Some ficlets for my Shakespeare quotes table
Quickly posting these drabbles and ficlets here so I can link to them on 
femslashficlets and Who Daily before I have to step out today, because I won't have time for AO3.
Title: Fast Food
Author:
merryghoul
Rating: General Audiences
Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)
Word count: 100
Pairing: Clara/Me (additional character: OC narrator)
Prompt: Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs - Romeo and Juliet
Summary: A new diner appears near some other fast food restaurants.
I was driving to McDonald's when I saw an American diner situated between a Wendy's and a Burger King. Two women stepped out of the American diner, wearing skirts, leggings and boots; they were exchanging knowing glances and smiles, and I'm certain they said a few things to each other. But before I could get to the front door of the diner, hoping to have something that wasn't one of McDonald's burgers, the two women ran away, as if they were fumes of smoke fleeing to get away from a burning flame, trying to get back up into the sky.
Title: On Having Children
Author:

Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)
Word count: 150
Pairing: Clara/Me
Prompt: Nothing can be made out of nothing - King Lear
Summary: Me thinks about having children again.
Sometimes Me goes through her journals and remembers once she decided to have three children billions of years ago. Then she remembers ripping out the pages where she wrote about her children dying, her tears staining the entries she did decide to keep in that particular journal.
The thought of losing children still terrifies Me. But now she was in space, able to travel to anywhere she wants to--that is, if Clara and she could get their TARDIS to cooperate with them. There had to be some place in space where Me could have a child, if she desired, with Clara, and that child could have an expanded lifespan. Maybe their child could be like River Song before she gave up her regenerations to the Doctor. Clara and Me could have a child seemingly from out of nowhere, but the child wouldn't exist if Me didn't try for one.
