Beyond the Roundels

So, I picked the meme up from romanajo123, who gave me a selection of prompts. I wrote these two up as ficlets:

( Clara Oswald / Kathryn Janeway / Vila Restal - game night, 383 words. )


( Jyn Erso / Dayna Mellanby / Jenna Stannis - don't try this at home, 379 words. )

remixrevival has now revealed the authors for the main collection, so I can now own up that this was my effort, though I doubt it'll come as too much of shock to anyone who read it and knows me!

Autumn Mourning (The Falling Leaves and Elephants Remix) (4329 words) by lost_spook
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Blake's 7, Doctor Who (2005)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Orac & The Doctor's TARDIS, Kerr Avon/Orac, The Doctor/The Doctor's TARDIS
Characters: Orac (Blake's 7), The Doctor's TARDIS, Kerr Avon, Vila Restal, Dayna Mellanby, Soolin (Blake's 7), Del Tarrant
Additional Tags: Remix, Artificial Intelligence, Computers, Canonical Character Death, Post-Canon, Post-Gauda Prime, Jokes
Summary: Orac has data to share with the TARDIS. The TARDIS reads more than Orac knows or wishes – about its humans, its sad state, and its non-existent electric heart.

From Grieved It on its Way by still_lycoris. My remix is thoroughly spoilery for Blake's 7 in multiple ways (should anyone Doctor Who side be interested).

The first fic I read when looking for what to remix was this one, and it was so obviously the one I was going to have to remix, I was almost affronted. Anyway, the original is a lovely/sad post-canon crossover about Orac and the TARDIS, with Orac sending files to the TARDIS, so I could switch it to the TARDIS's end and explore the files she receives. Plus, there's an old joke about elephants and trees.


With thanks to aralias who beta-ed the original, and who asked the important question: where was Gan? (Whoops. Sorry, Gan!)

The first two results of the conversational crossover meme. (And years may have passed since the last time I did it, but I still fail on the 'no explanations' part, but I refuse to be sorry for that!)


For swordznsorcery: Evy Carnahan meeting Dayna Mellanby. (Blake's 7/The Mummy):

( Entombed )

And for liadtbunny: Georgina Jones meeting Vila. (Adam Adamant Lives!/Blake's 7).


( Wrong Number )

Two marvellous fics I've been lucky to have written for me of late! I don't think I posted the Sixathon one here before, did I? (And sixathon has produced some lovely fics, you should go check it out, if you haven't already.)

So, my gift in the 2013 Sixathon:

Entanglements (4365 words) by ponygirl
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Doctor Who, Doctor Who (1963), Doctor Who (2005), Doctor Who (Big Finish Audio), Doctor Who & Related Fandoms
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: The Doctor/River Song
Characters: Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe, River Song
Additional Tags: Timey-Wimey, They keep meeting in the wrong order, The TARDIS is a sneaky so-and-so
Summary:

The Doctor has made it very clear to Evelyn that he is not interested in romantic entanglements. It's one of the things they agree on, actually.

(And, yes, it is as good as that all sounds and Ponygirl gave me my Evelyn & Six prompt, and then threw in a bonus Eleven-era character from one of my others. \o/)

And something that aralias wrote for me, for... well, I think because I sort of grumble-rambled the other day. Clearly, I should do that more often, because wonderfully cracky B7 fic ensued:

D(ams)el in Distress: Five Times Dayna and the Scorpio Crew Saved Tarrant (3239 words) by aralias
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Blake's 7
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Dayna Mellanby&Del Tarrant
Characters: Dayna Mellanby, Del Tarrant, Kerr Avon, Vila Restal, Soolin (Blake's 7)
Additional Tags: Damsel in Distress, Fake/Pretend Relationship
Summary:

For a young, handsome Space Captain, Del Tarrant certainly needs a lot of rescuing. Fortunately, Dayna Mellanby is not your average damsel.

Title: Keeping Secrets
Author: lost_spook
Rating: PG
Word Count: 553
Characters/Pairings: Del Tarrant/Dayna Mellanby
Notes/Warnings: None.
Summary: It’s hard work, having a secret relationship. (Early S4, no spoilers.)

Continuing with rescuing things from my notebook: this was an attempt at writing Tarrant/Dayna for paranoidangel42 in shipswap last year.

( Keeping Secrets )

... so a sort of meme?

I've seen people messing with the drabble-matic thing (except it doesn't actually do drabbles - minus points for misuse of the term!). It asked for so much info, I didn't bother, but then thought if I put Five and Tegan in and just used words that went with them (beige, purple, cricket ball etc). It, um, well... It makes no sense whatsoever, but is bizarrely not unDW-like because it does include an attempt by one of the two to rule the world.

( Disturbing Five/Tegan generated ficlet )

And I can't offer any explanation for what it gave me when i tried with Tarrant and Dayna. I mean, I know there's a lot of B7 slash, but it was a randomly generated ficlet. (I think it must be based on a certain type of fanfic cliche. Darn. Even when I put random words in a random generator, B7 won't do romance.)

( More disturbing Tarrant/Dayna ficlet )

Okay, and then I did Blake and Jenna, and it came so near pr0n that I think I should stop now. But this generator definitely knows how B7 works as compared to DW. I am beginning to wonder if Orac is about on the nets...

( Even more disturbing Blake/Jenna ficlet )

One of those things that definitely wasn't what I was supposed to be doing with my afternoon off. But emerald_happy's suggestion of a Ros-Avon snark fest began to take shape in my head. Two disclaimers: 1. I apologise that there isn't anything like enough snark. 2. There really ought to be a very dark version of this somewhere. (I'll think about it).

Story: A Comedy of Errors
Author: lost_spook
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3,130
Characters/Pairings: Ros Myers, Kerr Avon, Ruth Evershed, Vila Restal, Zafar Younis, Harry Pearce, Malcolm Wynn-Jones, Dayna Mellanby, Del Tarrant, Adam Carter, Jo Portman.
Warnings: No real spoilers for either show. (Set just before 5.5 for Spooks, somewhere in S3 for B7.)

Summary: In which Section D apprehend a group of apparent terrorists in the act, only to find there’s something strange about them. This could all be smoothed over if Ros hadn’t entered a battle of wills with their leader. (A Very Silly Spooks/B7 crossover, with Avon and Ros snark, and everyone else having a nice day out in London. Ruth’s continuing acceptance of all things strange and alien, is still me running on from my fic Anarchist Sprites, but it always seems in character somehow.) Most of this, as I said, is entirely emerald_happy's fault.
