Thank you. I wasn't very keen on the prompt, I thought it was going to be a struggle to think of anything, but I came up with this (more a case of the wine spreading lies than revealing truths) and I have a couple of other ideas, so I think I'm okay after all.

Thank you!

Yes, the poor wedding guests don't deserve to be stuck with the memories of that rather ill-advised wedding.

Thank you!

I was a little dubious about this one, mainly because it started off as Jack retconning some anonymous people and then I shifted it to Something Borrowed and because my brain is fuddled due to the Cough from Hell I wasn't sure if I'd managed to make it fit the events. Still can't remember what the shapeshifters are called, lol!

I think they were called the Nostrovites? ;)

That's it! All I could think of were Plasmavores and Carrionites from Doctor Who, and I knew neither of those was right.

Thank you, I can stop racking my poor abused brain now.

very nice. I hadn't even thought of retcon for this prompt, but it fits really well :)

Thank you.

The idea went through several incarnations before ending up being about Gwen & Rhys' wedding, the only thing I was sure of was that Retcon was involved, lol!

Blasted cough, I keep coughing and hitting the wrong keys, or missing them entirely.

There are things I wish I could wipe from my mind too!

Thank you.
