    Summary

    Political changes loom on the horizon. The UK is on the brink of becoming a totalitarian state and newly elected Prime Minister Tom Riddle might just be the man that finally tips the scales.

    Somewhere in London, a hooded man spray-paints a phoenix onto a wall. Another man watches—wide-eyed, scared, hopeful.

    Much later, the hooded man sacrifices himself to save the people most dear to him. Months of torture and military experiments change him to his very bones. He escapes—barely. Now, there is a savage monster residing within, and something as simple as kissing the love of his life becomes an insurmountable feat.

    Or: Sirius joins the Order of the Phoenix to stand up for his own beliefs. Remus is a mysterious resistance fighter with a savior complex.

    and I will show you something different from either // your shadow at morning striding behind you // or your shadow at evening rising to meet you // I will show you fear in a handful of dust. ; The Waste Land, T.S. Eliot. 1922.

    Summary

    I spread out my life to you upon a silver platter, and I have since given you the finest utensils with which to indulge yourself in, and yet you still so desperately wished to escape my loving grasp, you scurrilous-speaking insipid louse. I found it so very fitting to care of you more than the likes of your mother, and I have hence been repaid with utter lonesomeness. What good does the surface have to me, when I have not a single soul to share it with; what good do my efforts make when my true perfect creation has already left me?

    I think not on it any longer. The hour has struck nine in the morning, and the Codys are inviting me to their residence for coffee and pie in celebration of Wanda's inauguration into the surface-unit of the military. Nellie should be there by now, and I reckon she is quite much expecting me soon.

    Summary

    Interdimensional chess isn't fun when you're a pawn. Fortunately for Ford, after his mysterious rescue from the second dimension, he was no longer a pawn. Unfortunately, however, the thing that really ruins the fun of interdimensional chess is just being on the board at all, no matter which piece you might happen to be.

    Summary

    “What did you do?”

    Crevan’s pupils are black like the corridor of the dead man’s throat.

    Eredin swallows. He feels like Crevan is pointing at him with the tip of a knife. He can’t lie to him.

    Possibly incoherent whumptober drabble.

    Summary

    “Where do you want to go?” She asks.

    “And why is it my choice now?”

    She turns, looks at him, blue eyes staring right into his, so bright, so wide, so —

    “I failed Renly,” she whispers. “I failed Lady Catelyn, twice.” Her fingers twitch. There is still red blood under her fingers. Jaime wonders if she’ll ever manage to wash it out. “I failed Lady Sansa and I couldn’t even try. I swore you a vow, and I haven’t — fulfilled it. The only one I kept — I swore Lady Catelyn I’d keep you safe and it’s the only one I have left. I have no choices left to take. They’re yours.”

    She means it, her stare holding his, her lower lip trembling.

    Jaime wonders, when is the last time anyone gave me a choice, any choice?

    He can’t remember it. He can’t remember it, he can’t recall, he only knows he took his own without anyone else to consult because they felt right and she is the only one who saw them, who understood them —

    “You want to not fail the Starks?” He shrugs. “We can go to Winterfell. What do we have to lose?”

    Summary

    I thought I would bring my meta (/poetry) café across to AO3!

    My meta is always very image heavy, and this time it's also rather esoteric, as The Waste Land is not most people's cup of tea. However please don't let that put you off, it's also very beautiful.

    Structurally, I start with the poem/imagery, which will then be followed by lengthy and in-depth notes. No really, this is enormous. (I will also write a more regular meta post later, with all the stuff that does not fit into this very specific reading.) Also, although this meta mostly centers on The Doctor Falls, it meanders through a lot of S10, and even further back.

    But first, here is the second half of the fifth and final part of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, as filtered through Moffat Who. I hope you enjoy.

    Summary

    Originally posted to Live Journal 08/13/03. This story was written the SVFF challenge. My prompts were from Thamiris from T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land

    Chloe/Lex. "(Come in under the shadow of this red rock)/And I will show you something different..." -- T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
    Futurefic. There should be sexual tension, although it doesn't need to be realized, and of course how you choose to interpret "the shadow of this red rock" and what you decide is beneath it is entirely up to you, as is what happens there. I'd like to see Chloe flawed and human, not the love of Lex's life, not someone whom he admires without reservation--a complicated relationship, in other words, not an easy, overly-sweet one.

    and

    Clark/Lex. "Who are those hooded hordes swarming/Over endless plains..." -- T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
    Futurefic, but how near or far into the future is up to you. A sense of the guys' past attraction/love must enter into the current dynamic, with the attraction/love perhaps repressed but still present--a melancholy story, then, not a comedic one.
