vonquixote - he cannot meet his master's eyes
Title: he cannot meet his master's eyes.
Author: vonquixote
Fandom: Doctor Who.
Rating: Bloody Torchwood!
Category: AU.
Sub-Category: even slashier than the last one. At this rate there'll be actual sex in one of these.
Pairing: Fifth Doctor/android!Master.
Chap/1shot: First chapter of... umm... several. Still working that out.
Pages: 5.
Spoilers: Spoils 'Planet of Fire', and passing familiarity with 'Scream of the Shalka' would probably help.
Are You Sensitive About: cybernetic body-horror or mind!sex?
Summary: The Fifth Doctor suffers a crisis of conscience and builds himself an android Master, for reasons which will be very clear to anyone who has seen 'Planet of Fire', upon the heels of which this story comes. Said Doctor is unable to retain any sort of self-control.
Auteur's Note: Started as comment!fic over at [info]best_enemies and was extended at the request of the lovely people there. Beta'd by [info]ashteth, concrit welcome (especially about the bracketed thought-process thing, which is a bit of an experiment), and no, I do not own Doctor Who, that's the BBC's job.

it always seems like a good idea at the time... )

vonquixote: Trivial Pursuits
Title: Trivial Pursuits.
Author: [info]vonquixote
Fandom: Doctor Who.
Rating: Probably bordering on Bloody Torchwood!
Category: AU.
Sub-Category: mmm slash.
Main Characters: REG!Nine/android!Master.
Chap/1shot: One-shot.
Pages: Four.
Spoilers: Precedes 'Scream of the Shalka', probably by quite a bit.
Are You Sensitive About: Swears or Dominance/submission?
Summary: In which the Master and the Doctor are apparently having sex, and yet not.
Auteur's Note: Um. I don't usually write this kind of thing. I'm not sure I could, if I didn't get to indulge myself with triple entrendres and slightly ambiguous D/s-ery. Still, here it is, and [info]ashteth has pronounced it at least quite good, and it compensates for my last thing having about a page of Master in it. Don't say I never give you anything.

This is one of those fics where the first line appeared and the rest just fell into place. )

vonquixote: 'Verteidigungskrieg', Episode Three.
Title: Verteidigungskrieg.
Author: [info]vonquixote
Fandom: Doctor Who.
Rating: Old Who.
Category: AU.
Sub-Category: war story.
Main Characters: REG!Nine, android!Master, Alison Cheney, Colonel von Lossberg (real historical bloke!), numerous author-created Teutons, and (SPOILER: the Rani!).
Chap/1shot: Episode Three of six.
Pages: Eleven. I don't know why either.
Spoilers: Follows 'Scream of the Shalka'; also spoilery for the Battle of Passendale, I suppose. (SPOILS THIS STORY: And if you've not seen 'The Mark of the Rani' then her presence here is a tiny bit spoilery for that, mostly because she mentions who she is.)
Warnings: It's all a bit body-horror. Injuries and deformities are present, as are (SPOILER: zombies!).
Summary: Alison makes a devil's deal with her saviours, while the Doctor tries to stop Von Lossberg doing something potentially rather stupid. The Master plays with his chemistry set. People who aren't supposed to meet do so.
Auteur's Note: SPOILERS. I'm doing my best to warn for things that people do or don't want to see, but this is supposed to be a mystery story and it's becoming more and more awkward not to give things away. If you're more concerned with who's in it or what might upset you, go ahead and highlight.
As ever, big love to [info]ashteth for spotting the rubbish bits.

oo-ee-oo... )

vonquixote - Verteidigungskrieg (2/6) (DW)
Title: Verteidigungskrieg
Fandom: Doctor Who.
Rating: Old Who.
Category: AU.
Sub-Category: war story.
Main Characters: REG!Nine, android!Master, Alison Cheney, Colonel von Lossberg (real historical bloke!) and numerous author-created Teutons.
Chap/1shot: Episode Two of six.
Pages: Seven. REGULARITY IS FOR ONE'S BOWELS.
Spoilers: Follows 'Scream of the Shalka'; also spoilery for the Battle of Passendale, I suppose.
Warnings: there's a bit of hypnosis, but otherwise I think it's harmless.
Summary: Alison and the Doctor's second day in Passendale starts badly and gets worse.
Auteur's Note: Written in fits and starts, and with contrived separations, but hopefully still quite good. [info]ashteth's beta powers have dubbed it not-fail.

I promise the third chapter will not start with a 'phone call. )

vonquixote & ashteth - "The Inevitable Consequences of Dropping the Soap".
Title: The Inevitable Consequences of Dropping the Soap.
Fandom: Withnail & I.
Rating: Noo Who for imminent gheyity.
Category: ending denial (aka Moulin Rouge Syndrome).
Sub-Category: soggy.
Main Characters: Withnail... & I. This journal denies all accusations of hideous man-crushes on Richard E. Grant and accepts any charges of pretty pretty girl!crushes on same.
Chap/1shot: Mercifully one-shot.
Pages: Not many.
Spoilers: Marwood gets called a ponce and Withnail is a useless tart. That's about it. Oh, and most of the film WOULDN'T HAPPEN IF THEY'D ONLY DO THIS.
Warnings: it's a bit non-consensual, maybe, if you squint?
Summary: Marwood is in the bath. Withnail joins him. Marwood monologues himself into a fit of homosexual lust.
Auteurs' Note: We wrote this in bed together, which says something about our relationship... and is it wrong that the voices just sort of happen naturally?

This is the life. Long hot bath. Graceful comedown. Journey's End on the soap tray, genuine possibility of a part, and Withnail off in some vast elsewhere in which I have no interest. )

vonquixote - Verteidigungskrieg (1/6) (DW)
Title: Verteidigungskrieg
Fandom: Doctor Who.
Rating: Old Who, actually. I bet you're shocked.
Category: AU.
Sub-Category: war story.
Main Characters: REG!Nine, android!Master, Alison Cheney, Colonel von Lossberg (real historical bloke!) and numerous author-created Teutons.
Chap/1shot: Episode One of six.
Pages: I count ten.
Spoilers: Follows Scream of the Shalka; no other references yet.
Warnings: contains a mildly intense, physical depiction of shellshock.
Summary: The Doctor's unidentified superiors send the TARDIS to Passendale, 26th July 1917, where something odd is going on. Bodies are disappearing from no-man's-land, someone's been stealing mustard gas, and one of the nurses at the field hospital is acting very strangely...
Auteur's Note: Verteidigungskrieg is German for 'defensive warfare', and my favourite word in any language. Cheers to [info]ashteth for instigation and beta-reading. Also, I apologise if my rusty GCSE German fails at any point.

INT. TARDIS, and the phone is ringing... )

episkopos - Au Revoir (DW)
Title: Au Revoir
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: Rated SJA: Fun For All Ages
Category: Short.
Sub-Category: all-dialogue all the time, baby.
Main Characters: Seventh Doctor, the Brigadier
Chap/1shot: knowing me it will become part of some tedious extended AU thingy that I never finish.
Pages: couple.
Spoilers: For Battlefield, The Curse of Fenric and (implied) the TV Movie.
Summary: Post-Battlefield. After the fight, after the supper, the Doctor and the Brigadier share Scotch and extended metaphors.
Auteur's Note: You have [info]calapine's fine work His Story to thank for this, and my deep-seated wish to stop hating on Seven so. Also, it was written in one night. I say this purely to wind up my lovely beta. :p
Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Doctor Who. Yet.

He did tell her that he used to work for UNIT. But he doesn’t mention the Brigadier and all the lifetimes that he’s known him for. That in 2006 there’s a human who’s very old and very tired and understands him better than anyone else in the universe. And he doesn’t tell her that he will never, ever say goodbye to him. -- His Story )

Sub-Category: Tooth-achingly sweet
Main Characters: Ianto Jones, Jack Harkness
Chap/1shot: 1shot
Pages: Almost none
Spoilers: For the events of 1x04 - Cyberwoman
Summary/Author's Notes: It's not just me, right, that wondered why Jack keeps putting his hand around Ianto's throat when he kisses him? i'd find it worrying.

Ianto asks Jack one day, half-afraid and foolishly brave )

ashteth - Sweet is: blood, and coffee, and cherries (Poetry)
Sweet is: blood, and coffee, and cherries.

Jon tastes like blood,
And day-old coffee. And al-
Ways smells like cherries.


Blood: red and vital,
Twisting hot under my skin or
Tasted beating bright at pulse points.
As one racing heart is pressed close to another's.

Coffee: rich and bitter as his wit.
Taste that never crosses my lips
'Cept when brought in off my lover's.
A gift from far off lands and nearer kitchens.

Cherries: as familiar as a spring night.
But given sweet new meaning
When smeared between our entwined limbs.
The scent of them is his now, always and forever.

This poem tastes not,
Perhaps, as sweet as Jon does.
But it doesn't smell.

ashteth - Have You Met Miss Green? (HP)
For prompt 044. Benign in my Big Damn Table. 3 down, 97 to go.

Title: Have You Met Miss Green?
Fandom: HP
Rating: PG, for innuendo
Category: Canis
Sub-Category: Hirsutus
Main Characters: Neville, Draco, Remus, Psamathe (non-speaking OFC)
Chap/1shot: 1shot
Pages: 4
Spoilers: Umm… GoF
Summary: In which are related the unusual events of Mr H. Potter's 25th Birthday, with specific regard to the young lady who accompanied Mr N. Longbottom to such.
Author’s Notes: With thanks to Ursula Vernon (a fantastic – in both senses of the word –artist) who considered the sex lives of the species M. Fantastica long before i did.

i'm not actually sure if i have a definite writing style yet but, if i do, then this is a return to the style of my first fic ('Gentleman’s Agreement') just with actual footnotes this time.

Though really, starting the New Year with a Shaggy Dog Story *shakes head* It can only get worse from here on it.

And, yes, i know Psamathe is actually a Nereid's name but i thought it was sweet.

It was Harry Potter’s 25th birthday, and an event of some importance. )

Harem ent. - Belated Tears (TW)
Title: Belated Tears
Fandom: Torchwood
Rating: err...I'd go for PG, there ain't anything untoward in it.
Category: Angst
Sub-Category: Slashy
Main Characters: Ianto Jones, Capt. Jack Harkness
Chap/1shot: 1shot
Pages: 1
Spoilers: Set as the missing scene in ep 1.06 – Countrycide.
Summary: This would be placed just after Jack has blasted everyone and saved the day *what a hero* and just before Gwen does the DURTY SEX thing with Owen.
OMG! THEY DONE THE DURTY SEXIN *gasp*
Disclaimer: Not mine
Author's Notes: I wasn't quite sure about Ianto's little paragraph at the end, it seemed out of character, but I wasn't sure how to make the rest of it fit in without it. And our Ianto does seem prone to random bouts of deep angst and characterisation so...

Feel free to comment, *looks hopefully, like a meer cat, not that they look particularly hopeful, but they kinda pop up with that whole wide-eye thing going on, and that's what I'm aiming for!*

Ps, Crap title...meh


The car was almost stagnant on the way back to the base. Only ragged breathing and Jack's rhythmical tapping on the steering wheel shattered the almost painful silence. Flicking his eyes to the rear view mirror, Jack surveyed the occupants of the back seat. )

Summary: Would probably be longer than the fic itself. BECAUSE IT'S A DRABBLE YAY!

Announcement
*fanfair*

The Sib (now posting under the nom de plume Harem est.) shall be taking up space in this journal.

You'll be able to tell the difference between our fic and etc. by the fact she's a) got more porn, b) got a bigger word count, c) actually written something. by the fact that The Sib'll put Harem est. in her Subject, and i'll put ashteth in mine.

So, not exactly rocket science then.


Also, we'll soon be posting some joint stuff under the name Hark and Harem. And, yep, you'll be able to tell 'cos we'll put that in the Subject.

Helpful like that, we are.

Plus, you know, tabs and shit will be employed.


Ok, go back about your business.

ashteth - My Undying Allegiance and My Immortal Soul: Chapter 1 (HP)
Title: My Undying Allegiance and My Immortal Soul: Chapter 1
Fandom: HP
Rating: PG-13
Category: Angst
Sub Category: Drama

My thanks to Philo - my lovely beta who put up with me and my moveable chapters, and Eleanor – like Remus Lupin she is a killing machine wrapped in the body of a bumbling academic (or so she tells me), she's also one helluva sister. She took this fic when it was still in its embryonic stage, beta read it, reassured me it wasn't crap, and then cheerfully proceeded to insert as many swearwords as she could.

Few people realise how close Sirius Black came to death that night in the Department of Mysteries. )
