Beyond the Roundels

I managed to edit the Unconventional Courtship ficlets I wrote for john_amend_all, and here they are!

This one really could have been a whole thing, but now it isn't: 642) An Inconvenient Engagement by Joy Reed
Clara Oswald was furious when she saw her betrothed the Fourth Doctor waltzing with another. So she decides to make him jealous by flirting with the most beautiful woman at the ball, the Mistress, Countess of Stanford. The "wicked" noblewoman knew exactly what the enticing miss was up to — and she was only too happy to play along. But as Clara gazed into her magnificent eyes, her errant fiancé was soon utterly forgotten.

Instead of heading down the aisle toward a man she didn't love, ex-beauty queen Lucie Miller hightailed it out of the church, landing at the feet of brooding loner Graham O'Brien. When Graham begrudgingly helped Lucie flee Kane's Crossing and her powerful groom-not-to-be in his private plane, neither one of them expected passions to ignite. But once they did, both tried to deny it. But maybe Graham could make room for Lucie in his emotionally bereft life, and maybe Lucie would actually walk all the way down the aisle one of these days….

One of my dw100 drabbles got a bit out of hand last weekend. So I ended up with this little bit of nonsense. "My purpose is to amuse, simply to amuse!" With some reflection on moustaches.

As usual, wait for okaying onto Teaspoon.

I shouldn't have waited all this time to find LiveJournal and set up an account.  I've got probably about 50-60 fics between Teaspoon and TTR to go back over...

So, because I've been through quite a lot of them already, I thought I might try and think about a 'top 5'.  (Doing my top 20 of other people's will definitely be fun for another day).  Let's start somewhere...

So:
