Yes, it is me.  XD

After one of THE most eventful years of my life, I'm finally back to fanfic and antsy to write more.  What I'd like - if anyone's still around to answer, that is - is a vote! 

YES.  A vote.

I have the impetus to write on any one of my current fics, so as a special HEY I'M NOT TOTALLY DEAD YET surprise, I'm going to let you guys decide which one I should work on finishing first!

In case you've forgotten which ones are what - which is fair, since I had to look at this, myself - here's a quick list.

Nothing Gold Can Stay:  The story of Ten's adventures with a very odd companion.  Not much background, but will explain Into the Dark some and fill in a key piece for later.

Bad Wolf Rising: My story following this particular chink in Rose's timeline.  Probably another...oh... five?  Maybe ten chapters to go before ending that story and moving on to the next one in her timeline.  Will explain parts of Echoes of Sunlight and also a part of a piece of Between Man and God.

Between Man and God:  The story following Ten's poin of view set between Journey's End and Nothing Gold can stay.  Not really sure where I'll conclude with this one, yet.  Might go a little further in the combined timeline than with Bad Wolf Rising, but I'm not yet sure.  Will explain the rest of the parts of the piece of mystery from earlier in the fic and will lead into NGCS.

SO!

Looking forward to responses - if any - from all of you guys.

I've missed you!

Title: Echoes of Sunshine
Beta(s): TheCookieMomma
Word Count: 5240
Song Title/Artist: Now Comes the Night by Rob Thomas
Characters/Pairing: Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose, 10.5/Rose
Rating: M (to be safe)
Giftee: ladychi
Summary: With the full and heavy knowledge that she wouldn't see this place again with these eyes, the Timend Goddess squeezed her eyes shut and vanished. She didn’t hear the strains of mournful music that followed her departure down the TARDIS corridors, but she knew them well.
A/N: Written for songs_in_time Valentine's Day Exchange. This does take place in my AT Paradigm storyverse and ties in with my current series.  For those of you following my storyverse, this will no doubt confuse you more, but answers are coming, I promise! Songfic is an art I'm not sure I've mastered yet, but I hope this is what you were looking for, ladychi !




( Except for when it was...Collapse )

Title: Nothing Gold Can Stay
Characters: Ten, Original Companion
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Mentions of genocide and character death
Spoilers: Through JE and then spoilers for other stories of mine, but nothing major there.
Word Count: 7924
Summary: So Eden sank to grief... The TARDIS has always had a mind of her own and the Doctor is getting really tired of crossing his own timeline. So why would the time-ship keep such record of a woman who doesn't belong; and perhaps more importantly, why would the Doctor want her to?
A/N: I know you're all probably ready to murder me for putting this up rather than the next chapter of BMaG, but it wouldn't leave me alone and so here it is, the next ready chapter of NGCS; Her Hardest Hue to Hold
Disclaimer:  I don't own anything except for the new companion and I'm not even sure yet if I'll keep her or exchange her for a better fit. All of this is un-beta'd, mostly because I didn't think any sane person could slog through this. So! Any mistakes are mine and if anything is really unclear, just let me know.  :)

Title: Between Man and God
Characters: Ten, later Ten/Rose
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Angst (I love how this will surprise no one) and Fluff *watches people die of shock* and existentialism of potted plants.
Spoilers: Through JE and then spoilers for other stories of mine, but nothing major there.
Word Count: 1612
Summary: Because that's what she does, my Rose. She lives everything so fully that the rest of us can't help ourselves. As we move into the Vortex--and by 'we' I mean the TARDIS and I--a thought strikes me and I start to laugh, even as tears leak out of my eyes. Even when she's universes away, on the other side of that damned white wall, she's still saving me.
A/N: Yes, I do realize this is about a third shorter than the previous ones, but seriously? I felt this needed a bit of some hardcore fluff, but I have a hard time writing fluff, so this is what came out. I hope it helps to lift the downward spirits of those burdened by my penchant for angst.




( She is absolutely, without a doubt, one-hundred percent off her nut.Collapse )

We got one once that said:

"You are doomed to repeat your mistakes."

I thought, 'Well that's certainly pants for a fortune.' and I tried another.  It read:

"You are doomed to repeat your mistakes."

I went through nine fortune cookies before I realized they all said that.

Even when she's universes away, on the other side of that damned white wall, she's still saving me.
A/N: As I promised, the ending of this particular bout of angst!  Now comes confusion!  I have a choice to make here.  I can either pause here and start posting the companion to this story--so that you aren't <i>completely</i> lost as to some things--or I can finish this up, then post the companion one.  Thoughts?

A/N: Yay for more stream-of-consciousness!  Yay more angst!  This particular low in the storyline comes to a head here and then things begin to look up.  Enjoy!

A/N: Yay for part two!  This chapter (and the one following it) are much darker than the first one and a bit disjointed, since I'm using stream of consciousness from an insane person's point-of-view.  There is a light on the horizon though!  I promise that chapter 4 gets better!  (And by better I mean less angsty)

A/N: Well, here is the first part of another piece of my AT Paradigms series.  I have 4 chapters of this done and one more being written, plus what's already done of BWR to post, so there'll be things for you all to read while I finish up the new bits.  :)





( This has to be the worst day of my life, standing on this beach. Not for the first time, but the second.Collapse )

Shamelessly stolen from amberfocus because I am horrendously bored and trying to beat my brain into submission.  And by submission I mean sleep, so!  Here are the rules, boys and girls! 

I list off 13 vague-ish references to my OTP's from various fandoms and then you--my dearest darlingest f-list--get to stab at guessing which ones mean what pair from which series.  Fun, ne?  No?  Probably right. 

Oh well, like I said; I'm bored.


1.  He seems to be a bit hormonal and she can see around corners.
2.  She has a bit of a mirror fetish and he brings new meaning to the term 'tree house'.
3.  He is old and broken and she can talk to squirrels.
4.  Only he could induce in her this strange love of compact power tools; only she could teach him to love pink and yellow as a color palette.
5.  One prefers leather and the other, tweed.  Still, there's a lot to be said for the power of puppy love.
6.  He loves her because she'll never back down; then again, it's hard to disagree with the airlock method.
7.  He fights, she heals.  Add in the pilot-child and they make quite the space-age family.
8.  He is Death dressed in red and he wants her; his redemption.
9.  Roman and Russian, old and new; a love consummated in blood.
10. She can't get into her own head and he can't get out of his; prescription for trouble!
11. He won't leave and she can't let him stay.
12. Despite their love, they were duty bound; he to the land and she to the skies.
13. A Shardae in the serpent's lair; they had to overcome instinct before hate became love.



Also, because it thrilled me...
