Three dollars and some change

Hey, since when do you write Twilight?

So. Yeah. Am back to my favorite writing exercise, ascending drabbles (100 words, 200 words, etc.) on a new character, in this case Alice Cullen. The idea came from wanting to understand more about Alice Cullen's backstory, and because everything I do is better as a crossover, I've done so in some cases. Information from the books and a Twiki.

Graceful, She Falls
The five senses of Alice, upon awakening
Twilight stories

~~~
( Sight (Alice) )
( Sound (The Doctor) )
( Scent (Duncan MacLeod) )
( Taste (Jack Harkness) )
( Touch (Jasper Whitlock) )

Rating: PG-13 overall for some violence
Disclaimer: Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer. Highlander belongs to Davis/Panzer et al. Torchwood and Doctor Who are in the good hands of the BBC.

From the What the Ficathon! My very first Bones story ever!

Weary, Bone Deep
A Bones/Torchwood crossover
by mhalachaiswords


Summary: Sometimes it takes an encounter with a stranger to break the walls down.
Disclaimer: Hanson and Fox own Bones. Russell T. Davis and the BBC own Torchwood.
Rating: PG-13 for innuendo
Setting/Spoilers: The end of season 3 for Bones and season 2 of Torchwood. Spoilers for all the revelations therein.
Characters: Temperance Brennan and Jack Harkness, team Bones. A little Bones/Harkness action in a way that isn't at all about that slash.
Words: 2,295
Notes: For bessemerprocess in the What the Ficathon. Prompts were for Bones and Torchwood.

Link to the ficathon comm: [ Angela Montenegro never took her eyes off the couple on the raised platform in the center of the lab. "Someone's going to get lucky." ]

Story under the cut

( Story )

In celebration for surviving a job interview today, I'm starting yet another one.



Summary: In 1992, an American corporation known as 'The Centre' isolated a young pretender named Ianto, and exploited his genius for their research.

Two years later, Torchwood came to take back what was theirs.

Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own Torchwood. Pretender belongs to NBC.
Rating: PG-13 for language, violence
Setting: Post Torchwood season 2; twelve years after the start of Pretender (ignoring the movies for the most part)
Characters: Team Torchwood, Jarod, Miss Parker
Words: 5,425


( Part One )

Parts One, Two, Three, Four.

( Part Four )

Parts One, Two, Three, Four.
The story at my website.

( Part Two )

Cool. I wrote over 5,500 words today. I am made of win!



Summary: Jack knows better than to trust little girls in haunted houses. Honest.
Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own Dr. Who and Torchwood. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is all Joss, baby.
Rating: PG
Setting/Spoilers Post BtVS, after Torchwood's A Day In The Death. Not BtVS comic compliant.
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness, Dawn Summers. The beginnings of a relationship. Flirting, nothing more.
Words: 6,300
Note: I was initialy going to put the adventures of Doctor and Buffy in at this point, but Buffy's voice is hard to get at some days. Whereas Dawn won't shut up. Enjoy!

Part I: Five Times The Doctor Met Someone New: Angels and Drums.
Part II: Seeking Arcana.

( Vacations, Jack thought in disgust. About twenty years after he realized he couldn't die, he'd given up on vacations. There'd always be another day for 'rest', he figured. So why he'd let Gwen Cooper talk him into a few days of vacation, he'd never know. )

Summary: Dawn is looking for Buffy in all the wrong places...
Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own Dr. Who and Torchwood. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is all Joss, baby.
Rating: PG
Setting Post BtVS, after Dr. Who's Last of the Time Lords. Uses a minor non-spoilery character from Torchwood's Dead Man Walking, but you don't need to know that show.
Characters/Pairings: Dawn Summers, Little Girl
Words: 450
Note: Um, yeah. Stupid new fandoms. But I'm still working on Inevitable. This little series is to prevent me from going loca.

Sequel to Five Times The Doctor Met Someone New: Angels and Drums.

( Dawn sat across the table from the little girl, wondering if she was signing a deal with the devil. )

And then I went crazy and wrote this.



Summary: No matter how long he searched, no matter how much he hoped, Jack Harkness never expected to see Grey again.
Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own Torchwood. Laurel K. Hamilton owns Anita Blake. Crossovers own me.
Rating: PG-13
Setting/Spoilers: Set after Torchwood 2x06, "Reset" (the most recent episode in the UK, and spoilers for that due to a certain thing), and spoilers for characters revealed in Torchwood 2x05, "Adam". It's ten years "after canon" for Anita Blake, because the books started in 1994 and I say so.
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness and Team Torchwood (TW) and Nathaniel Graison (AB)
Words: 9,035
Notes: Yes, I am going *there*. Author notes on this one are at the end of the story because I feel the need to explain myself for once.

( Jack shoved his hands into his coat pockets. The wet fingers of the inevitable downpour crept down his collar, and he wished, not for the first time, that the Rift had opened in the French Riviera, not rainy, dreary Cardiff. )

( Author's rambles )

Sunday morning flashfic!

This one has probably been done before, but I haven't had a chance to get into the Torchwood fanfic yet, so I have no idea. I'm still getting my feet in this fandom, so take that into consideration. All comments welcome. As for that schedule I posted, well, Chapter 10 of Physics is half-way done. Up soon.



Summary: Sometimes, it seems as if the dark-haired girls named Gwen will always be the ones to save Cardiff...
Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own it all.
Rating: PG for some brief swearing.
Setting/Spoilers: Set early in series two of Torchwood, some vague spoilers for episodes aired so far, and from the Ninth Doctor's "The Unquiet Dead".
Characters/Pairings: Jack, Gwen, Rhys, and the rest of the crew. This is rather gen, but there is some background Gwen/Rhys.
Words: 4,400
Notes: I know the folks at the BBC say it was nothing but coincidental casting, but I can't leave it alone: same actress, two characters, both named Gwen, in Cardiff, on Dr. Who and Torchwood. I had to find a way to make it logical.

( Gwen turned the photograph over the right way. What she saw made no sense. It was a picture of herself.  )
