fic: nothing gold  
Title: Nothing Gold
Rating: G
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Rose and Mickey, with mentions of Sarah Jane and Reinette
Spoilers?: Not for anything beyond "The Girl in the Fireplace"
Prompt: "Autumn" at the [info]time_and_chips "Seasons Change" ficathon.
Summary: She can spend the rest of her life with him, but he can't spend the rest of his with her. (Set during Season 2, shortly after "The Girl in the Fireplace".)
Excerpt: Poetically speaking it was a sick but accurate allegory, and the letter that lay tucked into his breast pocket seemed impossibly heavy. Minutes for him, decades for her. Dead and gone in the blink of an eye.
Author's Notes: The poem alluded to in the title and in the fic is Robert Frost's Nothing Gold Can Stay.

They chose the planet of Maenestrehla for three reasons. )

fic: such sweet sorrow -- doctor who  
Title: Such Sweet Sorrow
Rating: PG
Genre: A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. (Angst and gen and romance and hopefully a dash of comedy.)
Spoilers: Set during Journey's End, so that'd be a yes.
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Rose/Ten2, Donna, with hints of Jack, Martha, Jackie, Sarah Jane and Mickey
Summary: The universes are safe and the TARDIS is full of people he loves drinking wine and swapping stories, so naturally the Doctor is... watching from the sidelines. Set during Journey's End.
Exceprt: Rose stands up straight and moves perpendicular to him, threading her arm through his. He thinks probably she’d take his hand, if he took it out of his pocket.

He doesn’t.

Author's Notes: This is definitely a companon piece to Say Goodnight and Goodbye, which is set just before this piece, but it's certainly not neccessary that you read one to understand the other. I don't get why I find blue!Doctor to be much easier to write than regular!Doctor, but apparently that's the case; Donna, however, came easier this time around. Hurrah!

fic: of costumes, superheroes and personal space  
Title: Of Costumes, Superheroes and Personal Space
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Ten2/Rose
Genre: Humour, fluff, a few hints of shippiness and decidedly angst-free.
Spoilers?: Through 4x13
Summary: The Doctor has found a kindred spirit (and a Halloween costume); Rose is inclined to disagree.
Excerpt: He wiggled his eyebrows in his aren’t I a genius? way that was typically reserved for things like growing a new TARDIS, building a new sonic screwdriver or figuring out the most efficient way to peel bananas.

fic: say goodnight and goodbye -- doctor who  
Title: Say Goodnight and Goodbye
Rating: PG
Spoilers?: Through 4x13.
Characters/Pairings: Donna, Ten2(/Rose/Ten)
Summary: (Set during Journey's End.) The Doctor-Donna has just saved the whole of creation -- that calls for drinks, and she is not going to allow a part-human part-Time Lord to ruin the moment by brooding.
Excerpt:For the first time, she wonders how you deal with a love triangle when two of the parties are the same person in every way that counts. Not for the first time, she wonders what the Doctor did to the universe to make it so hell-bent on tormenting him.

Author's Notes: Because there was not nearly enough of blue!Doctor and doctor!Donna kicking ass in Journey's End, and because I wrote a fic where Rose and this Doctor discuss the fate of Donna, and it only seemed fair that Donna and this Doctor discuss the fate of Rose. Illogically, Donna Noble proved to be the most difficult to write of every character I've written so far from this canon, and that includes everyone's favourite emotionally-stunted alien. Go figure. I think I managed to "get" her by the time I finished this, but we'll see, I guess.

Title: we could be something
Rating: PG, whoo
Characters/Pairings/Fandoms: Jim/Pam (The Office), Remus/Sirius (Harry Potter), Nine/Rose (Doctor Who)
Author's Notes: So this was my good-bye gift for the lovely [info]inksplotched who is now off to Brazil for a year. BON VOYAGE SARA. They're her ships in our shared fandoms and the title comes from a Kate Nash song because she likes Kate Nash. This was also posted in [info]missinginks but I'm posting it here because... I.. am a narcissist, idk.

There are a thousand things wrong with this picture and really he shouldn’t be thinking this way. )

Title: Suggestive Selling
Rating: PG
Characters & pairings: Ten2/Rose
Spoilers?: Yep, 4x13.
Summary: The Doctor makes a suggestion, Rose wears the metaphorical pants, and the Torchwood cafeteria sells questionable bananas.
Author's notes: Okay, so this is essentially fluff. I kind of wanted to reassure myself I was still capable of writing dialogue and keeping things light-hearted.

Title: to keep on breathing for
Rating: PG, I am so boring
Spoilers: Journey's End
Characters & Pairings: Rose/Ten, Donna, Martha, Sarah Jane
Summary: Popping into existence only to be stranded in a parallel world on an alien planet is, well, odd.
Excerpt: For a long while he feels just slightly out of synch, like there’s a beat missing from the time signature or like there’s a scratch in the CD that still makes you jump, even after you’ve heard it a hundred times.

Title: Made of the Same Stuff
Rating: Oh, just G
Length: 753
Spoilers?: Yes! Gigantic, spoilery spoilers for Journey's End.
Characters & Pairings: Jackie, Tony, Rose/Ten2
Summary: Four days after Norway, Jackie Tyler talks to her daughter.
Excerpt: “It was the same with your father, you know,” Jackie says four days after Norway, because in all the confusion of worlds being saved and the Tyler women bringing home a different man, four days later is the first chance she gets.

Also, here's some shameless whoring for [info]needs_saying if you actually happen to be one of the few who didn't absolutely loathe the Ten/Rose conclusion in Journey's End.

Author's Notes: So this is the second time I've ever written for this fandom, and the first time was about 100 words. So I still feel very awkward about it and very unfamiliar with... everything. Which, um, makes me nervous, and such, but I fear it might become more of a habit. So do let me know how it is!



or you could just skip straight to the fic if you want instant gratification. )

fic: the ghosts that broke my heart before i met you, multi-fandom  
Title: the ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
Rating: PG
Characters, pairings & fandoms: Jacob/Bella, Edward/Bella (Twilight), Remus/Tonks, Sirius (Harry Potter), Jim/Karen, Jim/Pam (The Office), Martha/Doctor, Doctor/Rose (Doctor Who)
Length 480. I am lame.
Notes of which there are many: Okay first off, this is the first thing I've written that wasn't the result of a meme in way too long. Secondly, this is my first time trying my hand at The Office or Doctor Who, and only my second time with Twilight, and I feel weirdly self-conscious and insecure in a way I never do with writing. Ha ha. Also, I'm going to go ahead and say this is mostly for [info]anythingbutgrey because a) I'm pretty sure she wrote a multi-fandom fic a while ago and that's what sort of gave me the idea to try this, b) crazy anons keep harassing her, c) she always names her fics after song lyrics or something and I feel like I'm stealing it from her and d) I never actually wrote her anything for her birthday like I said I would, so here. OOPS MONTHS LATE, SORRY.

Title comes from 'Ghosts' by Laura Marling, which I uploaded and suggest you listen to because a) it's pretty and b) it was what gave me the idea.

one-shot: not so vile a sin  
WHOOO I need to go to bed but first, I finished my [info]redandthewolf fic challenge! With 20 minutes before the deadline! Hahah I win.

Title: Not So Vile A Sin
Author: [info]_thirty2flavors
Summary: Midway through seventh year, Lily has come to accept many things about James Potter. The one thing she cannot seem to accept is his arrogance.
Excerpt: On the whole, she had come to realize, he was not so bad, and they were even – strange as it was to say – something like friends.

He was, however, and as she had always expected, undeniably, irrevocably, pathetically, hopelessly in love – with himself.

Rating: PG
Warnings: Um...? I've got nothin'.
Word Count: 1557
Author's Note: I actually had 98% of this written since about the first week of the challenge. I had plans for a second scene and then it just was not cooperating and then I realized, hey, I can cut the second scene all together and finish it on time! ... Kind of! With 20 minutes to spare, EST! Also, yay for extensions. =)
Prompts: For [info]redandthewolf's Tales of Slings, Arrows and Outrageous Fortune: spine, and
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin

fic: the sun will come out - lily/james  
If you have more than one Roomie on your flist, you've probably seen Hourglass Awards pimping seventy times, so I've cut it. Yay! )

In other news, I come bearing fic. Finally! I accomplished very little this weekend other than COMPLETELY screwing myself over academically by, you know, spending time on fic instead of school but I did manage to add like, 100 words to a fic I'd forgotten about and finish it! I can feel your excitement now!

Title: The Sun Will Come Out
(Also at livejournal if you prefer.)
Word Count: 313
Characters/Pairings: Lily/James, Sirius, Remus, Peter
Rating: G
Summary: Some days, Lily thinks there's no way they won't win.

And in other-other news, we have an assload of snow. We got 50 cms (1'8") this weekend. Fail. )

ETA: I hate snow so much I decided to change my layout. [info]_thirty2flavors I am sort of enjoying this one, except a few things bother me (like having links on the side, and the really cluttered comment line). If anyone knows places to get pretty layouts for free/plus accounts, hook me up? Most of the pre-made lj ones are comically hideous.

(another) new collaboration! - a standing inferiority complex  
You guys are probably like "wtf Kali stfu with these letter projects" but um sry [info]letter_project is amazing because Dorea/Charlus is amazing and so is [info]latine, and I have to pimp this one because [info]piratesmile_x is doing all of the actual work, you know, hosting it and such.


Title: A Standing Inferiority Complex
Authors: [info]_thirty2flavors (Victoire) and [info]piratesmile_x (Teddy)
Characters/Pairings: Victoire/Teddy, plus mention of .... everyone, ever.
Rating: Eh, PG-13 so far.
Summary: In which Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley maneuver their way through N.E.W.T.s, ill-advised memory charms, anecdotes, and some truly atrocious French.
Excerpt: I half-expected to get to Hogwarts and have life suddenly turn into some dramatic affair full of dragons and chase scenes and heroic rescues. Maman didn't even go to Hogwarts and she was still a Triwizard Champion. It's not right. The Weasley-Potter clan is one full of inferiority complexes.

In other news, I've already written about 2 and a half pages of my [info]redandthewolf Slings and Arrows challenge. Just need to finish. It is kind of just pointless fluff but... ...oh well. I have to ease myself back into the pairing, I guess, lirl.

I've also got this half-compiled fan-mix sitting here that I guess I might as well finish compiling. By that I mean all the files are on my old dinosaur of a computer and unless I want to sift through my iPod to get them off, I'll have to turn on that thing. It is Lily/James because they are hotties :| Also, this is the first fan-mix I've ever considered doing, and it is a weird experience. I feel like every day I get progressively dorkier.

I do need to work more on Silly Love Songs. Why is it that I can only write when there are looming deadlines? As soon as I finish my work and I think "oh, now I can work on ___", I suddenly lose all desire to work on ___.

Also, hey to all the kids I've added through that giant friending meme! Lol, friend memes are always so pathetic because no one ever replies to be my friend, I have to force them all into it. BAHAHAH.

Shit son, check out the tags on this entry. lirl

ETA -- LIRL! I noticed this a long time ago and for some reason it just occured to me to mention it here. A while ago I was searching Facebook for the UR group that I am too ashamed to join, lest kids from school realize what a loser I truly am and I found the group Comprehensive List of The Best Harry Potter Fanfiction, which apparently includes some stuff by me, First Draft by [info]koonelli and A Keen Observer by [info]callmepatsy.

fic exchange one-shot: 13 steps to the end of the world  
So the UR.org Christmas Fic Exchange posted its reveals, which means I have the liberty to shamelessly pimp what I wrote... lirl.

Title: Thirteen Steps to the End of the World
Rating: PG-13
Characters & Ships: James/Lily, Sirius, Remus, Peter
Prompt: "The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire." (for Satirise at UR.org).
Summary: Thirteen steps to the end of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot & Prongs.
Excerpt: “Oh, just the way the lot of you – you’re very – I don’t know – exclusive. You’re all four in your own little world and while most of the time I’m convinced it’s a world of utter chaos and madness and stupidity, at times it seems like a much better alternative to a world of war and doom and gloom.”

Huzzah! And kudos to [info]christycorr for actually putting this gigantic migraine together.

ETA - This is old news in the Twilight fandom, but this macro will always be hilarious. )

new "collection": Hollow  
What should I be writing? Probably one of the fic exchange/challenge things I'm signed up for, or Silly Love Songs (which should've been updated like eons ago), or A Thoroughly Unremarkable Day (which I intended to update like eons ago) or, even better, one of the two major essays that I really, really need to start and have not, yet.

What am I writing? None of the above, naturally!

Title: Hollow
Rating: G right now. Or maybe PG for rampant angst. Guess it depends on how much of a pansy you are. Also I am like 99% sure no one gives a shit about ratings unless it's the difference between a PG-13 and an R/NC-17. Has anyone actually ever been like "OH IT IS PG-13 AND I AM TWELVE, I BETTER NOT READ IT"? Come on.
Characters: Various; any pairings will be canon, but I don't expect this will veer into the land of shipping too often.
Summary: Follow various characters on their pilgrimage to Godric's Hollow.
Excerpt: Thinking of them no longer causes an ache so deep he fears he might collapse into himself, and he finds himself worrying that the admirers that cropped up after the fall of Voldemort have faded into obscurity, leaving the Potters' grave forgotten and ignored.

Hollow - March 27, 1985

new one-shot: seven looks at luck, life & love (with teddy lupin)  
So in the midst of writing something about his parents, I decided to take a break to write something about him.

Title: Seven Looks at Luck, Life & Love
Rating: PG
Characters: Teddy, Harry, Victoire, assorted others
Excerpt: Everyone says his parents were heroes, like heroics can read you bedtime stories or see you off to Hogwarts or send you Howlers for getting detentions.
