You could consider this a slightly belated More Joy Day present. You could also consider this the most un-flash of flash fics, from a prompt troyswann left me.

A/N: All because suddenly one day I realized that Esposito & Ryan are the Chekov and Sulu of the 21st century.

Oh wow, I totally wrote more this past year than I thought I had!

( fics, in chronological order )

A/N: Written in approximately one hour on a plane, this is probably both wildly OOC and wildly inaccurate. Happy holidays, anyway! *big, cheesy grin*

Is Livejournal crapping out on anyone else the past couple days, or is it me and my laptop?

Warning(s): spoilery for all of the new 5th and 6th series; will be completely jossed by the 7th series whenever it starts.

Fandom, characters: Doctor Who, River Song/Ace McShane
Rating: Teen and up
Word count: approx. 3500 words
A/N: Written for ionlylurkhere.livejournal.com in the dw_femslash ficathon. You give me timestreams-crossing and femslash, of course I’m going to involve Ace somehow. Vague mentions of NAs and BF audios shenanigans, but that should probably also be expected; and general spoilers for the latest series and River's storyline.
Summary: Linear timelines? We don’t need no stinking linear timelines.

No, seriously, WTF, LJ? I haven't been able to get on at all in days. Apparently other people can, though?

Whatever, I ( kinda want to talk about Warehouse 13 some more )

Title: Starfire
Author: aces
Word count: approx. 2500 words
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing/characters: the TARDIS, the Doctor, numerous female companions
Rating: all ages
Disclaimer: Doctor Who and its characters and concepts do not belong to me, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Prompt from queer_fest: The TARDIS. The reason why the Doctor's companions have tended to be female actually has little to do with the Time Lord's preferences in such matters.
Author’s note: I wrote this before I saw “The Doctor’s Wife” and was a little startled at how well it meshed. I’ve only done a little tweaking since, to help it fall even more in line with that story (so, y’know, spoilers).
Summary: She made her own choices, every nanosecond of her existence.

Note: On a whim, I've also made this available in audio form (15.5 mb, not quite 16 minutes long, the quality could be better but it's not bad either).

Title: Options
Author: aces
Word count: approx. 2500 words
Fandom: Castle
Pairing/characters: Castle, Alexis, Beckett, Esposito, Ryan; Beckett/OFC
Rating: all ages
Disclaimer: Castle and its characters do not belong to me; no copyright infringement intended.
Prompt, from queer_fest: Beckett, Beckett quietly having a girlfriend the same way she quietly has boyfriends. Negotiating explaining her bisexuality to the others when the relationship comes to light.
Summary: Oh Castle, the things you don’t know about me could fill a book. ~“Vampire Weekend”
Author's Notes: Thanks to troyswann for her awesome betaing, as always.

Fandom: Castle

Spoilers/episode tag for 3x06, “3XK,” (serial killer ep, for those of you who have as much trouble remembering episode titles as I do), though this was also sparked by Martha’s scene in “Knockdown.”

Word count: approx. 3000 words
A/N: for fignewton’s crossover Alphabet Soup.
A/N, part 2: In the Eighth Doctor Adventures (EDAs), the novels produced by the BBC from the late 1990s through 2005, the 8th Doctor had an extreme bout of amnesia and spent well over a century on Earth attempting to recover from it. That period spans all of the 20th century and, well, you’ll see later why I mention it.
Summary: Never did they realize that really, he was all the same person.

LAST ONE, OMG. The last time I wrote 8 stories (including yuletide) in approximately 1 month? Was probably before college. I have to thank all my prompters for the challenge. It has been fun.

Title: Fitz Kreiner, Intergalactic Private Detective
Author: aces
Fandom, characters: Doctor Who, Fitz, Amy, Rory, Eleven
Word count: not quite 3000 words
For lucia_tanaka, who requested Fitz being awesome after the Time War and happening to run into Team!Eleven. (I paraphrase.)

Summary: “I was expecting at least a half-dozen outstanding warrants for extradition, treason, sedition, obstruction, and various other crimes.”
