So, last night Remix Revival went live, and I got this unexpectedly fabulous remix of a rather silly and punny Seven & Ace drabble I did for

dw100 many many moons ago. It's delightful and if you enjoy a bit of Seven 'n' Ace, you should definitely go read it.

Also: totally contains a version of Monopoly that should become a proper official thing. XD

Summary: They’ve never been especially good at following the rules, anyway.

I am a lucky so-and-so because I was also one of the few people to get a Remix Madness fic as well, remixing an obscure little humorous ficlet I wrote one Obscure & British Fest for The Sandbaggers into this lovely, thoughtful character piece:

Summary: Matthew Peele knows what people think of him. And, yes, he cares. But maybe not all that much.

I'm still waiting to see what my recip thinks of mine, though...

(I didn't sign up for the Little Black Dress thing in the end, as I felt ill the last few days instead, so that was that. Maybe next time! Anyway, on the cheering front, guess what? Yuletide letters post!! I just need to tweak mine a tiny bit more... \o/)

First Whumptober fic, for Day 1 "Waking Up Restrained." Also for

jjpor in the 500 Prompts meme and for

100fandoms prompt #27 (fear).

Various icons made for

iconcolors (for the last 2 palettes) and

iconthat (for the Bingo challenge), including Doctor Who, Dracula (TV 2006), Sapphire & Steel, Spooks, Once Upon a Time & Poldark (1975). (Minus one posted to

iconthat which is also part of my ongoing plan to icon Doctor Who using the lyrics of What About Everything.)

( I like to think there's not an institution in the country that's safe from me )

Too late for the April Challenge, but I finished my Dracula (TV 1968)/Doctor Who crossover. Luckily, I had the square "loss of powers" on my regular

hc_bingo card, so used it for that, as well as for

100fandoms and

who_allsorts.

I did actually manage to complete one entry for the AU Meme before I got ill and have finally got around to posting it to AO3. Now hopefully I can also do the rest.

Summary: 10 AU scenarios for Seven & Ace for a meme.

I've been scribbling some more little 500 prompts pieces in my notebook lately, so here's one I managed to type up for

fic_rush:

Title: Run Forever
Author:

thisbluespirit
Rating: PG
Word Count: 678
Characters/Pairings: Ace/Cheetah Planet, Seventh Doctor
Notes/Warnings: Spoilers for Survival.
Summary: “The planet’s gone, but it will live on inside you. It always will.”

For

jjpor in the 500 Prompts Meme: 281 – Call of the wild – Ace/Cheetah Planet. Also for

genprompt_bingo square "Primal instincts."

Also here @ AO3 | ( Run Forever )

You will be so proud of me - I wrote all the prompts! (I mean, one per person, not actually all of them.) I haven't managed that in ages, save for those AU memes.

Anyway, the last four are on AO3, with relevant details under the cut:

( Randomised Ficlets. And cake )

I've taken part in the last two challenges for

iconthat - you make three icons for the comm, but I had trouble narrowing it down, so here are my challenge entries, plus a few extra for each.

Teaser:

I was feeling a bit down and so thought of doing this as maybe an occasional thing: here are five nice things I've bookmarked recently:

Third Time Pays For All by JohnAmendAll (G, 922 words, Lucy Weston/Mina Harker/John Seward.) Lucy had been vaguely expecting a confession of a clandestine love affair between her fiancé and her best friend. The truth was far stranger.

Written for me in a recent meme, this is a lovely Dracula TV 1968 fic from the prompt Lucy/Mina/John & timeloops.

Appropriately enough, two very excellent DW fics from the

who_at_50 53rd Anniversary Fanworkathon:

The Scientific Method by nonelvis (Teen, 1723 words. Implied Liz/Brig; Liz/Kate Stewart) Five moments in the life of Elizabeth Shaw. Liz, being awesome as ever.

An Offer You Can't Refuse by Shivver (All ages, 4959 words.) Trying to recover an ailing population's stolen medical supplies, the Doctor and Ace come up empty when the smuggler's trail goes cold. Great missing adventure for Seven & Ace (never an offer I can refuse, that's for certain).

Dance Apocalyptic by thingswithwings and eruthros I really really wanna thank you for dancing to the end. Amazing multi-fandom vid about when the world is ending.

I get so used to finding no fic I like when I poke into modern fandoms (just endless fluff and AUs and ships), that I was actually shocked when I looked into Ripper Street on AO3 and found actual multiple good fics. (I suppose it is a fandom where one of the main attractions is its use of language...)

Inspector Reid's Catalogue of Criminals by shyday (G, 6616 words. Edmund Reid, Homer Jackson, Fred Abberline.) An archive fic. Great capturing of the voices - Reid, his obsessions and dreams and his archive project. (set shortly before 3.01).

Time for the answers! \o/ (Between this and more family history, I must await more spoons before catching up & commenting again, but I will. In the meantime, wacky crossover nonsense awaits...)

I was feeling a bit bored and played with the Ersatz Genremixer, with the challenge to have to write flash fic for at least one prompt out of each 10 it gave me. The results are under the cut. (Some splinter!Claras were sacrificed in the process.)

( Twelfth Doctor / Servalan - alien invasion & in vino veritas/drunkfic )

( Vila Restal / Silver - estrangement & major illness )

( Sarah Jane Smith / Clara Oswald - drabble & reunions )

( Ace McShane / Clara Oswald - cuddling & hiding an injury )

Enough of the moaning; I pulled myself together enough to make some icons over the last few days. The themes come from the icons200* thing I was doing ages ago. (I went to find it and realised I'd stopped because obviously this set had to be Seven & Ace and I needed more screencaps. And, lo, I was unwell enough not to grudge time spent screencapping last week.)

Teaser:

( Icons under here )

Now, what on earth to icon next...?

*I wanted a reason to icon (I fall so easily into thinking it just pointless & it's not) and picked the theme list from the now-defunct icons200 comm and was doing each installment of 10 themes + 10 artists' choice (like a 20by20), with option to swap out prompts if I didn't like them. I might continue again now sometimes.

I actually managed to write some things for

fandom_stocking myself! I didn't get to as many people as I wanted, but that's always the way. I also managed a handful of icons and one or two other small bits, but here's the fic:

( 6 fics in Doctor Who, Adam Adamant Lives!, Blake's 7, & Georgette Heyer )

I also started a joint S&S fic for

kaffy_r and

annariel, but it got too long to be attempted for Fandom Stocking, so I'm going to work on it - it's at 2000 words now and has a better plot outline than it did when I posted it, so I'm hopeful, but it may take me a while yet.

Title: All the Hounds of Hell
Author:

lost_spook
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 2736
Characters/Pairings: Henry VII, Ace McShane, Seventh Doctor, Jasper Tudor
Notes/Warnings: Written for

hc_bingo square “culture shock” and from a random characters meme that suggested Henry VII and Ace on a date - not that this could count as a date, except possibly by certain Ace-specific definitions. (I default to The Shadow of the Tower versions, because I do, but that’s otherwise irrelevant, really.) Set sometime in Brittany in the early 1470s.
Summary: Henry Tudor is used to people wanting him dead, but they don’t usually send the hounds of hell after him to accomplish it. Luckily, there’s a very odd girl looking out for him…

Also at AO3 and the Teaspoon (when it's verified).

Here's a slight ficlet for the 500 Prompts meme I found lurking on my hard drive...

Title: Like A House on Fire
Author:

Rating: PG
Word Count: 666
Characters/Pairings: Ace, Dayna Mellanby
Notes/Warnings: Possibly spoilery for B7 episode “Aftermath”. Mentions of violence/explosives/canon death.
Summary: Ace and Dayna swap tall tales round the fire. They’ve got a lot in common.

Another fic I found lurking in a notebook - I wrote this one for a prompt about two years ago, but could never manage to type it up, I don't know why.

Title: Little Things
Author:

lost_spook
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 980
Characters/Pairings: Ace, Seventh Doctor, Matilda
Notes/Warnings: None. DW/Matilda crossover.
Summary: Sometimes it’s the little things that count.

Written for a prompt left by

seiya234 on

dw_straybunnies: "In all three versions of Matilda-book, movie, musical – at the end, Matilda's parents have to leave in a hurry, and Matilda ends the book leaving with Miss Honey. My thought was, what if instead of dodgy business dealings/the mob/whatever that caused them to leave, the Doctor had a hand in that instead. Double points if there's a scene with him and Matilda. Triple extra points if it's the Seventh Doctor, who I had in mind."

Title: Nobody’s Property
Author:

Title: Eavesdropping

Three more finally typed up from my birthday crossover meme. Sorry about the delay (especially given how long I've had a couple of these sitting in a notebook):

1. Cut and Dried: Inspector Japp and the Seventh Doctor (Poirot/DW) requested by

jjpor
All ages
1,500 words.
(This was meant to be Seven and Ace, as requested, but Bernice wanted to come, too. Sorry about that.)

( The case was proving a bit tricky to say the least )

2. Bargaining: Spike and Dana Scully (BtVS/X-Files) requested by

daibhid_c
PG (for Spike being Spike, generally)
1,331 words

( So, what sort of bird likes cutting up dead people for fun? )

3. Observation: Luna Lovegood and Miss Marple (Harry Potter/Agatha Christie) requested by

lizzie_marie_23
All ages
355 words

( Watching the Roses )

I keep saying that Seven is my favourite Doctor etc etc etc. But what do I ever do to prove it?

Well, I have made some icons (much too quickly, cos I wanted to be the first person to cap and icon Silver Nemesis, which was my first full Doctor Who serial, the first Target novelisation I bought, and the first video I bought. (Sadly BBC were a bit slow in releasing it, so it's not my first DVD by any means). And you know what else? The sleeve insert in the DVD, instead of being apologetic about it, as it sometimes is about these stories deemed to be 'lesser', goes and sums up what I found in it, and loved to pieces:

At the heart of this story is the programme's sense of fun. The Doctor sets about thwarting his enemies with a spring in his step, using jazz music to defeat ruthless logic and all the time whistling as he works. There really is no other hero quite like him...

It doesn't mention that Ace and the Doctor have a lovely day out, listen to jazz, watch Nazis fight scary Cybermen and then blow up things, but that also happens. (I know this is not ever going to win best story, but I still think it was a great thing to stumble onto when you were 11 or so. So I ran out with my Tescos vouchers yesterday, and this is the result. I also had to put up with some Fourth Doctor nonsense that came attached, but I daresay I can stand it... :lol:)

Anyway, I said there were icons... (I will do some more some time, less hastily, but Seven and Ace are too awesome to come out very badly, even with me making the things.)

Teasers:

Total Icon Count: 40
