Songs Your Mother Never Sang You. Doctor Who: Ten/Rose, Pg-13.
But the truth of it is: you will never hear your heels click— only the ticking of a clock.
Sometimes you dream in black and white. You never used to, before, but now soft grays color your mother's face, and sometimes she will sing songs that you have never heard before, but you will feel like you should have remembered them somehow. Fairytales, for [info]then_theres_us.

Bless the Weather. Doctor Who: Ten/Rose, Pg-13.
Time has never been a straight line for Rose Tyler. It should have figured that dimensions wouldn't be either. Pre- and Post-Series 4, all at the same time. Summer, for [info]then_theres_us.
The field below is dry and crackling, shadowed by the impending sound of lightning, and even as she shifts uncomfortably with impatience, she can hear the grass crunching against the whisper of a breeze further down from where she's standing. She breathes in deeply, calmly, tasting the changing pressure, feeling fine strands of her hair rising with static.

Um, [info]colorbox made me do it? Seriously though, I am PUMPED for the premiere of True Blood tonight. Who else is with me? Especially since we'll be getting to see our favorite Viking vampire again? But while you wait, you guys have to check out We Have Never Only Been Friends, a fanmix by the crazy beautiful [info]colorbox for Eric and Sookie. I have it on repeat.

I sort of went through the whole first season of Criminal Minds in just a few days. Is it just me, or does everyone possess a sudden and ridiculous adoration for Reid within the first five minutes? Whatever, I'm totally in love with him already. This is for [info]ogiraffe, and another friend of mine who sat me down and explained calmly, and in great detail, why I was an idiot for not watching this show when it began four seasons ago.

+ The rest of the request icons soon, but some of you saved a spot and never returned with images. It's a little difficult to start the icons without them, as you can imagine.

Comment with some caps or photos, the higher quality the better, or simply tell me what you'd like to see more icons of. Depending on how well my Mac fares, I might even post the .psd files of things you request, or try at least to explain how its done. Open to the first 20 commenters, but I'll probably accept more than that if there's a demand.

Once upon a time, I wrote Castles. It was short, and sad, and dealt with the death of Rose. And then I wrote the sequel - about how the Doctor dealt with it. It was considerably longer, and in two parts. I posted the first part. And then I went to college and got a Mac and never posted the second part. My Mac, at the moment, is quite dead, so in my PC wanderings I stumbled across it, really and truly finished it, and am now posting it in its entirety.

Grey (You Always Loved Those Fading Skylines). Doctor Who: Ten/Rose, Pg-13.
It’s silly, he knows, and entirely unhealthy to be doing this. Carrying on conversation like she’ll respond, but is maybe busy thinking of something clever to say, with fingers pulling against her lips as she waits for the perfect comeback.

Heart and Lungs. Sookie Stackhouse series: Eric/Sookie, PG.
Her breath is hot, stays caught in the air like a fly in amber. Summer has arrived, its heavy air a seasonal voodoo, humid and inescapable.
Written before Dead and Gone, so its not in canon. This is just a little vignette type thing to help me get over my rusty writing.

There is something lurking in the heart of Dr. Jackman; a shadow swirling inside him, waiting, waiting, waiting for the moment it can be free. Maybe there's a potion. Maybe there's just a girl. But somehow blood and lust and violence and glee surge up and overtake his soul, and suddenly the good Doctor's conscience blackens and chars; becomes something delightfully dark and twisted. Something which has been hiding. Say what you might; everyone has an alter-ego. His just happens to have a name and unfathomable power. And so eerie electronic beats provide the dark, enigmatic beginning of our modern Jekyll's journey, morphing into vocals as powerful as Hyde's appetite, all framed by electricity and wavering, mysterious voices which seem to insinuate a deeper and more dangerous kind of mind. Proceed if you dare.

Apparently this bright-colors-with-black-background style is a thing with me. This hit me out of absolutely nowhere. I don't even think I was aiming to do anything Doctor Who, but... ta da! A little nostalgic Ten/Rose right in time for the Christmas Special. :)

This seems a bit late, I know, but right after this week college is OVER (for winter break) and I will be itching to do artsy things. So if you'd like a Christmas card from sunny Florida, just comment with your address (don't worry, they're screened)! If you'd like to send one in return, just let me know, and I'll reply back with my address.
