Title: To Dust
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Ship: Ten, Lazarus
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: Spoilers for and quote from 3x07 The Lazarus Experiment. It all comes to dust.
Disclaimer: DW is not mine
Prompt #1: dust

In the end you just get tired…tired of watching everything turn to dust.

Of course Lazarus couldn’t see that, hundreds of years ago the Doctor couldn’t either. There had been times in his youth when he considered searching for the secret to true eternal life rather than settle for the thirteen lifetimes of a Time Lord. Since then he had seen many times what that search could lead someone to.

Things like what Lazarus had done. Even if the human wouldn’t understand that it was for his own good, he had to see why the Doctor had to stop him.



Title: First Sight
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Robin Hood (2006)
Characters/Ship: Guy, Marian, Vasey, Guy/Marian
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: Pre-series, related to my Final Testament story. Guy first sees Marian.
Disclaimer: Robin Hood isn’t mine, but I like to play with Guy
Prompt #2: festival

All I knew then was that I was drawn to her, this chestnut haired young woman in a red dress. Her movements entranced me, the glimpses of her smile that I caught as she twirled to the music captivated me.

I would gladly go back and savor that moment, just observing her joy, before Vasey leaned over and whispered, “That is Sir Edward’s daughter, I trust you can make use of her.”

That made things more complicated and it would be years before I could extract my feelings from Vasey’s commands. I would have loved her better on my own.



Title: Racing the Storm
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Ship: Rose, Doctor mentioned, Rose/Doctor implied
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: Big Turn Left spoilers. Rose’s quest to find the Doctor leads to…
Disclaimer: Doctor Who isn’t mine
Prompt #3: driftwood

She had been tossed onto the shores of a dozen universes before she found the right one, and each one had seemed worse than the one before. She helped where she could but she had to find the Doctor to save all of those universes, so she couldn’t linger.

When finally every reading declared she’d landed in the right universe, even there destruction rained down on London from above. Rose ran towards the danger, knowing that was where he would be.

He stopped it, but in the wake of the ship’s destruction she found her own hopes destroyed as well.



Title: Learn Something New Every Day
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: The Office (US)
Characters/Ship: Jim, Pam, Michael, Jim/Pam
Rating: G
Notes/Spoilers: pre-series, only general spoilers. Jim learns about Pam (and Michael).
Disclaimer: Still not my characters
Prompt #4: float

It was, as Jim would come to know, a typical Michael move to decide to bring everyone root beer floats and not keep them cold enough on the trip to the office. It would have been utterly forgettable except that it was the day Jim leaned Pam liked her floats a little melted and well blended.

Jim filed that knowledge away in his ever growing memory of things about Pam. Things about Pam he remembered, which meant he hadn’t forgotten about it when Michael did it again a few months later. So it was also something he knew about Michael.



Title: Growing Up Stark
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire
Characters/Ship: Ned, his father and brothers
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: pre-series so no real spoilers. What did you think I would do with a prompt like “Ice”?
Disclaimer: ASOIAF is GRRM’s
Prompt #5: ice

Brandon, Eddard, and little Benjen sat enthralled as Lord Rickard polished his great sword. Ned knew from experience how sharp the dark Valyrian blade was, because Brandon had dared him to tough it some months back. Brandon hadn’t let his brother hurt himself badly, and even claimed he’d been teaching Ned a lesson when father demanded an explanation.

And even with that supposed lesson, a part of Ned longed to reach out and feel the smooth blade again. It was unlike anything he’d ever felt. But he supposed he wait until Ben was old enough to be taught a lesson.



Title: Keeping Busy
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Characters/Ship: Landry and SG-1
Rating: G
Notes/Spoilers: General season 9/10 spoilers. Is relevant to crossover-verse but written for canon. SG-1 will be there when you need them, the rest of the time…
Disclaimer: Stargate in any form isn’t mine
Prompt #6: part time job

Hank Landry couldn’t argue with everything SG-1 had and continued to do for the world, but it was almost as hard to deny that it was a half time team now. Carter, Teal’c, and Jackson all had other obligations and side projects now.

It was hell to try and manage that when the president, or Jaffa council, or the IOA could just as easily call the flagship crew away at any moment. He often wished Mitchell would have taken the chance to rebuild the team from scratch.

But if he had, they might be less likely to save the world.



Title: Tine Lords Don’t Sunburn
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Ship: Cloen, Cloen/Rose
Rating: PG
Notes/Spoilers: Post JE, Cloen is reminded he’s half human now.
Disclaimer: If DW were mine…well this wouldn’t be fanfic would it?
Prompt #7: sunburn

“Time Lords don’t sunburn,” the Doctor insisted. Unfortunately, the color in his cheeks betrayed his new, more human, biology. It was a little like regeneration, continuing to find new quirks about his new body, but some of them were changes to things he had always taken for granted.

He only had one lifetime to figure out this sort of body; this body specifically, he wasn’t going to get another one. He supposed he shouldn’t wear this skin out, he should take care of it; and all the more logical if he could talk Rose into helping him put on sunscreen.



Title: Too Familiar, Too Different
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Ship: Eleven, Amy, Doctor/Rose
Rating: G
Notes/Spoilers: 5x05 “Flesh and Stone” related because it had to be done.
Disclaimer: If I owned DW someone would have hung a lantern on them filming on Bad Wolf Bay again.
Prompt #8: ocean

“Time can be rewritten,” he answered Amy as he stared out at the rolling sea.

It was a good thing no one had told him that a few months back, he would have overreacted to the idea and done something stupid…something else stupid.

It was interesting to consider, but that didn’t make it a good thing, or something he could go playing about with. He’d have to find something else to distract him from that train of thought.

But why did the beach have to look so much like that other one? The one where he’d left his heart behind.



Title: To Wander Forever
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Ship: The Doctor
Rating: G
Notes/Spoilers: New Who in tone, though not stated, no spoilers. The Doctor wanders the TARDIS
Disclaimer: Doctor Who belongs to a lot of people at the BBC
Prompt #9: wander

Wandering the depths of the TARDIS was like another kind of trip through time. There were styles and rooms that had not been forgotten in the near infinite depths of the ship.

Sometimes the Doctor wondered if he wandered far enough if he might a way to exit into the times the TARDIS remembered. It would be an impressive feet if the TARDIS could do it, but she was quite impressive.

He reminded himself that things outside the TARDIS were too interesting for him spend time testing that hypothesis, especially knowing that if he started he’d end up searching forever.



Title: Rain Dance
Author: jedi_of_urth
Fandom: Srargate SG-1 / Doctor Who
Characters/Ship: Daniel Jackson, Rose Tyler, sort of shippy
Rating: G
Notes/Spoilers: Set in my crossover headcanon, would be mid SG-1 S3. Daniel/Rose fun and bonding.
Disclaimer: Neither Stargate or DW belongs to me
Prompt #10: rain

Daniel stood just under the roof, enjoying the soft, spring rain. His time on Abydos had given him an appreciation of rain that he hadn’t had before, and he hadn’t lost that in the two years since.

He smiled as Rose walked up next to him but before he could say anything she grabbed his wrist. “Come on,” she said with a wild grin, “don’t just stand and watch it.”

Next thing he knew they were spinning and dancing through the raindrops. He felt silly, but so alive; as, even through his fogged glasses, Rose’s smile lit up the world.
