This Fabulous Investigation is one of the works in progress that I posted a snippet of last November. This week it took hold of my mind and wouldn't let go. I'll be posting it in instalments, though I'm not sure yet what the frequency of updates will be.

The first: a drabble inspired by Clara's line from the second trailer for the finale, and a certain scene in Survival.

The second was inspired by this news article:

My second bite at the unconventionalcourtship ficathon.

Title: The Girl Without a Past Author: john_amend_all Fandom: Doctor Who Pairing/Characters: Zoë / Isobel Rating: All ages Length: ~2650 words Summary: She'd stolen her heart — but could she be trusted? Isobel Watkins's new business partner was not at all what she'd expected. Beautiful and outspoken, Zoë Heriot was also the perfect image of a woman long thought dead. But was she a schemer in search of a fortune, or an innocent caught up in circumstances she didn't understand? Someone knew the truth, someone who didn't want Zoë to learn too much. Only Isobel could help her — but could she overcome her own suspicions? Notes: Based on prompt 64: 'A Stolen Heart' by Candace Camp.

Title: Find the Lady

Summary: Zoë and Isobel are invited to a friend's house in the country. But when they get there, their hostess is nowhere to be found.
Author's notes: Another fic using the setup from The Investigators. Looking back over it, it seems to me that the plot is entirely secondary to letting Isobel and Zoë chat to each other, but that's the way it goes.

lost_spook introduced me to the curious idea of an AU where the characters from a show run a coffee bar. Two ficlets resulted:

And, inevitably:
