gladly beyond any experience

It's been so long since I posted anything much less since I wrote DW fic, but I did this week, so here you go, surprise post.

Title: A Life Like That
Pairing: TenII/Rose
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: Just borrowing from RTD and the Beeb
Summary: The Doctor and Rose Tyler, living a life, day after day. It still takes some adjustment.
Author's Notes: Written for Challenge 002 at then_theres_us


"Come away from the window," she says.
He hears her say it, knows she's right. Leans closer to the window.

Title: As Fair Art Though
Pairing: TenII/Rose
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Just borrowing from RTD and the Beeb
Summary: The Doctor is better than the average boyfriend at remembering anniversaries.
Author's Notes: Written for Challenge 68 at then_theres_us, and as a birthday present for my darling Leah, professor_spork. Unbeta'ed and my first Doctor/Rose fic in about four months, but I hope you like it anyway! 


Rose wakes to the faint tickle of breath in her ear canal. The Doctor prods her bare shoulder with one finger, probably thinking he’s being gentle. “Rose,” he repeats in a more insistent whisper, “what are you doing today?” 

Title: Bail and a Phone Call
Characters and/or Pairings: Amy/Rory, Officer Daniel Edwards
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Just borrowing from the Moff and the Beeb
Summary: Leadworth does not have a prison. But Amy Pond will find a way to end up in one, anyway.
Author's Notes: Written as a dwsanta  Christmas present for oobiemcruby; I hope you enjoyed it! Many thanks to professor_spork  for the beta and the advice.


( "I need your help, Williams. I've had a run-in with the law." )

Title: Moments After I Have Dreamed
Author: Catey/beingfacetious 
Pairing: TenII/Rose
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Just borrowing from RTD and the Beeb.
Summary: There was a time, two years ago, when Rose dreamed constantly of walking away.
Author's Notes: Written for challenge 52 at then_theres_us as a companion piece to i was always afraid. Beta'ed by the wonderful miracleofmercy.

( Those days she woke up the same way she fell asleep: feeling far away and broken hearted. )

 

This evening my roommate and her boyfriend made me watch the two hour season finale of Big Brother with them. Riveting. Now my roommate and her boyfriend are standing just outside my door whisper-yelling at each other about their Argument Of The Day as though I can't hear them. So right since, you know,  these doors are so thick and stage whispers are so silent.

I am definitely going to be able to graduate in four years, despite the school switch and major switch. That's so relieving it's just not even funny. Next year I only have to take like four classes each semester! Only I'll have to decide if I want to take extra electives for funsies. Do I really want to take intro to criminology just because the teacher is hysterical and My Kind Of Person? Probably yes. I was also toying with going ahead and doing a double major, adding English back into Creative Writing, but Lordy I would have to take SO many extra English credit hours. Maybe I'll do it if I don't get into grad school the first year I try.

I've got a question for you fic writers: How do you feel about going back on your own canon? Like for example, I have quite a few post-JE fics because I srsly love TenII, and I'm sure a lot of those fics contradict each other. But to me it's like...it's not like they're in "my verse" just because I happened to write them all. I mean, it's not like professor_spork's Feeling Electric series, where if she just decided that something went differently than she already said it went that would be like "WHAT STOP WHAT ARE YOU DOING." (only not really because Leah could probably do whatever she wanted and no one would say no.) It's just like, I feel as though there are lots of different possible post-JE scenarios and different ones inspire me at different times, so I don't feel bad about writing each of them out, even if I've already written something else that is completely different. Does that make sense/what are your thoughts?

Also if anyone is interested in reading any of my stories for various writing classes this semester, give me a shout and I might see about making that happen. Nothing's officially due/done yet, but. Eventually.

Title: Just Like I Need You
Author: Catey/beingfacetious 
Pairing: Amy/Rory (with a few Eleven references)
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Just borrowing from the Moff and the Beeb.
Summary: Amy Pond prides herself on not needing anyone. Sometimes Rory would like to be needed.
Author's Notes: Set during s5; no spoilers past the Eleventh Hour. Written for challenge 1 at she_is_to_me. No beta this time.

( He would do anything for her, which he feels is more than her Doctor could say... )

Title: In Whose Arms
Author: Catey/beingfacetious 
Pairing: Nine/Rose
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Just borrowing from RTD and the Beeb.
Summary: The Doctor gets a bit jealous of Jack.
Author's Notes: Set during The Doctor Dances. Just a 500-word ficlet written for the lovely challenge 42 ficathon at then_theres_us , from a prompt given by juliet316.

(  The way Rose says "you may cut in," though...that might bother him, just a bit. )

Title: Good Enough
Author: Catey/beingfacetious 
Pairing: Amy/Rory
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Just borrowing from the Moff and the Beeb.
Summary: Amy grows up with Rory while waiting for the Doctor to return.
Author's Notes: This turned into basically a fic in two halves; one from Amelia's perspective and one from Rory's perspective. Also, coincidentally, it's about half fluff and half angst. Set during the Doctor's absence in The Eleventh Hour, so no spoilers beyond that. Beta'ed by the so lovely miracleofmercy.



( The stormy look on her aunt’s face would make any normal nine-year-old girl cower and quickly comply. Amelia is no normal nine-year-old girl.  )

Title: So Quite a New Thing
Author: Catey/beingfacetious 
Pairing: TenII/Rose
Rating: PG-16ish
Disclaimer: Just borrowing from RTD and the Beeb.
Summary: TenII and Rose get a bit more comfortable with each other a week after Journey's End.
Author's Notes: Beta'ed (cautiously) by the so lovely miracleofmercy, who is not to blame if this is awful or scandalous. Written for Challenge 38 at Then There's Us. Meant to be a sequel/companion piece to A Better Fate Than Wisdom, but it could be read alone as well. Enjoy!
