An Introduction

 Hello, all - I'm JustMcShane, and I write fic, sporadically. You may have seen me on AO3 at JustMcShane, where I post most of my work, or possibly on whofic, where I also post some amount of my stuff. I rec fics fairly regularly over attardis_library and I honestly can't think of any other sites that I frequent often enough to mention. Hopefully I'll be using this account frequently in the future.

I use she/her pronouns, incidentally. 

See you all around, I guess!

fic: Phantasmal and Resplendent | Doctor Who/The Adventure Zone

 I'm going to post all of my pre-existing fics here, just for the sake of keeping thing consistent.


Title: phantasmal and resplendent 
Length: 3638 words

Chapters: 1/1

Fandom: Doctor Who, The Adventure Zone

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Warnings: Swearing

Characters: Ace McShane, Seventh Doctor, Romana (II), Melanie Bush, Bernice Summerfield, Chris Cwej, Roz Forrester.

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe: TAZ Fusion

Summary: From the tip of the umbrella emerges a lot more than a spark. It's a raging inferno, a fireball the size of a elephant that swells and burns, and shoots through the air, trailing sparks. And then we see Ace.
Alternate Links: AO3

Sparked originally from the thought that Ace and Lup might get along rather well if they ever met, and then the thought that Seven's brolly might have potentially been the Umbra Staff in another universe. Spoilers, therefore, for up to Story and Song from the TAZ podcast.

Summary: She takes it out and cradles it in her hands, and maybe rocks back and forth a bit while she tries to remember and piece together. Someone gave it to her. Someone important. Her mind keeps flashing back to the sound that had followed that man’s departure. Feels like home. Fix things. Tesseract.
