I've been wanting to try a meme again for a while, so I'll risk this, as it usually works out! For this kind of thing pretty much anything goes if I know it - check my interests and my tags for a rough idea of fandoms, but I'll just say if I don't know/can't write something.
Although I'm sorry I am still very weird about Doctor Who. I've decided I am okay with Twelve-era and Big Finish and nothing else yet, so those are the only bits of DW I will accept for the moment. Crossover pairings are okay, too. (I will get over it, but not yet apparently.)
Give me a character/pairing and I will write snippets of ten different alternate universes for it. One line, ten lines, a ficlet if you're lucky.
Wild West
Coffee Shop
Shapeshifters
Magic/Fairy Tale
. . . In SPACE!!
Historical
Canon Divergence
Crime/Detectives
Supernatural
Romance Novel
Characters I've already done in previous rounds. (I try to mix up the AUs a bit, but even so it's quite hard to do them differently a second time.)

no subject
Date: 2020-04-13 04:33 pm (UTC)I haven't actually heard any Lucie Miller. Have you listened to Dark Eyes? Because Molly was awesome. Or, could you do Peri and Erimem?
I'm not sure we both know anything else. I've watched a couple episodes of S&S, and it is great! But we got distracted and haven't gotten back to it. :(
no subject
Date: 2020-04-13 04:47 pm (UTC)I know!! 0_O
And I have actually listened to all of Dark Eyes and the whole of Molly's arc and I like her loads, so I shall have a go! (With the caveat that I was rather ill at the time and it's all a bit fuzzy.)
Lucie is great, btw, if your Big Finish adventures take you anywhere near her. They were very lucky to get Sheridan Smith before she went super-famous.
And I'm sorry about being weird about DW, I'm sure it will pass in time, but the S12 finale left me all floundering and peculiar and disinclined to write or watch much of it for a while.

And I am glad you had fun because I'm not sure I can do any of those, heh...
Like I said it's perfectly all right if not one of them speaks to you. ;-)
...although I did snap up a couple of Cadfael audios the other day so maybe I can manage Hugh if I listen to those?
That would certainly be cool. I've had a crush on Hugh since I first saw Sean Pertwee play him. While I didn't enjoy the other actors that played Hugh in the TV series, I got into reading the books from the TV series, where I found I truly love the character, so as long as the audios do decent treatments of the character in the books you'll have the proper Hugh in mind.
Or possibly Rochester or Aramis if I was a bit cracky.
I adore crack so do not worry in the least if all you can come up with is pure crack. Hell, one of my favorite Doctor and Companion pairings will always be Six with his ridiculous costuming and Frobisher at his Emperor Penguin in a trenchcoat and fedora crackiest. <3
Sort of a prompt fill at last - 4x Hugh Beringar AUs
Date: 2021-05-16 08:57 am (UTC)Wild West
“But he can’t.” Aline arrives at Doc Cadfael’s side and grips his arm, as they watch the two figures face off down the dusty Main Street. “The Deputy Sheriff will kill him.”
Cadfael’s gaze, like hers, is fixed on the slighter of the two. He pulls her back, gently. “We must trust he knows what he’s doing – and that he’s as fast a shot as he thinks he is.”
Coffee Shop
“One black coffee,” ordered DCI Beringar, catching Cadfael in a rare moment serving at the counter of the Priory Charity Tea Shop, instead of being hard at work on its attachment allotments. “Oh, and if you could make sure whichever employee it is you’re keeping out of my way is well out of my jurisdiction before the super gets onto me, I’d be grateful.”
“I can’t imagine what you mean, Inspector,” Cadfael said. “Can I tempt you to one of my colleague Robert’s superior cinnamon rolls?”
Shapeshifters
A fox’s form could be useful in hunting out evidence, but at certain times it had considerable drawbacks. Hugh could only thank God that the one soul on this earth who knew his secret without judging him was also, in a less literal sense, a wily old fox himself – enough to hide him from the hounds at need.
Supernatural
One corpse too many, that monk had said. Even worse, this one was moving – and the last thing Shrewsbury needed right now was an attack of the undead, as well as the living…
Re: Sort of a prompt fill at last - 4x Hugh Beringar AUs
Date: 2021-05-22 02:43 pm (UTC)It's okay. The important things are a) you had a lot of fun re-reading Cadfael for this, b) you got some scenarios done, and c) I think the ones you got done are all terrific. If I felt up to writing some Cadfael fic myself I would be tempted to run with the shapeshifters and-or supernatural scenarios.
Re: Sort of a prompt fill at last - 4x Hugh Beringar AUs
