Beyond the Roundels

A 500 Prompts fic I started typing up quite a few months ago and finally finished yesterday - for a prompt left by jjpor many moons ago . Also for genprompt_bingo, allbingo & 100ships.

Summary: Ben walks straight into trouble - and it looks just like Polly.


I got very bad at actually going through with writing ficlets for anything I was writing/watching just to get me going (and achieve more 100fandoms), and I've vowed to be better, so have a random flash fic for what turns out to be still my fave of the Heyer detectives (out of the ones I've re-read lately):

Summary: Vicky, of course, has the perfect performance planned for the big day.

(I should check my notebook for whatever other random and deeply obscure first-in-the-fandom stuff is lurking in there, really.)

As I said, I did some rewatching of Five, and then tried to write this for Whumptober prompt 19 "Bleeding" even if I didn't manage to actually type it up fully till now. I am a bit shocked at myself that I couldn't get it to double up for any of my bingos! (I mean, I suppose I could have claimed it for the hc_bingo wild card square, but that seemed a bit pointless.)

Bleeding Out (2377 words) by thisbluespirit

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Relationships: Fifth Doctor & Tegan Jovanka
Characters: Tegan Jovanka, Fifth Doctor (Doctor Who)
Additional Tags: Blood, Gunshot Wounds, Whumptober 2021, Historical
Summary: The Doctor gets shot and there's nobody on hand to help but Tegan.

Like anything Five/Tegan I write, I do not know whether to label it with the ship or not, so I settled for not. (I tag it gen, whispering intently, "It's a lie!" lol.) I'm not sure it's come out as I wanted, but never mind. I'm in a place where I rearrange all my words in the wrong places, but I still want to write and here is a thing, which is a thing, and I love them very much anyway, whatever way you look at them.


Also I was trying recently to do a writing exercise as a thing to stop me having long periods where I don't write at all (which is fine in some ways, but then, because of the ME, it's very hard to work my way back in or not to immediately overdo it again when I do feel better), so made myself write a drabble or ficlet about anything, like the last thing I watched/read or whatever. But I liked this little one for Hammer's Vampire Circus (what I had just watched that day) enough to type it up for 100ships and 100fandoms. (It was a weird one! I kept changing my mind about it. It's got some interesting things, but it's also kind of like Vampire Gary Glitter child molestation at the same time and idk about that, really.) This ficlet brought to you chiefly by the fact that I always like Adrienne Corri and that my chiefly-DW-based experience of Laurence Payne had not at all led me to expect that he would be really quite sad and pretty in a Hammer film. But he was, and they were a thing together, sort of.

Relationships: Albert Mueller/Anna Mueller (Vampire Circus)

Summary: The ghost of Anna Mueller is in this room, even if she doesn’t know it.

I'd finished this before going to the doctor's, but it needed another round of editing first. This is a belated birthday fic for john_amend_all, which I hope will be acceptable!

I was looking back at my Unconventional Courtship tag when I was going to do my usual ficlets, and found a Lucie/Clara summary John had left me once, and it turned into this. (It also hits a few bingo squares and things, but that's incidental.)

Summary: Lucie and Clara keep running into each other, but it's only the right time when it's too late.

(I should also thank persiflage_1 for doing a beta for me, but I wound up altering it quite a lot after that, so must also note that all subsequent errors are entirely my own fault!)
