Happy Wednesday!

So here it is - about time, right? The promised 'Works in Progress and Requests' post. Here's a little bit of what I'm working on/musing about at the moment.

THANTH-related omakes/short stories:

-Under orders from Rose, Ten convalesces on Jackie Tyler's sofa only to have one of his worst nightmares occur. Tentatively titled 'Not Here'.

-A missing scene - Ten's bath by Melina, which would have occurred during Douze. By request from huggabledog, this one might not be appropriate for the masses and may have limited distribution due to some darned disturbing things.

Other stuffs I'm doing outlines for:

-Ten and Rose visit an ice planet in the constellation of Canthares. They are unaware that their every movement is being tracked by something sinister lurking in the confines of a frozen palace of ice. Yeah, I'm still working on the summary, obviously! I'm waiting to see how RTD leaves things with our heroes at the end of DW Series 4 before beginning any major work on this one.

-Ten and Rose return to Karn in order for Ten to obtain telepathic assistance for an attempted mating to Rose. Naturally, things will go wrong....

And... stuffs I'm musing about that may not see the light of day:

-Ten and Rose visit Khajuraho, India in 1200 AD.

-Ten returns to Karn post Doomsday missing Rose terribly and wanting to be close to her again via some bond-tweaking.

EDIT - One more I forgot to list:

-Another post-Doomsday one - inspired by 'El Diablo' from Arcadia's So Red the Rose. Ten makes a deal with El Diablo (last seen in TIP/TSP) in an attempt to bridge the gap between parallel universes. Things, of course, go badly.


So... feel free to make suggestions, requests, bunny dumps at your discretion! All requests will be considered as long as I don't end up tearing my hair out over the logistics. *grins*

Heh. I pretty much figured you'd lean toward the Melina ones. *grins*

I can't get enough of her and Ten. So if you're willing I'm panting to read it. I think maybe the missing bath scene, because we know how things are going to go from there and it would be bursting with tension and angst.

It's actually a fairly important little missing scene, as THANTH is now, you're missing some rather crucial elements - ie while Ten's barriers have been dropped via soporific, he still needs that final 'push' that sets up the subsequent first interaction with Rose. Plus, you don't get to see the actual placement of the false bond that continues to affect him through most of the story. Lots to get done in a short little bath.

Puzzled. Which worst nightmare? Should I know that or is the mystery yet to be revealed? I kinda like the idea of Jackie being gentle with Ten, in consideration of what he's been through, but I can't picture it for myself.

And here I thought that would be fairly obvious! *grins* Since it's not, I'll keep it under wraps for now, but I will say that Ten will get some coddling from Jackie. At least initially.

What's next - ice planet. I have to admit I think I like the idea of an entirely new story. This will be set in the same universe as THANTH, so not entirely new there and if you google the location, you might figure out in advance why Ten is going to have a rather difficult time in this one, as well as Rose. Don't tell if you figure it out!

Ten returning to Karn - yup, obviously I like this because Melina's on Karn and her taste in men is impeccable. Ooo after the ending of THANTH would he then have to make sure they didn't try to recruite him for generating new members of the Sisterhood? Too similar to thanth perhaps? I'm guessing you're referring to the first return to Karn here. It shouldn't be anything like THANTH, with the exception of the same characters. No, the Sisters won't be out to get poor Ten this time (a crime, I know!), they'll be there to offer assistance during a botched mating attempt to Rose.

As for the one inspired by 'El Diablo' - for some reason, a game of cards keeps popping into my head. I'm trying to avoid it. Ten makes a very foolish deal in this one.

You no likey India idea? Picture this: dropping a still very shy innocent Ten into that setting. I'm thinking about using a former classmate of the Doctor's as the antagonist in this one. Not the Master. *grins*

And yes, we will keep track of the ties this time. *laughs* With the exception of the story set in Jackie Tyler's flat. Rose won't let him change his clothes - they go directly there after THANTH.

This is a very wordy comment! Must've taken you a while. Thanks for the thoughts!

It's 3:30am here. Can't get back to sleep. I think I need that bath scene to read!

LOL, Jackie getting too friendly with Ten - that'd be cute. <chuckle> I keep seeing his expression after she kisses him in Army of Ghosts.
I like the idea of all your stories being set in the same universe as Thanth. Adds to the Doctor's history, especially with Rose.

I'm warming to the India story. I'm seeing possibilities. ;-)

Ouch! You are going to be very tired while driving around - not good! I do have a little drabble up, it's a little short, but might do for a bedtime story?

Jackie being too friendly with Ten - although this would be scary for our intrepid hero, that wasn't one of his worst nightmares. *grins* Keep thinking! After you get some sleep, of course.

Yes. India. Think wide-eyed innocent Ten. It could be really good, or I might fall flat on my face.
