FIC: Parallax

Title: Parallax
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Hologram!Tenth Doctor, Simm!Master.
Date Written: 2007
Summary: We change to fit our environments, our times, the places we’re forced to call home. We change to fit our enemies, and in the process, become like them – hunting monsters and all that.
Rating/Warnings: PG, minor language.
Notes: This struck me at first as a purely humorous idea, was just going to be a drabble- then it presented itself as a reasonable scenario as to why the Master would end up in modern-day London of all places, THEN it insisted it was also an interesting character piece showcasing just how much more alike these characters have become over the years. Sorry. I can’t ever just write Silly without it turning into Serious.
Spoilers: Utopia.

( He’s not sure whether to be worried for his own prospects, or proud. )

FIC: Combien de Temps Chapters 1-4

Title: Combien de Temps
Chapter(s): 1-4 - Outside
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane.
Date Written: 2007
Summary: Good faith, bad faith, dead worlds, fake gods, and what happens when you stop believing in yourself.
Rating/Warnings: PG for some disturbing imagery.
Notes: Title translates loosely to ‘how much time’. This is my attempt at a multi-part story, with a plot, that does not tie into any existing episodes/plot holes/missing scenes. Some new series continuity later on. ALSO: This will eventually be finished. I promise.

( We’re going to crash. Probably die. And your jokes are getting worse. )

Title: Combien de Temps
Chapter(s): 5-7 - Inside
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane.
Date Written: 2007
Summary: Good faith, bad faith, dead worlds, fake gods, and what happens when you stop believing in yourself.
Rating/Warnings: PG for some disturbing imagery.
Notes: Title translates loosely to ‘how much time’. This is my attempt at a multi-part story, with a plot, that does not tie into any existing episodes/plot holes/missing scenes. Some new series continuity later on. ALSO: This will eventually be finished. I promise.

( Somewhere in the white, they fall into one another. )

FIC: Flowers on Fire

Title: Flowers on Fire
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Various Doctors, Various Masters, Doctor/Master if you squint.
Date Written: 2007
Summary: They burn, in the darkness and the light, circling round each other like binary stars just on the edge of nova. They both burn, but they do not burn the same.
Rating/Warnings: G - nothing offensive, amazingly.
Notes: Clearly the new series has done away with all of the looms/no children/etc nonsense, and good riddance I say. Quotes courtesy T.S. Eliot, ‘Ash-Wednesday’, 1930.
Spoilers: SE03 finale arc, and other scattered bits.

( Even here and now, as young as they are, they start to make plans. )

FIC: A Handful of Dust

Title: A Handful of Dust
Fandom: M*A*S*H
Characters/Pairings: BJ, peripheral others.
Date Written: 2008
Summary: Shadows rise and shadows fall, and living in an illusion is nothing if not a waiting game.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 for imagery.
Notes: Wow, I finally wrote something for my first fandom. After all these years, MASH is still the only thing I love that loves me back. Second-person, which I know is weird. It’s just how it wanted to be written.
Spoilers: All over the place, but the series is over 20 years old at this point. SORRY.

( A day you start out alive is a good day, a day you finish dead is a bad day, and everything in between in just a matter of degree. )

FIC: Running the Banner Down

Title: Running the Banner Down
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Five, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan in the periphery.
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Tear down the person you were, get out from under the shadows, rebuild with what you have left. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like enough, and sometimes the cost is too high.
Rating/Warnings: G. No warnings.
Notes: I imagine all of his regenerations have involved some degree of letting go and moving on, but none like this one. Quote is from "I Could Give All to Time" by Robert Frost.
Spoilers: Various points ranging from Castrovalva to Earthshock.

( Reinvention doesn’t brook half-measures; this business is all or nothing. )

FIC: Round the Prickly Pear

Title: Round the Prickly Pear
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Rorschach, Dan, misc others.
Date Written: 2009
Summary: ... at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Rating/Warnings: PG or so, which is INSANE given the source material.
Notes: This is my attempt at the ten songs, ten fics meme, with a few adaptations. To clarify, the idea is: iTunes on shuffle, and only work on a given ficlet until the song you're writing it to is over, then move on. So, these are time-crunched, unrevised, a little rough around the edges. Note 1: Most of these ended up being about Dan or Rorschach or their friendship, because I am fixated. Note 2: I cheated in one small way - after I'd written all of these I reordered them into something resembling chronological order. OCD SORRY. And I also cheated on the very last song in a way I'll explain in its notes. Note 3: Primarily movie-verse for some specific reasons. I LOVE YOU, GN. BUT YOU ARE NOT WHAT I NEED RIGHT NOW.
Spoilers: The story?

( Maybe some of them are more self-destructive than others, and maybe they shouldn't have been dancing along that edge for so long. )
