Title: Les Fleurs Du Mal

Length: 6710 words
Chapters: 6/? | previous: 1 2, 3, 4, 5
Fandoms: Doctor Who, NBC's Hannibal
Rating: Mature
Chapter warnings: (Highlight for chapter spoilers) should I even bother mentioning cannibalism at this point? It’s pretty much implied with the fandom. Implied stabbing. Possible paranoia fuel.
Characters: Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane, Hannibal Lecter, Will Graham, ensemble cast

Summary: An unexpected detour leads to the Doctor and Ace teaming up with the FBI to investigate a series of disturbingly specific floral-themed murders. But with Ace's increasingly strange dreams, a hyper-empathetic consultant who can't seem to empathize quite so well any more, and one Doctor Hannibal Lecter in the mix, the murders may be the least of their problems...

Notes: Hello again - it's been 10+ months and I'm ready to make some characters suffer. Thank you to Jane for the marvelous meticulous beta work, as always, and to Jaybird for patiently sitting through me talking at lighting pace about the end section. Hopefully I can get back into a somewhat regular posting schedule soon - for this and other fics as well!

Notes: I decided to stop worrying about details and just post it. With the mindframe I'm in currently, that's the most stress-free thing I can do - which means it isn't as coherent/polished as it could be, but I hope people will enjoy it nonetheless. That's probably going to be the case for the rest of the fic.

Also I mayyyy have gone overboard with the cannibal puns. Whoops. Oh well.

Notes: Jane, if you're reading this, please come back - I miss your editing skills so much. I've resorted to switching the font over to Comic Sans and scouring it, panicked, in your absence! (Just joking. Well, I have been doing Comic Sans, but take your time.)
On a slightly more serious note, we're now getting in the stuff I've been excited to share!! More coming soon, I hope.

Notes: This chapter gave me an extraordinary amount of trouble, and as such may not be up to the quality of the rest of the fic. Sorry about that - bridging sections always tends to make me want to throw my laptop against the wall. Hopefully future chapters will be quicker in coming out. Jane isn't around to beta at the moment, so any mistakes are, regrettably, my own.

And a quick note before I continue - this takes place in a slightly divergent timeline, where neither the VNA books or Big Finish audios happened (and neither did the comics or other ranges of books/audios, for that matter). It’s been a pretty long time since Survival, and Ace and the Doctor have just been kind of bumping about the universe for maybe a decade-plus now, righting wrongs, etc. This probably isn’t directly relevant, but I felt it worth mentioning.

Notes: A quick little thing written for the [community profile] who_contest prompt 'Crowds'. Nothing big or especially well-thought out.

In Hex’s opinion, large crowds pretty much universally sucked. )

Notes:
To my great surprise, I found that this chapter didn't require as much editing as I thought it would - although I did end up splitting part of it off into an entirely new chapter that wasn't even in my initial story plan, but kind of... needs to be there, really. Writing is such a weird hobby. Thanks to Jane for eternal support/encouragement/screaming at my terrible cannibal puns. You're the real MVP here.

Characters: Ace McShane, Seventh Doctor
Additional Tags: followup to none but the things that never happened and loved the stars too fondly.
Summary: Ace flops back onto her bed, and briefly considers the age-old question: is it weird to name your newly-adopted trauma cat after your alien ex-boss?
Alternate Links: Whofic, AO3

Notes: The final gift of the year - for the mysterious and ever-supportive M, who asked for an addition/continuation to my Seven & Ace post-Gallifrey series! And how can I say no to a request like that - especially when I've been itching to continue it for quite some time?

Title from Don’t Let’s Start by They Might Be Giants.

I had another Otherstide fic I intended to post, but it looks like it's not going to be done by this year. (Sorry, Ry.) Hopefully I can finish it some time in the near future - I really did love the prompt, but I need to spend more time on it for it to be perfect! :D

Notes: For Jane, whose request was quite simple, as requests go - "all I want for Otherstide is for you to post Les Fleurs Du Mal, you coward". And considering I've been procrastinating on this particular fic for a good long while now, I feel like that's an entirely fair request. Hopefully the act of posting at least the first chapter will kickstart me into finishing it. And  incidentally, many thanks to Jane for letting me bounce all the initial ideas off her when I was first planning/writing this fic.

More to come soon!

Warnings/Notes: Major Character Death, something that's a bit like suicidal ideation if you squint

Summary: Bill had watched Groundhog Day, once. Or, well, she had watched half of it. Skimmed it, sort of. Watched the opening few scenes. Read the summary on Wikipedia?

Length:  2937 words
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Doctor Who,
Rating: Gen
Warnings: None
Characters: Seventh Doctor, OFC (it's literally just a self-insert)
Summary: It was one hell of an incredible spoon performance. He's one hell of a guy.

I've been horribly sick for the last couple of days, so I've struggled to get anything of note done. Which is bad, because the deadline for iddyiddybangbang is fast approaching and I'm nowhere near done. On the other hand, it turns out that high fevers make for interesting dreams, and the one I had last night was particularly wonderful, so I decided to convert it to fic form. I don't feel like I quite captured how great this particular dream was, but it's close enough that I feel happy enough sharing it here. Not sure about AO3 or anywhere else, though - not yet.
 
Please feel free to picture this all taking place in a dusty old road cafe somewhere in West Virginia - which really is nowhere near where I live, but it's close enough for the mood I have in mind.



Well, the Doctor went down to West Virginia... )

Alternate Links: AO3 and whofic

I wanted to take a break from my current (ridiculously longfic) project to write something for the triple birthday of my favorite actors (Sylv, Sophie, and Anthony Ainley!!), and apparently that means that I make the Doctor and Ace feel pain. Like, a lot. This has nothing at all to do with my previous taz/dw crossover. It also cannot possibly be canon in either the Doctor Who or Adventure Zone universes, for reasons that will become apparent. Enjoy. Actually, you probably won't enjoy. 
 
Go suffer, I guess.

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.

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. 

They're in the heat of battle (once again)... )
