Walking Work Of Code (353 words) by JohnAmendAll
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Doctor Who (1963)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Second Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon, Zoe Heriot
Additional Tags: Ficlet
Summary: Zoë's determined to make the most of her holographic clothing.
I seem to have done my usual trick of posting lines from umpteen WIPs, and then writing something that isn't any of them. When ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
public_call opened their prompts to everyone, I spotted a prompt for Polly rescuing Ben and couldn't resist writing it.
Polly investigates a factory, and makes some interesting discoveries.
On a different topic: a few memes back one of the characters I picked was Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective (I always think that title deserves an exclamation mark at the end). The other day I discovered by chance that one of her adventures was dramatised for the radio, and is available on iPlayer for the next few weeks: The Redhill Sisterhood.
In some respects, I found the adaptation improved on the original story. In the original, Loveday describes various clues she spotted, but since the narration never so much as mentions them, the reader has to take her word for it. The radio version does make more of an effort to plant them.

liadtbunny's prompt: "277. Catastrophe in the making - Second, Jamie":
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 )

Having received prompts for the following pairings — here they are. As luck would have it, all but one were hand-picked rather than randomly generated pairs.
4. Samantha / Jamie — dusting small breakable things. Suggested by primsong.
6. Rose / Tegan — balancing somebody's chequebook. Suggested by justice_turtle (This was the randomly-generated one).
8. Fitzwilliam Darcy / Elizabeth Bennet — walking the dog. Suggested by lost_spook.
9. Clyde / Rani — getting fingerprints off the walls - suggested by primsong.
10. Lord Dark senior / Miss Hawk — waxing wooden floors. Suggested by primsong; since number 6 was taken, she gave me free choice which pair to use.
15. Dr Gemma Corwyn / Second Doctor — doing the ironing. Suggested by jjpor.

Author's notes: Yes, it's another alternate Season 7.
I think, as well as the prompt, there's at least some lingering influence
from the fic-substitution meme, where
derekmetaltron suggested putting Jamie
in Season 7.
Summary: The Earth has been saved from the Nestenes. But UNIT's scientific advisors really aren't getting on with each other.

Summary: Valentine's Day at H. G. Wells High School.
Author's notes: This being a high school AU setting, the
convention is to give Time Lord characters mundane names. So Two becomes
'Patrick Doctor' and the War Chief becomes 'Edward Master'.
H. G. Wells High School was created by scarfman.
