mtemplar_fic: (THANTH - Doctor/Rose)

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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*

BWAHHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, I'm sorry, is this meant to be a serious omake? XD

That's assuming he doesn't keep us guessing 'til the Christmas special or beyond (given the lyrics of The Stowaway)...

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

What, something went wrong and they're trying to fix it afterwards? Eek.

----------------------------------------------

Did you see my post about fluff prompts set during Series 2? Feel free to raid it for any ideas you might fancy.

This might play into the whole wait-and-see thing, but maybe that return to Karn could be very post-Doomsday (i.e. Series 4), and Ten finds out there's a reason his bond is being tweaked?

Oooh. India could be cool. One of my beefs with the earth-bound plots is that they rarely get outside of a small area. (Yeah, I realize there aren't many places in Wales that could be a stand in for anything on the Asian continent.)

Will never pass up sequels. I think attempting the extremely dark outtake scene from Douze would be fascinating, but I also understand your reservations for limiting its broadcast. Not to LOLcat it, but Difficult subject matter is difficult.

Ten and Rose visit Khajuraho, India in 1200 AD

*snerk* OMG the BabblingBackward!Ten (and anime-like panic eyes) that would happen in this fic... I can just picture it now.

My opinion - write. Whatever you wish. And I shall enjoy!

Heck I'm late into this one aren't I? And it's so important! Well, not really, because I'm with Measi on this - we're going to enjoy it regardless. Well we all know where my hopes lay - Melina and I are just too in sync; 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.


-Under orders from Rose, Ten convalesces on Jackie Tyler's sofa only to have one of his worst nightmares occur. Tentatively titled 'Not Here'.
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. Some well written prose could definitely do it though, so I'd enjoy that.

Ooo a menu of Ten plots! I love it!

What's next - ice planet. I have to admit I think I like the idea of an entirely new story. Not that THANTH isn't at the top of my favourites - it is - but a new one would also open up to new characters and plot. I do love a good plot. Things for us to work out, opportunities for the Doctor to show his brilliance, misdirection, that initial happy-go-lucky that Ten and Rose had together. I haven't watched an older episode for many months, but tonight we watched "Fear Her" because my daughter hadn't seen it. It was really nice to see Ten and Rose enjoying themselves. I love dark episodes, but seeing how happy Ten is with Rose makes the separation all the more poignant.

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?

-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.
Things must go badly - where'd be the fun otherwise?

Sooooo the India one would be...... ah. Got it. Mmmmmmmm not so keen........ shy innocent Ten definitely hotter than well-educated Ten.

Ok, I'd like Jackie Tyler's couch story for nibbles, Melina's sponge bath for entree, and the Ice Planet for Main Course. Followed by Ten for dessert. Lots of dessert.

But seriously, whatever you want to write. One stipulation: Must have TEN! (and ties)

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

I'd like to see this. I love Jackie and would like to see her harassing the Doctor. (Only with the best of intentions, I'm sure.) ;)

-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....

Yes please! After the line from Lyra at the end of THANTH you have to write this.

I'm looking forward to anything you write. :)

Yay! More fic coming. I've wandered over here from teaspoon hoping to see another story soon.

I would like to see any of these but the one I'd most like to read would be the one you've tentatively titled 'Not Here'.

And second would be the ice planet one. But I totally understand wanting to wait to see what happens at the end of S4. I think a lot of people are holding off on some new stories waiting to see what happens first - maybe waiting to see if any Bad Wolfy (is that even a word) things could have an impact on Rose's character past and future.

Have fun writing. I'll definitely be having fun reading them :)
