regndoft2012 will be over in less than an hour, so I should probably write a bit about that... but first I should probably post my responses to that fic meme here for posterity. :P
Three prompts all in all (alas, I'm not wildly talented, nor am I wildly popular); two Good Omens and one Doctor Who. The GO bit surprised me as well, as I don't exactly blog an awful lot about it. Still, it's my favourite book, so I'm not complaining.
Crowley and Aziraphale, traveling Time Lord and Companion
”No, I’m afraid you don’t understand,” Aziraphale said in a voice usually reserved for children, small animals, and inferior species, “I’m a Time Lord; I’m not supposed to get involved.”
Crowley was about to ask if tartan was a sign of status on Gallifrey or if Aziraphale was simply embellishing the truth as usual, but decided against it when the scanner lit up.
“Look on the bright side,” he settled on instead, “you’ve already picked me up, so landing on another alien planet can’t make much difference to whatever punishment they’re planning for you at home.”
Newt/Anathema, superhero AU
The main perk of having a psychic wife was not, as you might expect from someone in the hero business, an ability to prevent catastrophes before they happened.
It was, after the danger had been dispersed, justice had been served, and half the city’s fuses had been blown, her ability to always stand prepared with a change of clothes and a case of plausible deniability in case the police were a bit too hot on Newt’s trail.
Even if Anathema always refused to wear anything less sensible than what could be found in her own wardrobe.
Fourth Doctor and Leela, coffee shop AU
He met Leela for the first time when she entered the shop at a quarter past one AM, walked up to the counter and asked for a sharpened blade.
Three hours, two car chases, one case of mistaken identity and a pair of ruined shoes and scissors later, the Doctor showed his gratitude to her for leading him to the location of an antique necklace that had been reported stolen two weeks earlier by pouring her a cup of espresso.
They met up for coffee there four more times before the staff realised that the Doctor didn’t actually work there.
