Summary: Jack did not expect this form of salvation from a tight situation.

Read it on AO3.

Totally not canon for The Actor AU #2. Meta isn't in the prime universe in that AU, or in canon for that matter. I have no idea how/why he's here, and thus, this didn't actually happen. But it's fun to imagine.

Do I usually list Will as an OC when I post here? He's a regular in this part of this series. It feels weird to mention him, but it also feels weird to not mention him. He's not in my tag list. Maybe I should add him.

Fluff

shivver: (DT Red Nose Day)
My friend is trying to teach me how to write fluff. I mean, really, I have no idea. I tried to write a fluffy seasonal piece this holiday and it veered off into some weird territory. Another friend of mine was very amused when I tried to learn how to write fluff by looking up definitions and examining other writers' fluff stories; I believe her phrase was, "You're trying to learn to write fluffy scientifically."

This friend, however, has come up with a great idea. She wants me to write David~Will fluff (I'm using the not-so-common convention of the tilde indicating a platonic relationship), and so, for the past two days, when I talk to her (we chat over IM while I'm at work), she's given me a phrase and I had to build a story around it within five minutes. So far it's worked. Here are the two stories I've written so far, and I'm pretty pleased with them. I'll probably post them on AO3 and whatnot after I've collected a few of them.

"Step One"

Title: "Step One"
Fandom(s): Doctor Who
Characters: Tenth Doctor, David Tennant
Pairing(s): None
Rating: G
Genre: Sci-fi
Word Count: 4099

Summary: The first step on a long journey is always the hardest.

Author's Notes: This is a story in AU #2 for The Actor. (You can find all the supplemental stories here.) It is set just after chapter 5 of A Choice of a Lifetime and just before "Full Circle".

As usual, this is highly spoilerific for The Actor and you really should read that and A Choice of a Lifetime first.

This also fills in a spot for my Gen Prompt Bingo card - "Happy Endings". Most of it was written a while back, but the card gave me the idea for the ending, so I'm claiming that it fills the spot. So sue me.

Summary: One cannot draw accurate conclusions when one does not have all the facts. (AU #2 for "The Actor", story #4)

Author's Notes: This is the fourth story in AU #2 for my story The Actor. This is set after "A Scene from a Texas Diner", probably about month or so later. If it seems familiar, it's because it borrows a few concepts and scenes from "Discovery" (which I retconned from this AU).

These stories are being written out of order, so I apologize for any disconnect between them. Eventually, when they're all written, hopefully they'll feel cohesive and the character development is less jerky.

Spoiler Warning: Requires The Actor and A Choice of a Lifetime; won't make much sense without them.

Okay. As I wrote earlier, with retconning "Discovery", a couple of the later stories have to be rewritten, and I've finished with Repercussions. Well, there's a bit of minor editing that I need to do for chapters 2 and 3, which I'll post later today or tomorrow, but for now, here's chapter 1. It's the chapter that needed the most modification, as the "adventure" part of the story had to be completely rewritten. However, I think it's actually a lot better then the original version: dealing with the cube attack in this way was a lot more realistic and fun, though that opinion might also be influenced by my apparent love of physically torturing David. Anyway, here it is.

Okay, last one, at least for now. This one is set before Neighbours, but after David leaves the Doctor's TARDIS. It's very experimental: it features a scene I've pictured in my head for a long time, but I don't normally write pieces like this, and it shows. It's a bit rough, and I'm not sure it has a point.

I'm hoping now that David quiets down in my head and I can move on to working on other stories that I've thought of and works that I've abandoned for a while. I read through what I've written of what will probably be my next multi-chapter, and I'm starting to get very excited about returning to it. Wish me luck!

And... the day after the parade, pain! Cymbals are heavy. But I find I'm only hurting after the first parade. After that, I've built up some strength and it's fine.
