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?

1. More 500-prompts fic. This time it's from liadtbunny's prompt: "277. Catastrophe in the making - Second, Jamie":

   ( Headers below the cut )

2. A few days ago I made a rash remark about filking The Living Daylights as a celebration of Jo Grant — Assassin for hire!

   Turns out it's not an easy song to filk, because A-Ha seemed to have a somewhat cavalier attitude to rhyme, scansion, and singing the words that all the transcripts say they should be singing. But if anyone is morbidly curious, ( it's under the cut )

3. These banners are definitely addictive. ( Unconventional Courtship Banner )

The explanation for this is probably longer than the drabble, but here goes:

Over on thisbluespirit's post mentioning the unconventionalcourtship ficathon, I threw together a Jamie/Sam banner. Then I looked at the list of prompts, and saw number 76.

( Her Man Upstairs, by Dixie Browning )

And straightaway I thought of this. It's far too slender a joke for a 1000+ word ficathon entry, but about the right size to hang a drabble on.
