I just realised that I have one thing in common with Martha. I have a crush on the Doctor. Embarrassing really. ::hangs head in shame:: But dude! He's so...yummy!

Step This Way To The Story

Please, please tell me that somewhere on the 'net there is a vid set to "Stuck in the middle with you" with the Doctor and his companions (including Jack) as the main characters? ::hopeful look:: Pleaaaaaase?

You know how there are OTPs and OT3s and other such things. I was thinking today on my way home from French class...I actually have 'One True Friendship'-s

Buffy OTF? Xander and Willow natch. I cannot abide fics with Willow or Xander bashing. They are friends, will always be friends and nobody will convince me otherwise.

HP OTF? Harry and Ron. See above for the bashing. Granted, Ron is a stubborn git with a temper that fits all the redhead cliches but I don't honestly think he would sabotage Harry in the way the bash!Ron fics have it. (I don't think Hermione would do it either but she's not in the OTF)

Doctor Who OTF? The Doctor and Rose. The explanation is already set out in the previous post about the last ep of Doctor Who. Those two are the best of friends, that's how I, personally, see it.

Angel OTF? Gunn/Wesley. Especially after Angel fires them. I love those two playing off each other and watching each other's back and damn Fred for ruining it even a little bit!

I don't have a Torchwood OTF though I guess Ianto/Toshiko could have developed or Ianto/Gwen could still do if they stop harping on about her and Jack. Hear me writers? STOP FLOGGING A DEAD HORSE! Ahem...yes...maybe if they bring in new people I'll get an OTF there.

Title: Staying in
Pairing: Gen
Summary: The Doc is in!
Rating: G
Disclaimer: The BBC has them, I just love them to bits.

( Wherein the Doctor isn't going anywhere )

Title: Comfort
Pairing: Ten/Jack/Ianto
Summary: Sometimes Jack has nightmares
Rating: PG for the threesomeness of it
Disclaimer: The BBC has them, I just love them to bits.

When Jack has nightmares, Ianto leaves the bed and goes to the kitchen. The first time he did it, he wanted to get away from the sight of Jack and the Doctor comforting each other without him being part of it. The second time, he just wanted something to do while the Doctor calmed Jack down.By the third time, it became part of the ritual.

Ianto accepts the fact that this is one situation where he can't help. He wasn't on the Valiant, he doesn't know what Jack went through. He accepts the fact, and most times he's okay with it. So he goes to the kitchen the TARDIS was kind enough to provide for him, simple human that he is, and he makes a cup of tea for the doctor and hot chocolate for Jack. He always comes back to find that they're both looking at the door, waiting for him.

So my Discworld muse left. In fact, not only did she leave, she closed up shop and joined the witness protection programme the ungrateful wench. Still, I'm not one to give up that easy. I sat down on my computer and I told to myself I said "Self, you shall stare down the barrel of  a gun, pee into the wind, face the blinking cursor of doom and write, write, <i>write</i>." Now, myself is a nice enough person, and can write all sorts of reports and memos and random work things under pressure so she rallied and wrote! Except instead of Discworld, she wrote two Dr Who ficlets. It's such a fickle self sometimes.

 

By the way...anyone else notice how the blinking cursor of doom is way, way more scary than the rabid plot bunnies? I mean, it doesn't do anything threatening, it just sits there and blinks but damn it freaks me out.

You know what I really, really want to read? Jack/Ianto/Doctor. The Tennant one, natch. I really, truly want to read a proper fic. Not just PWP (though those are nice of course) but a real proper fic, with a plot and everything. Maybe Jack and Ianto get to travel with the Doc for a bit. You know, Gwen got killed off along with the other two and the Doctor stumbles in to save them, a bit too late, and then they go with him.

In other news I'm about to rec RPF. Shocking I know ::grin:: Now, I don't usually read RPF for very, many reasons, one of which is that I can't really picture it happening. I mean, I know Xander well enough to picture him talk and walk and do stuff but Nicky Brendon, not so much. Hot though he is ::grin:: Aaaanyways, this is one fic that not only I can imagine happening but damn, I want it to have happened!

Close your eyes, and think of England stars David Thewlis (Remus in the HP films), David Tennant (current Doctor in Dr Who), John Barrowman (Captain Jack in Torchwood) and Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto in Torchwood) who meet up in a pub after Tennant finds out about the existence of Dr Who porn. It made me laugh. out. loud. And somewhere in my little head there is a world where that fic is reality. Because damn but they are some brilliant boys and they have to be friends!

While I'm reccing, you can read any of the author's fics and you won't be disappointed. ::nodnodnod:: They're brill!

use your imagination I'm not easy but I'm trueeeee


The Greek Eurovision entry is stuck in my head.

That is all.

::hums Secret Combination::

( NONONONONO )

So with my stomach and all I thought maybe I should watch House because House always makes me feel better.

( Yeah, that blew up in my face )

When my stomach suddenly decided to rebel against the rest of my body ::sigh:: I see plain pasta in my future. Possibly some toast.

This sucks.

I'm not very big on writing meta down. I tend to think about things while I walk or drive or just before I go to sleep and by the time I get to a keyboard I no longer feel like typing my thoughts up. Still, right after I watch an episode certain things stick to mind. To this end: ( Things I loved about this ep: )

( On tonight's Dr Who )

I have yet to watch the last three eps of Supernatural. I have two of them in my laptop but I'm waiting on the finale before I watch them. I've been so good about avoiding spoilers too! ::is proud of self::

Would it be cheating if I told you guys when my fic was posted up at rs_games? It's supposed to be anonymous and all but I've never taken part in any such thing so I don't know. In any event, a bunch of the fics are brilliant and deserve a read so go and read anyway. And vote! That's also good ::grin::

I started on the next bit of Deathboy though it's going slowly. I'm having trouble with the wizard voices. And I have to put it aside again for the second round of rs_games which has a deadline and thus must take precedence. Sorry folks.

I get the feeling I'm forgetting something fandom related ::fidgets:: Wish I knew what.

How cool is that?! It's for Spike and Xander's Excellent Hogwarts Adventure. The award is a Judge's Choice Ecstasy Award and the lovely judges said What happens when Spike and Xander are dropped into the bodies of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy during an argument while watching the latest movie? This fantastically funny, UST-filled adventure to find their way home. It may only be rated PG-13, but it'll definitely get your motor revving!

( I'm putting the pretty under a cut because I don't want to clutter your flist :) )

( I cried )

rs_games started posting ::grin:: I'm not allowed to vote 'cause I'm in them but you all should. ::nudges you all towards rs_games::

Now, because the posting is anonymous and I didn't get a chance to do this on the text preamble I'd like to take amoment to thank laazikaat for betaing my fic. ::waves:: Thank you again for helping me out sweetie!



The last part of Deathboy didn't get much feedback. I'm not complaining (much) because *I* like it so pffft to the rest of you ::grin:: Also 'cause some people responded to the poll. Turns out Spander is the way to go ::is shocked:: No, really.


I'm kinda sorta working on the drabble call from before. Turns out work was more hectic than I expected but I get a four day weekend so there will be drabbles posted soon. Tomorrow even!



In other news, it's hot and sunny! HOT! And SUNNY! ::is in heaven:: I missed this kind of weather. ::wriggles her toes in the sun::
