thisbluespirit | No True Pair

Last Sunday the prompts went up for this round of

no_true_pair, which was fun - and then I immediately was extra ill all week, as you do. I did manage to draft out something in rough before then, but wasn't happy with it. However, today I scribbled down something I liked better, so i'm hopeful of posting something.

Anyway! My lists were (I did two):

1. Seventh Doctor
2. Eliza Scarlet
3. Charles Craddock
4. Sara Lance

1. Lucie Miller
2. Camille Bordey
3. Twelfth Doctor
4. Zari Tomaz

The prompts were:

1 & 3 - brighter than expected.
2 & 3 in the middle of the night
1 & 4 by firelight
Do 1 & 2 find the glass half-empty or half-full
2 & 4 with the title 'Up in the Air'
3 & 4 down to earth.

I've written in rough one for Eliza Scarlet & Charles Craddock + in the middle of the night. (I did Camille & Twelve, but it will need work, whereas that one was a obviously very easy and entertaining combination, as they could crash into each other on a case (pre-canon for Charles, though, although Miss Scarlet happens about 17 years before Lucy turns up at his door.) (My Prompt list #1 was Victorian PIs + Time Travellers; the second was just People I LIke Right Now.)

I do also like the idea of and want to have a go at:

Eliza Scarlet & Sara Lance (title up in the air) (I think Eliza would LOVE meeting Sara, and Sara would always appreciate someone like Eliza.)
Twelve & Zari - down to earth or Camille & Zari - by firelight. (<3)

and am deffo tempted by
Lucie & Twelve - brighter than expected (if I can think of something)
Seven & Eliza glass half-empty/half-full sounds pretty great, again, if I can think of something.
And anything to do with Charles Craddock & Sara Lance would be funny anyway (down to earth)

I put in some OC lists, but those are extras - I can use them as Pastels over at

rainbowfic in Amnesty anyway.

Of course, right now, I am writing this post instead of writing, so whether everything will happen in amnesty or nothing will happen at all, idk. I hope something will!

Thank you! At the moment, I'm intrigued as well... XD

Good luck with yours too!

I didn’t know you were watching Miss Scarlet and the Duke! It’s been airing on US public television and that’s how I picked it up. It’s fine, but comparisons to Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries are kind of inevitable and that’s a nearly impossible standard to live up to.

I've only just started - I recorded it ages ago, but my downstairs-telly watching is always so slow! (It takes more energy.) I've never watched Miss Fisher, but even so, I wouldn't have thought the comparisons were that inevitable - Eliza is yet another 19th C London detective, while Miss Fisher is in 1920s Australia. (It is reminding me of Ripper Street, but I suspect that may well be because it was also filmed in Dublin.) I really like it so far anyway, she has such a distinct voice I could put her name down on my list for writing after only 3 eps.

My Prompt list #1 was Victorian PIs + Time Travellers; the second was just People I LIke Right Now.

Both are excellent themes! Good luck with writing, and I hope you're feeling better! <3
