Flash Fiction Comment-a-Thon Round 2

[eve11]

Welcome to Round 2 of the Flash Fiction Comment-a-Thon! Each round, we are looking to get flash fiction stories (stories that take up no more than the space of an LJ comment) on a related theme across the spectrum of Doctor Who, from a multitude of authors. Below is the prompt; post a comment to claim an era and I will put you on the list. When

Men of Science (One, Barbara, Ian, Vicki; G)

They work on the project like their lives depend on it, which it does

Oh, this is simply brilliant. I love the way the language is simple but poetic, especially: She would have given up a long time ago if she had been on her own, travelling with strangers or mad men.

And the nod to Marathon; subtle and fitting for this week.

Thank you so much for this wonderful fill!

When I saw the prompt of "Flight", my brain immediately responded with "flee" and "escape" and fleeing and escaping was one of the many highlights of Barbara and Ian's tenure. :-)

Thank you for the prompt. This was fun. I can't remember the last time I wrote something this short.

Set Mind To Purpose - PG-13 at most (Three, Liz, Anya (OFC)..)

[femme_slash_fan]

Anya isn't sure why she is so angry with the man. He always swore to protect Liz for her and he had... except now. Now he was back, offering a chance to take flight with him and Liz... Liz was torn.

The usually gentle man had turned on her, snarling and fierce and it had taken Anya snapping back at him to stop him truly hurting Liz's feelings, the Brig, for his part, seemed almost amused.

Anya had allowed Liz her choice, as much as she wanted to say 'Don't leave me' she had never been able to let herself be seen as needy. Liz had accepted the flight and Anya had watched her go, turning her back on the TARDIS to return to work, unaware of the fact the TARDIS had never moved until familiarly gentle arms wrapped around her waist, a small sob breaking her concentration.

Anya had turned, taken in Liz's face and smiled softly, sadly.

"I thought you wanted to fly?"

"Not without you."

Anya smiles, relieved.

"Then set your mind to it Liz, go back in there and make him see you need me with you."

Oh, it's a sweet OC relationship. But why was the Doctor so angry? Was he snarling at Liz because she wouldn't immediately go with him?

Re: Set Mind To Purpose - PG-13 at most (Three, Liz, Anya (OFC)..)

[femme_slash_fan]

I figure he'd probably gone back to see Liz before S-J turned up so yeah... lonely Doctor = grumpy dude.

Re: Set Mind To Purpose - PG-13 at most (Three, Liz, Anya (OFC)..)

Ahhh, lovely. I do love your Anya and Liz stories! And I can see how the Doctor would be jealous and not want to take Anya with!

Beautifully done!

The Scenic Route (Seven, Ace, Gen)

[jjpor]

The Scenic Route

“So where are we going, Professor?” She tries to contain her excitement, but it’s impossible. It’s all she can do not to bounce about like a puppy dog.

He looks up from the controls studding the great six-sided console, does a Laurel and Hardy double-take: “What did I just say about rrrule number two?”

“Yeah, sorry, Professor,” she says, with an insolent smile, dumping her rucksack and rushing to his side, to see what he’s up to. “So where are we…?”

“Oh, you know…” He recklessly slams a lever back on the nearest panel, adjusts the large red plastic knob beside it with safecracker precision. “Here and there, near and far.” His fingers dance over a selection of buttons and switches. As he hits the last one, he’s not even looking because he’s too busy smiling conspiratorially at her: “There and…back again

Beautiful!

Oh, Ace's introduction to the TARDIS in flight... I love it!

Flight (Tegan, Nyssa, Five) Rated G

[ponygirl72]

Tegan hastily double-checked the straps holding the jet-wing assembly snugly against her back, trying to block out the smell of smoke and the sounds of fighting rising from the roof access hatch behind her. An hour of discussing the design of the flight pack and watching Jahred use it to deliver medical supplies to the village below was not the same as learning how to use it properly, but Jahred was in a Loyalist jail cell now, and there were, after all, only so many ways to design the flight surfaces on a powered wing

Flight (Tegan, Nyssa, Five) Rated G 2/2

[ponygirl72]

At first, she thought she was still coming in too fast, but the repulsors gained more power the closer she got to the ground. Half a second before she was expecting it, her feet touched grass and she was stumbling forward across somebody's courtyard, crying out as her left ankle failed to take her weight properly and sent her sprawling onto her side. The jet-wing powered off automatically upon impact, but the harness twisted tightly across her torso, sharp edges digging painfully into her back

Re: Flight (Tegan, Nyssa, Five) Rated G 2/2

[ponygirl72]

So much for the hard limit of 4300 characters. Oops.

Re: Flight (Tegan, Nyssa, Five) Rated G 2/2

[eve11]

Oh but it is absolutely lovely! :D I like the visual of Nyssa and the Doctor gaping from afar. Great character voices too! :)
