Gems of Memory

So I've seen a few people post odds and ends of things they've written at the end of the year.  Mostly things they just never finished.  And I figured why not?  Amy-verse I'll hold back, since I'd like to finish that someday, and I didn't bother looking through my other notebooks to find things, but have two fics I started but didn't finish.

The first one is a crossover of Avengers MCU and The Twelve.  Mostly because The Twelve gave me feels.  Lots of feels.  Curse you, JMS.  But yeah, between the Witness (seriously, just the concept of his character gives you feeeeeeeels), Rockman (That one nearly legitimately made me cry), Captain Wonder (oh, god, the feels with that story line.  Just when you think JMS is done with you, he hits you harder), Master Mind Excello (though admittedly, his feels came late in the game), I would have been sold.  But no.  JMS also made me fall head over heals for the Phantom Reporter, who is all kinds of adorable and needs cuddles.  Especially with his crush on the Black Widow.  And the worst thing is that there is no fic of the Phantom Reporter that I can find, and this makes me a sad, sad panda.  He's got that reporter sort of cynicism with a dosage of JMS romanticism, and it works.  I just... I really fell in love with this character.

Naturally, when I see a lack of something in fandom, I usually set about to fix this.  Sadly, while I already wanted to put the original Black Widow in fic, I also had no idea where to go with it.  So I started writing, so see if something would come to me.  It unfortunately didn't.  But here is the first scene, in case you were interested.

( Fire and Shadow )

The second was going to be an epic vampire fic. Instead of the pretty boy toy or hot chick as a vampire, I was having a seven-year-old girl. A seven-year-old girl who was one nasty piece of work, turned into a vampire when she was really young and unable to age physically. She's also brilliant with electronics (on par with Tony) and hell bent on making the Avengers into her play things as she takes over the world. Unfortunately, Tony is immune to her mind control, so she uses him as bait to trap the others and mind controls them. Then she uses them to torture Tony, because she's sadistic like that. I had one scene planned where she has Cap holding her up so that she can drink a terrified Tony's blood. It was going to be fun.

Also, it comes to light (via Coulson after they've been saved) that the little vampire-chick is actually a female version of Tony from another dimension. In her world, Howard Stark hadn't been drunk. So when the vampires came to attack, he went out to fight them instead of staying locked up in the closet, knocked out drunk by Maria who knew such things (his mother came from a long line of vampire hunters and had natural immunity to vampire mind control that she passed on to Tony/Natasha). This caused the vampires to find Maria and little Natasha. Maria they killed, Natasha they turned into a vampire like them, hoping to use her brains. Except Natasha got the better of all of them and killed them in revenge. Then she alternated between murder, ruling the world, and inventing. Tony was not happy to find this out.

The main problem with this was I just wasn't feeling it? I probably could find it if tried re-writing it a few times, but at the time I didn't have the energy for it and I just sort of gave up on it. I might come back to it eventually, I suppose. We'll see. There's not much of this one.

And yeah, that's basically the two fics.  I might return to them some day.  I'm currently got The Evil Plan I'm working on, but after that I don't think I've got anything grabbing, so I might try one of these again or Amy-verse.  We'll see.  In the mean time, expect an exchange fic from me once the reveals go up on the secret santa.  I've also got the next Amy-verse waiting for me to have energy to edit it, and two fics in Nar's mailbox waiting to be beta'ed, so you'll have fic sometime soon. 

Yup, it's finished.  I might re-write the ending, since I wasn't overly pleased with it, but it's finally finished.  Now I just have to type it up and send it to the beta.  Hopefully she'll be done with angst cupids by that point.

It doesn't come out very often, and certainly not for most things people consider chick flicks, but every so often Mem gets a little gushy and likes things romantic.  Either that, or the world is ending and hell has frozen over.  Take your pick. 


( The end of the world as we know it. )

So with Friday being the 49th anniversary of the first episode of Doctor Who, my mother and I have been watching one serial of each Doctor to celebrate.  Which does lead to some plot bunnies.


( Barbara and Richard Mace plot bunnies therein. )

Fair warning, this rant has severe case of AD-OS!  That's Attention Deficit - OH SHINY! 

( I am far too sober to be this incoherent... )

( In which Mem grumbles about her latest protest fic. )


Wow, that's two rants in a row.  I don't know what's gotten into me recently.  I guess my daily quota of ranting hasn't been filled enough lately.  At least I've had two awesome fills over on Avengers kink for prompts I wrote, so I'm not quite as aggrevated as I sound.  There is some love for the world.  <3

So I was looking things up on wiki, trying to find out more about the new Fourth Doctor BFAs.  Then I found out that Geoffrey Beevers and Caroline John were married.  Who, for those of you who are unfamiliar with their names, played Crispy Master and Liz Shaw in Doctor Who respectively.  They've got a daughter, who is in one of the BFAs.

Yeah, Crispy Master and Liz Shaw.  Let that mental image burn behind your eyeballs for a while and see what that does to you.

I'm not sure if I want Crispy Master and Liz fic now, or if I just want to block the whole thing from my memory.  Glad they've found happiness together, but at the same time... My eeeeeeeeeeyes...

So Nar has posted a list of characters the five things meme has spurred.  Considering mine has gone just as out of control as hers has due to some mutual trolling, it's probably a good idea to round them up. The list will be updated as new requests get filled.

So without further ado, the characters I've written head cannon for:

The Brigadier                       Shalka Doctor                       Tenth Doctor

Dear Writters of Who,

I regret to inform you that you have disappointed me.  On thinking it over, I realized there wasn't a single actual dragon in canon Who.  At least not that I'm aware of.  I looked it up on the DW wiki, and so far there was only one potential episode with Seven that I haven't seen where there might be dragons, but it didn't seem like that from the description I read?   Even if there is, one serial out of how many? 

We need some frickin' dragons in here, people.  This is a grievous omission that needs to be rectified.  Immediately.  If we can do Atlantis twice, I want dragons.  >.>

Sincerely,
A concerned dragon. 

P.S.
Especially gold ones.  I do so like gold ones.  *ignores the fact no one will get her B5 reference*

So apparently I need some sort of Doctor Who/Three Musketeer crossover. I'm aware that this has been done before with Church and Crown in the Big Finish main line - and quite wonderfully too. I enjoyed Church and Crown a lot.

However, after watching the new Three Musketeers and seeing James Corden (Craig in New Who), we decided to make a day of it. Now we're watching the Disney version, which will be followed by the Micheal York version. Except, watching the opening credits of the Disney version, Mem realized that Holy Shit, one of her favorite movies has Paul McGann in it.

HOW DID I MISS THAT?

Not only that, but he's the shrieky, wimpy guy who's chasing after D'Artagnan. It's slightly scarring actually, to realize that is the Doctor. Well, will be the Doctor. This movie came first. Still, very scarring.

At the same time, now I want more Musketeer/Doctor goodness. Come on. The Master could be Cardinal Richelieu. It would be awesome. I know there's a Tim Curry Master prompt on the anon meme. Actually, come to think of it, I've considered writing for that prompt with the Three Musketeers in mind. Except I've got too many fics lined up to write. Sigh. Someone write it for me? I'd love you forever. <3

Now I'm going to continue watching the Disney version in peace and try not to think to hard about the casting of certain characters. -_-;;;
