( When I write I write long, flakey meta stuff about fannish participation )
It was really slow at work a couple of weeks ago, when the computer system was down for a week, so I decided to write one sentence fics. I finally remembered to bring the scrap of paper home so I could type it up.
The first is the opening of my Simon Tam/James Wilson fic, but it changes the point of the fic (which was originally porn), so now it's about Simon and River and strangely supernatural for
Firefly.
When they reached the end of the world, Simon turned right, towards the past and Earth-that-was, although he knew that River, had they given her the opportunity, would have turned into the known and unknowable future, away from him.
Doctor Who: Doctor/Jack, kind of.
The sense of Jack, the fact of his presence and the impossibility of his existence, sat in the back of the Doctor's mind like a stone in his shoe: it itched, and the only relief the Doctor had found was in worrying at it—imagining meeting Jack again, planning what he'd say, fantasising what Jack had fantasised about him—it passed the time.
House: House/Brenda, because there needs to be more Brenda fic.
They spent the evenings together sometimes, side by side on Brenda's couch arguing about general Hospital or in House's bed making out and laughing or in the clinic trading insulting comments about the patients: House was happiest the days after the making out, Brenda the days after nights in the clinic.
Angel: Wesley/Illyria, my favourite pairing ever, possibly.
It did not feel like the end of the world (she had seen that once before); like someone had extinguished the sun (she could feel the earth's spin and knew it would face its star again), it did not feel as though anything had stopped (she still breathed, the blood circulated through the shell, she could still hear the insect hum of the traffic), but it felt, and that was worth fighting for.
