Let's see colours that have never been seen...

'And I would give all this and heaven too,
I would give it all if only for a moment,
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
But it never makes sense to me at all.'

Fic: Leave my body (Doctor Who, Ten, Wilf, Eleven)

Title: Leave my body
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: PG
Genre: Angst, character introspection, meta-fic (sort of)
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Wilfred Mott, Eleventh Doctor, mentions of various Ten-era characters
Setting: The End of Time/post-The End of Time (so spoilers for that, obviously)
Word Count: 2294
Summary: "Oh, people would still call him ‘the Doctor’, he would still lead the same life. He would carry on, but he would be gone. Pretty schizophrenic, but that was who he was."

A/N: Wow. This was actually written back in November, during NaNoWriMo, and has been sleeping on my hard-drive ever since. Well, not exactly, since it had been edited and re-edited until my beta and I were pretty much happy with it. Said beta is the wonderful

novindalf (who incidentally gave me the prompt that inspired this fic) and I owe her big, big thanks for the several evenings she spent beta-ing this, correcting my English mistakes, pointing out that readers can't read my mind and that I needed to be clearer, for clever rephrasing and overall turning this into more of a readable fic and less of a philosophy essay (which is sort of was).
Basically, this fic is about my take on Ten's regeneration process, and writing down my thoughts on it, on EoT, on Doctor Who in general, and how I see Ten's behaviour during the specials. It's a declaration of love to Ten (and Wilf) and how I love and relate to him even during his darkest hour. I needed to get it out of my system.
The title comes from Florence + The Machine's song of the same name. I listened to it on repeat while writing this. The lines 'I don't want your future, I don't need your past. One bright moment is all I ask.', 'I'm gonna leave my body, I'm gonna lose my mind' and 'History keeps pulling me, pulling me down' were particularly inspiring.
(I am well aware that I 'owe' Doctor Who fic to some of you, so I hope this will be a tolerable compensation in the meanwhile :))

( "Even then, even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away... and I'm dead." )

Fic: Valuable assets (Spooks/Sherlock crossover)

Title: Valuable assets (part 1 of 'An interested party')
Fandoms: Sherlock BBC/Spooks crossover (can be read even if you've only seen one of the two shows)
Set during S2 of Spooks and pre-Sherlock series, mild spoilers regarding Ruth and Harry.
Characters: Harry Pearce, Mycroft Holmes, 'Anthea', mentions of Ruth Evershed and Section D.
Genre: Humor (verging on crack), pre-drama (yes, in my head it means something)
Rating: G
Word count: 2140
A/N: This one is for

keep_counting and

fueschgast and the idea came when we decided on Twitter that Valentine's Day would in fact be 'Harry Pearce and Mycroft Holmes appreciation Day' (yes, that was a while ago). We figured these two had to be written together somehow. Here is the first part, finally!

( 'Have you been drinking, Jools? The British Government isn't made of only one per... Oh, I see.' )

Fic: Annoying television (and a bottle of gin)

Title:Annoying television (and a bottle of gin)
Fandom: Spooks
Set during series 7
Characters/pairings: Series 7 Section D, mostly Ros and Harry, mentions of Ros/Adam, Fiona, Wes, and Jocelyn Myers.
Genre: Angst (I think), friendship
Rating: PG for swearing and mentions of drinking, but nothing more
Word count: 1700

A/N: Very, very late Christmas prompt for

aletheia08 who wanted a ficlet about Ros Myers. Me being me, I got the inspiration after Christmas, and it turned out to be a bit longer than a ficlet. I hope you'll enjoy it anyway. It was my first time having Ros mostly interact with someone who wasn't Lucas, and it feels like ages since I posted fic, so I hope this is okay. :) Reviews are always much appreciated!

( She likes Christmas, unlike what people tend to think. Or she would like it if all the things that went with it didn’t have to be so bloody painful. )
