So I mentioned yesterday in comments that the Ersatz Genremixer had given me a Jamie/Sam prompt that ate my brain.

Actually, strictly speaking, it was two adjacent prompts:

Sam / Jamie - highschool au & mirrors and doubles
Jamie / Sam - experiments by evil scientists & highschool au & electricity

And since it was so insistent on a highschool AU, what could I do but submit?

While I'm on the subject of Zoë and femslash, the first 9-odd minutes of this video give a good idea of Victoria and Zoë's train rides to and from Corfe Castle station in Girl Of Her Dreams. It's (nearly) the right kind of train, too: a 'thumper' diesel, very similar to what ran on the line in the late 60s / early 70s. Though since then the station's gained a footbridge and a signal box, and is in considerably better nick.

Regarding Deep Breath, I may come up with some coherent thoughts later. Or I may not. I think the only remark I can make right now is that I kept thinking of ( hardly a spoiler )

Now back to my entirely non-canonical take on the all-female historical crimefighting couple.
