WHO DAILY: a href="http://neadods.livejournal.com/786127.html">A Dark and Stormy Fright by lj user="neadods"> (Nine, Rose, Jack | PG )

My entry in the OT3 ficathon for calliopes_pen, who wanted Jack, Rose, and Nine telling each other ghost stories in a haunted house.

TITLE: A Dark and Stormy Fright
RATING: PG
SPOILERS: None
CHARACTERS: Nine, Jack, Rose
Thank you to persiflage_1 and lukadreaming for beta

Teaser:
"I told you," the Doctor said with a hint of impatience. "There are no such things as ghosts. They can't hurt you because they don't exist."

"That's such a comfort," Jack said, staring pointedly at an ominous blotch on the stonework in front of the fire. "Whatever tries to kill us won't be a ghost."

The Doctor beamed at him. "Right!" At Jack's frown he scoffed, "Ah, I've got everything we need right here." With a manic grin, he pulled out a bag of marshmallows and three antique toasting forks. "See?"




( It was the stereotypical dark and stormy night. )

T3, WhoDaily: a href="http://neadods.livejournal.com/759501.html">UNITwood by lj user="neadods"> (UNIT family, Four/Sarah Jane | PG | no spoilers)

TITLE: UNITWOOD
RATING: PG
SPOILERS: none
DISCLAIMER: Unauthorized doesn't begin to cover it. Everything property of the BBC.

Written for hhertzof for The Cliché-Swap Ficathon. Contains Four/Sarah Jane, UNIT family, and all the Torchwood cliches I can think of.


UNITWOOD


"What's this nonsense about you outside the government and police, what, what?" barked the very clipped, very irritated voice on the other end of the telephone.

The Brigadier sighed. "No, sir, you have it a bit backwards. To drive here, you go outside the Government building, turn left, keep going until you're at the intersection beyond the police station, turn left again, about three miles you take the exit to Little Pickering and four miles after that is our secret base. You can't miss it; there's a big sign saying UNITWOOD."

There was a horrified squawk from the other end of the line, in which the words "opsec" and "official secrets" and "bloody idiots" merged into one noise of outrage.

( 'It does say that unauthorized personnel should keep out,' the Brigadier said defensively. )

I keep thinking about Operation Awesome, and how I need to give it that final polish, put it on Teaspoon, and actually give it a little bit of advertising.

But I also keep thinking about how I both like the ending and think it's OTT. So: a poll.

( The original ending of Operation Awesome )



( An alternative from a much earlier (better?) draft. )


[Poll #1251830]




(I'm frankly trying not to think about how this post is going to get much more of a response than the one from this morning, but am trying to chalk this up to the international flavor of my flist.)

"Oh hello! I got your email. I think a regular gathering would be-"

"Put me through to Jack. We have a situation."

"Invasion? Possession?"

"I think the best way of describing it is 'man down.' I don't know about Torchwood, but UNIT doesn't leave one of its own behind."

To be crossposted when finished. Have at; sing out if there's something that doesn't work or needs Brit-picking; as usual, I'm using the f-list as a big old beta.

TITLE: No Rest For the Wicked
CHARACTERS: Nine/Six, Evelyn Smythe
RATING: R. NSFW
SPOILERS: none
DISCLAIMER: Not an authorized tie-in
AUTHOR NOTE: I know perfectly well that wendymr was expecting crack when she suggested Nine/Six slash in the "Things I Would Never Write" meme... especially as the Colin "Boom-chicka-bow-wow" Baker picture had recently been reposted.

However? Not so much with the crack in the execution.




They say travel lets you find yourself, although they usually don't mean it literally. Still, there was no mistaking the eye-watering coat slung over the chair. The Doctor looked to see where he might be loitering, but to his relief, he was out of sight.

Rassilon! The real reason we weren't allowed to cross our own timelines is the pronouns get too confusing!

( The TARDIS was backfiring again. Who'd have thought his ship would prove to have a stronger survival instinct than him? )

A silly fic based on dune_drd's idea, in search of a title and some feedback:


It is a truth universally acknowledged among Academy students that the professors run a betting book before the novices' initiation. This is not true. After centuries of studying temporal mechanics and correcting every possible student mistake, the professors are more time-sensitive than even the agents of the Celestial Intervention Agency. They do not need to bet, they already know.

( And that is why the night before this initiation, they had decamped en mass from the Citadel to the Mountains of Solace and Solitude to find solidarity and solace in vast quantities of alcohol. )

Part 2


CHAPTER THREE – "YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO FLIRT WITH THAT!"

( Jack took a step, almost tripped, and took a moment to test his limits, standing on one leg while stretching his other foot gingerly out. The chain was slightly shorter than his natural stride. )

CHAPTER 1 – THE T3 CHALLENGE


Rose raised her hands as the squad swarmed towards them. “And to think, you swore that this would be one of the quiet layovers.”

“You thought she was in trouble too,” the Doctor replied defensively as he put his hands up as well.

Jack was too busy clutching his groin to raise either hands or objections.

( It was supposed to have been one of those boring stops. )
