Adam Adamant/Georgie, coffee shop AU, please:)

[john_amend_all]

"I still don't see how you get people to come here," Georgie said, gesturing at the crowd of fashionable youth filling the oak-panelled, archaic coffee house. "It couldn't be any less hip and happening if you tried."

"Perhaps," Adam said, raising an exquisite porcelain coffee can to his lips, "that is exactly why they do come here."

[liadt]

Ha, ha, exactly:D Thanks for writing for me \o/

Seven and Ace, magic/supernatural AU

[john_amend_all]

"I'm sure I've mentioned in the past that knowing when to stop channelling mana is no less important than being able to start," the Brown Wanderer said, as he climbed to his feet, shook ash and gledes from his robes, and cautiously surveyed their unfamiliar surroundings. "This time I fear your rrreckless overuse of magic may have given rise to an unexpected spatial displacement. I've got a feeling we're not in Rhosgobel any more, Dorothy."

(Sorry, couldn't rrresist).

[pedanther]

Hah!

(Also, I've learned a new word: I don't think I've ever encountered "gledes" before.)

[john_amend_all]

It's in The Hobbit (when Smaug falls on Laketown) -- that's where I first encountered it.

[pedanther]

Huh. I've definitely encountered it before, then. Maybe by the time I was that deep in The Hobbit I'd spent enough time interpreting unfamiliar words from context that they'd stopped registering.

[romanajo123]

:D That's great!

Question is ... what was Ace attempting to do?

[john_amend_all]

I think she'd specialise in insanely overpowered fireballs.

[lurking_latinist]

Is this still live? If so…

Four/Romana, reality show AU?

[john_amend_all]

"I have to say, faking a breakdown and leaving us trapped here until we do something ratings-grabbing is the producers' most desperate, unrealistic, transparent stunt yet," Romana said, addressing her remark equally to Doctor Smith and the surveillance camera in the corner of the lift.

The Doctor nodded. "I deny this reality, too."

[lurking_latinist]

Oh, delightful! I can just see it. Thanks!

[lurking_latinist]

(And I suspect that taking the lift machinery to bits and Macgyvering their way out might actually be quite ratings-grabbing although perhaps not exactly what the producers had in mind!)
