Beyond the Roundels

[Just like Blue Peter, appropriately - a post I made earlier!]

I decided to put together a rec set for hc_bingo square "Shipwrecked" - and here it is! \o/ There are a mix of fandoms with a mix of sailing ship wrecks and space ship wrecks and all contain at least some measure of hurt/comfort.

Warnings/content notes in the recs are minimal, but all links go to AO3 where they are fully tagged and rated - please note all original author's tags, warnings and ratings etc. at the link.

( 10 recs in Doctor Who, Goblin Emperor, Good Omens, Legends of Tomorrow, Sapphire & Steel, Sid Halley, ST: Voyager, Star Wars & Twelfth Night )

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. )

So, as I said, fandom_stocking went live and I had a lot of lovely things in mine!

I had some gifs, recs, puzzles, and best wishes, but also fab Brig/Liz fanart from paynesgray, and a glorious Bayeux Tapestry style illustration for We'll Burn That Barn When We Come To It by liadt. (If you enjoyed the fic, you really want to see the art!!)

Plus, lovely Jonathan Creek icons from tarlanx.


And in terms of fic, I was underservedly lucky - just look at all these, and they were all great in very different ways! *flails about*

more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, PG by rain_sleet_snow (The Quiet Gentleman/The Grand Sophy, five times fic, with Drusilla, Sophy and supernatural goings on.)

The rest were all on AO3 so I will share the links for your convenience. I recommend them all very much indeed! I am still all overcome.

I haven't even had a chance to look at other fic in the collection!

I saw thedevilchicken's letter for Space Swap and they mentioned that they liked Janeway/Coffee, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and ridiculous crossovers and so this happened, even if it took long enough that the exchange had ended before I was done.

I may have unfortunately defaulted (and that feels weird - even the one other time I defaulted on any exchange, I got a treat into the collection in the end) but I still got a lovely gift fic! And here it is. I asked for Janeway fic, and I got this great little piece, with her getting in an argument with her replicator. <3

Two amazing vids posted over the last couple of days, if people haven't already seen them:

( Cut for embeds )

Title: Star Ship
Author: lost_spook
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 593
Characters/Pairings: Kathryn Janeway/USS Voyager, Tom Paris, Chakotay
Notes/Warnings: None.
Summary: All Captains talk to their ships, of course. It’s just that Janeway feels sure that hers talks back.

For paranoidangel42 in the 500 Prompts Meme - Prompt 411: She’ll be a star now, I will follow her lead – Kathryn Janeway.

It's a bit late, but if you want to count it as such, it can be a birthday ficlet. ♥

( Star Ship )

So there's not much going on, and I couldn't resist retrying the meme using last names. Some couples stayed together despite the odds: Evie Eliott & Eowyn, Frobisher & Gandalf, Maddy & Maid Marian, and Servalan & Seven. The results were mostly much scarier than last time, but it did throw up some things that were amusing - and one or two I want badly now:

( More mayhem and scary pairings )

DWM have started having a YouTube recs column. I'd seen most of them before, but this one was highly amusing. And, er, instructive:

( What are you doing here? )

Plus, there was an interview with Janet Fielding, which is never a dull thing:
( On Hell freezing over, Big Finish, Tegan, Matthew and why the show should let Peter come back for an episode or two. And writing fan letters to RTD... )

Title: Five Times the Doctor Got in the Way of Captain Janeway (and One Time They Got Along Just Fine)
Author: lost_spook
Word Count: 5444
Rating: All ages
Characters/Pairings: Eleventh Doctor, First Doctor, Vicki, Third Doctor, Jo Grant, Ninth Doctor, Eighth Doctor, Charley Pollard, Kathryn Janeway, Chakotay, Tom Paris, Tuvok
Summary: Captain Janeway doesn't think much of time travellers and higher beings who turn up on board her ship. The Doctor doesn't take much notice of prime directives. It's a tea vs coffee thing.

I wrote this for the dw_straybunnies October Prompt of the Month. I don't know whether it's more ridiculous that I randomly picked my own prompt, that I ended up writing for it, that I was right up against the deadline, or that I didn't even exactly keep to the prompt. (It was just I had a sudden, entertaining vision of if lots of people wrote the prompt and Janeway was repeatedly confronted by versions of the Doctor lecturing her on time travel, and then there was a plot bunny bounding about...)

Anyway, I'm always happy to wind up writing multi-era nonsense. Already on Teaspoon (I was literally fighting the deadline last night - no time for LJ posts... Or watching Downton Abbey, darn the thing. Will be watching that very shortly!)

I'm still catching up and these days go together naturally, both in terms of the questions and that they're both shows I like/liked and have never mentioned here. Mostly because I dislike fannish debates and I suspect both could easily set them off. So be nice, I can't help my bad taste, or whatever it is...

Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving:
Star Trek: Voyager. ( Further waffle here )

Day 11 - A show that disappointed you: Heroes

( Yet more waffle )

I need to work out exactly how far I'm behind with this meme now!
