if you tilt your head to one side and squint, and a trace of John/Ianto)
Challenge/Prompt: fanfic100, 083. And
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 5430
Genre: Gen
Copyright: Bits & pieces of Could’ve Been Anyone by Aimee Mann
Summary: “You should just stick to offering people coffee and picking up dry-cleaning.”
Author’s Notes: I’m not trying to get a whole cohesive story together; more a series of vignettes of the random awesomeness that is Ianto’s life. So it’s all the little Torchwood scenes I always wanted to write shuffled together because I couldn’t make them form a long, proper story individually. It’s not set in a specific time period, but there are vague season 2 finale spoilers right at the end. And areas of this could prove slightly problematic if you’re not vaguely familiar with British kids’ TV shows, though that’s what Wiki was made for ;)

Title: Next Time, I Will Remember This And I Will Say 'No' [1/2]
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 8540
Genre: Slash
Timeline: Set in an imaginary future a few months down the line, slight spoilers for the first 3 episodes.
Summary: “Arthur wants you to pretend to be him so that he doesn’t have to get married to Princess Helena?”
Author’s Notes: Well, I wanted to get this plotline out of the way early on in the fandom before someone else did it (it’s hardly the most original of bunnies). I’ve probably taken a few liberties with the geography, but since the show has smoked pigeon sandwiches I feel it’s not that much of a transgression. Also? It’s mythic, so sod historical accuracy; I haven’t given them ipods and I feel that’s good enough. With love for widowedanthem, who sends me lovely texts about the slashy awesomeness of the boys.

Title: How To Utilise Paradoxes For Fun And Profit
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Eight/Lucy [hints at the Master/Lucy]
Challenge/Prompt: doctorwho_100 002. Middles
Rating: PG
Word Count: 7375
Genre: Gen/het
Summary: “You’re a mystery, Lucy Saxon,” the Doctor tells her with a pleased grin.
Author’s Notes: I didn’t want to write 100 fics of crazyness, after all. This is dedicated to Ant, who is not going to read this, but he runs a Doctor Who online forum and was kind enough to lend me the TV movie so I could meet Eight in person, rather than in BBC radio plays. Damn, he’s pretty with his curly hair. And I suppose I’ve made Lucy into a slight River Song figure, but what the hell. It’s personal crack.

Title: Some Days, The Miranda Rights Sound Like A Prayer
Fandom: CSI:NY
Characters: Lindsay; Peyton, Flack, Mac, Stella, Sheldon, Danny
Challenge/Prompt: psych_30 17. Group Think & fanfic100 070. Storm
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6102
Genre: Gen [het]
Warning: Contains major character death.
Summary: Your mom called; she wants to know if you’re dead yet.
Author’s Notes: I’m writing a lot of apocalypse-type fics at the moment, I’m not entirely sure why. Set between seasons 3 and 4 I suppose. Or in a world where season 4 doesn’t exist. Something like that.

Title: Acquaint Me With Your Fuck-Ups
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Ianto, Suzie & everyone else [Jack/Suzie, Owen/Suzie, Ianto/Lisa, slight Jack/Ianto]
Challenge/Prompt: fanfic100 081. How? & 7rainbowprompts #7. Sneaky
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6320
Genre: Gen
Summary: You’d have to be bloody mad to want to work here. Are you?
Author’s Notes: This idea clung onto me during Fragments and I couldn’t get rid of it. Plus Ianto&Suzie friendship just rules my whole world. You totally know they were BFFs in the days before Gwen arrived; they were enigmatic and kind of emo together. Oh yeah. Plus I can’t write Suzie without including her [canon] relationship with Owen and her [you know it’s canon] relationship with Jack.

Rating: PG-15
Word Count: 2365
Genre: Gen [het]
Summary: “My Master did it better,” she mumbles; a distraction.
Author’s Notes: Spoilers for Journey’s End. Because I might as well get the characters that were unfortunately left out of the finale in there! I have somehow inadvertently managed to include a tiny hint at child molestation too.

Title: Major Tom’s A Junkie
Fandom: Ashes To Ashes
Character: Alex [hints at Gene/Alex and Evan/Alex]
Challenge/Prompt: 100_women, 007. Present
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1740
Genre: Gen [het]
Copyright: Title is from Ashes To Ashes by David Bowie (of course)
Summary: “My subconscious is fucked-up,” Alex decides aloud. “And you’re puppets.”
Author’s Notes: I totally meant to write some Alex/Shaz (because how cute and manipulative would that be?) and then this came out instead. *blinks* I still don’t really like Alex, but god is she entertainingly screwed up. And therefore great to write. Set after the first series, so random spoilers.

Title: My Mistress’ Sparrow Is Dead
Fandom: House MD
Characters: Wilson, Chase, House, Cameron, Foreman, Thirteen
Pairings: hints of Wilson/Amber, Chase/Cameron, and Wilson-Chase and Wilson-House friendship.
Challenge/Prompt: fanfic100 095. New Year and 100moods 069. Numb
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 5105
Genre: Gen [het]
Copyright: Title is something to do with a kind of filthy poem by… Catullus? Something like that. But it seemed to fit this anyway.
Summary: Wilson is… well, no one is sure what Wilson is doing but it’s probably not healthy.
Author’s Notes: Spoilers for S4; this is a tie-in for Wilson’s Heart. ‘Cause I’m excessively morbid at the moment. Lots of intention run-on sentences and the conversations that go nowhere, since I like them so much :)
